DP asked me this rather odd, inappropriate question this morning

In August we are going on a family holiday to turkey. Going will be me, DP, DSD (14) and my DD (12). This morning I was telling him about my recent eye-brow wax and said I would book an appointment to get the bikini line done so that as it gets closer to august - I will be used to it. He then said "oh yes, I should book DD in too". I was confused at this point and said "what do you mean?" and he said his DD would also need a bikini wax doing before the holiday. She's 14!!
I'm not sure why but this made me feel so uncomfortable. We have had many issues with him treating her as the other adult in the house and giving her "spousal duties" but this just made me feel weird. Or am I old fashioned???

also, pubic hair isn't standard. some women have pubic hair that grows on the tops of their thighs. if the DD in this OP is like that then her swimming costume wont cover it and that's without it being 'skimpy'.

I don't accept that sanitary protection is similar to a bikini wax. Amazed that others think so.

The thing that's weird, i think is the fact he suggested it...

If she had felt comfortable enough to say to her dad i need a bikini wax, her dad might have only just remembered when OP brought it up, which is fair enough, but the other option, too weird to think about...

What's this box room thing people keep mentioning?

My ex used to buy his dd the same clothes as me when we first met. Eg if i bought a top while we were shopping then he would buy the same (smaller) top for his dd.
We both told him this was just wierd and he stopped doing it.
On its own I guess this isn't that wierd of your DH - maybe he was thinking yuo could make it a girly thing and bond, but as you say there are other issues with him treating her as a 'spouse' then it is a bit off.
