Teen Mom Waxes Toddler's Eyebrows: Too Young Too Soon?

[@loveleahannah]

was anyone else annoyed with the stage/fake laughing at the piano with her daughter. ugh

[@user-yh9vd9yz9u]

✋

[@danielaxoxo0000]

So fake lol

[@marzipanmango]

Excuses excuses: her daughter had normal little kid eyebrows. I'll bet you a million dollars nobody ever said "ew, she has a unibrow", Farrah is just obsessed with appearance -_- I feel SO bad for that little girl :(

[@Literally_Kyle]

Out of all of the teen mom kids Sophia got made fun of a lot for her appearance so ur comments kinda wrong :/

[@xoemilyox1]

3 year old children don't bully each other over appearance!! They are not that self aware at that age. And if you pluck ur toddler child's unibrow bc adults comment on it, you are part of the problem!!

[@averysullivan3931]

xoemilyox1 That's not true.

[@victoriarocha75]

If you are okay with piecing a baby's ears or circumcision then you have no right to complain that she plucked a few hairs on her toddler.

[@MulticultureINSPIRIT]

1 is for religion

[@jessicawolff6560]

Victoria Rocha I agree! My mom pierced my ears as an infant, and it's not uncommon for a lot of parents to do so.

[@jakeystarsuper]

Thats diffirent. But waxing eyebrows off a baby is silly. Well in my opinion.

[@brittneymoore201]

actually its to lower the chances of infection and stds for when they get older. @MulticulturINSPIRIT

[@barbaradalzell2597]

Victoria Rocha 👏👏👏👏👏 Amen!!! Ty ty ty ty!!!

[@marissaneri7575]

I think 3 is a little to young to have her eyebrows plucked and or waxed. but I do agree somewhat with Farrah. plastic sugury is way different then pulling a few hairs.

[@ambzerambzer8800]

A slight unibrow on a 3 year old doesn't matter, if she was a little older I would've just put a little hair remover cream only in the middle for 2 minutes then wash it of if anything

[@cheetahgirl3863]

if the child needs a unibrow plucked because of people being mean I understand it's nothing like plastic surgery

[@itslife3767]

Cheetah Girl that's not the point , the skin is TOO DELICATE!!! if a child is being bullied it's the other parents job, to reassess and put their own parenting and child in check.

[@andieb3632]

You're enforcing the idea that physical appearance matters.

[@barbaradalzell2597]

Saundra K You can't control other ppls children, and you cannot control other parents. If it makes ur child feel better about themselves than in my book I would totally do it! Also, that's a lie. My sister is a dermatologist and my Aunt is a pediatrician... The child's skin is NOT to sensitive to use tweezers or waxing strips. Even the Dr in this video spoke of HOT WAX which most ppl dnt use for small areas anyways. Wax strips are NOT HOT WAX!

[@barbaradalzell2597]

mira taylor She could be in daycare or Pre school. You can't just remove ur child from every situation they dnt like their whole lives. That is just unrealistic..

[@barbaradalzell2597]

Angie B. To kids, teens, and most adult women it DOES matter! Hence why women shave, wear make up and jewelry, do their hair, and so on... No one is "forcing" that belief.. Lmao...

[@genesisguerrero8400]

Mother’s pierce their babies ears all the time, and it’s considered just fine. I don’t see any harm in plucking your toddlers eyebrows while they’re asleep IF there’s a chance or they are already being bullied for it. Fine. NOW, to wax a toddler’s eyebrows is a big no no. You risk the hot wax getting on their eyelashes, or worse, inside their eyes. Babies don’t know to stay still, and not open their eyes during waxing so you’re just asking for trouble.

[@barbaradalzell2597]

Oh Plz!!! Ppl will make a big deal over anything!! Smh... Waaaa... She plucked her daughters eye brows... Waaa... Omg! STFU and grow up ppl!! Do you think you're the perfect parent?? Do you think if ur everyday life and everyday parenting was on TV that the world would be calling you "The greatest parent in the world"?! This is HER daughter! She is not abusing her! In fact she doesn't even spank! How many of YOU spank? Tons of ppl think any swat on the butt or hand is "abuse"... Does that mean YOU are "abusing" ur child?? Let HER be the parent, and make the choices SHE sees fit for HER child, and grow the hell up!

[@sallyvillarreal4294]

The kid probably didn’t know about the “bullying” (online comments) until her Mom told her. There are already so many challenges with growing up in the spotlight, if she can’t ignore a few online comments, that kid has a rough road ahead.

[@kissie602]

ABC news always overreacts to things the mom is not a teenager she is a adult she is 20 years olds!! But she should never pluck or wax her daughters eyebrows at that age

[@krystal1261]

She cares way to much what ppl think, my 10 year old had a uni brow growing and I asked her to wax she is to scared, I get that, I started wax at 14.. she takes the trimmers and gets her uni fixed up. I think ppl are way into what others think , that girl was 3, when my kids were babies up to 3 to 4 they had back hair ! Not once did I try to rid of it

[@karajames4273]

I love Farrah Abraham she’s the best

[@vanessaperez7591]

Teaching her to be obsessed over her a appearance at age 3 will cause her to do worse things when she's a teen. Including plastic surgery.

[@twst1]

welcome to the age of social networking. People don't think twice about posting anything and everything online

[@biologistotobe]

THEY CALLED A DERMATOLOGIST TO TELL EM NOT TO WAX A 3Y OLD HAIR?? come on dear americans its called f**n common sense...

[@gudrunw.866]

I'm not interested in running my own business, and my mother is a very successful woman without heaps of product on her face as am I.

[@ststTV]

I feel like 10 or 12 should be a good age to start

[@blkskin1]

If she dislikes and changes her own natural beauty thats on her, but she let society make her feel self-conscious about her own child.

[@Raynenigh]

FYI: Our oldest daughter actually did graduate high school w/her graduating class but also was recognized for completing her 1st college degree & state certification 2 weeks prior to the high school's commencement ceremony so she was recognized for both; she hasn't quit either. Now, w/a supporting husband, she is working full-time & working toward her graduate degree. So you can give your pity to someone who needs it b/c it's not us or our children! They're doing better than fine!

[@MegaSonglover99]

why is this news?

[@classicstorm]

Because this was important news that we need to see...

[@xPopxTartsx]

Her daughter really isn't all that cute

[@MistyMay69]

HOW CAN U TALK ABOUT A CHILD U NEED TO FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO DO WITH UR TIME THEN HATE ON PEOPLE KIDS

[@xPopxTartsx]

Misty May Dear fucking god calm down with the caps lock. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who thinks so.

[@MistyMay69]

***** LIKE I SAID GROW THE FUCK UP N FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO DO WITH YOUR TIME PEACE

[@xPopxTartsx]

Misty May You should really get your caps lock key fixed :(

[@MistyMay69]

***** I DON'T NEED TO GET A DAM THING FIXED I DO IT TO GIVE PEOPLE LIKE U SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT!!!!! :) BUT HER DAUGHTER IS BEAUTIFUL N IT TAKES A SORRY ASS PERSON LIKE U TO SAY SUCH A THING ABOUT A CHILD

[@Kkramer027]

Its not the fact that she is plucking her eyebrows its that she is teaching her kid that she has to look like everyone wants her to look. She is showing her kid that you have to fit societies definition of pretty.

[@mrblessed420]

I think the news headline should be "why is Farrah Abraham plucking her kids eyebrows on the news? America being blinded by illusions that are irrelevant."

[@Raynenigh]

It's usually a private school but yes, they can attend what is referred to as Pre-K school. Usually, it's for academically advanced children, as they're tested before accepted into the program, but the schools exist. Both my girls attended as did I though we went to these pre-K schools in different states. It's ALWAYS best to start teaching a child from the womb then continuing after they're born through the use of music, reading to them, & teaching them to understand certain concepts early.

[@hoe9710]

SHE DID THE RIGHT THING! She didn't want her baby too be a gremlin!

[@claraellen6977]

I don't get why this is the news? She plucked her daughters eyebrows! So what? It's her daughter and if she feels it's the right thing to do then let her get on with it! Why do the media have to publish a news story about it? It's not a big deal. Just because she's a reality TV star doesn't mean they have to publish everything she does. Give her and her daughter a break...

[@haribohipster3221]

Farrah is her own person if she wants to pluck her kids eyebrows or wax them or whatever let her cause I'd rather her pluck/wax her child instead of beating her and treating her worse BE GRATEFUL PEOPLE!

[@marissaneri7575]

waxing and plucking is pain. therefore she is harming her child. also Sophia was only 3 when she did it! she cannot consent to it and also it really could damage her skin!

[@GadSammit]

It's the exact same. A beauty routine can come across as abuse, a kid feeling like her mom doesn't love her unless she's pretty. Putting her through that pain is the exact same as slapping her for laughing too loud. Lest we forget: Sophia is her own person, too. She shouldn't have to worry about a plastic, moronic existence at such a young age. She shouldn't have to be a paranoid hackjob blowup doll like her mother. Someone step in for this kid & let her grow up correctly!!

[@haribohipster3221]

shes not intentionally doing it harmfully to her child tbh she doesn't know better

[@ThatgirlnamedJodie]

The kid was too young HOWEVER Farrah is the type of girl who has probably been through it and doesn't want her daughter to suffer the way she did. It's natural instinct kicking in but the kid is too young.

[@lilmisuk]

SO FUCKING TRUE!! Alot of people don't complain when little black girls get their hair permed or pressed etc, because it's all in the name of 'beauty' and i don't agree with what farrah did, but from the idea you presented, people are being hypocritical in that sense :/ my mum didn't allow me to get extensions until i was 13!! i'm 18 now and she still isn't happy with the idea of me getting my hair relaxed!! ANYWAYS........thought i'd just share that :)

[@hayleylatimer7375]

Why are people saying Farrah is addicted to her physical appearance. I'm not trying to defend Farrah but have we seen people like Michael Jackson and Joan Rivers.

[@Raynenigh]

You brought up the fact that you felt "sorry" for my children. I'm just showing you that there's nothing wrong with any of my children, esp my daughters. They are thriving young women w/clear set goals, & don't mind working hard to get what they want - incl'g their college educations! Their personal appearance is extremely important b/c nobody wants to come into a high-end business where the women aren't looking their best as well as business-like whether they own/operate or work for a business.

[@angelapower5160]

someone should call CPS on her onces and for all and get that poor child took away from her. I have a 14 month old daughter and there is no way in hell that I would be doing that at 3 years old to my daughter. CALL CPS ON THAT WOMEN ONCE AND FOR ALL !

[@kim6334]

I think she did the right thing with her daughter. Her daughter was alright with having it done and made her feel better.

[@othgirl20]

Whats the difference with putting makeup on sensitive skin? Just eye brows. She didn't go too far. Just looking to make pointless news, just because she wants to make herself feel better as a person, doesn't mean that she is doing that to her daughter. This is the dumbest thing I've seen.

[@happyhippymorgan]

Don't teach your kid that they have to change in order to please bullies, teach them

[@rogerscottburchett1]

shes just trying to get in the news

[@TheChannyj28]

At the age of 3, most kids aren't around ppl who are going to "bully" them. Like the dermo said, NO earlier than 7 or 8... it's not necessary before then. And then ONLY if the child if being bullied. At 3 it has more to do w/ the parent and NOT the child.

[@MegaJared2]

Dude this is nothing. Nothing compares to the woman who had her daughter TANNING at three and ended up with skin cancer bc she was tanning so much for so long.

[@Nikkimomo]

You shouldn't even do it at all until she wants to do it on her own. If people are bullying her it's because those people have no lives.

[@ChivosGarage]

I would Never Ever do that to my little girl. She needs to be more responsible.

[@cassiebellamy6151]

It's funny though she does that because she wants her daughter to be beautiful and pretty but she is so narrow minded that she is unaware of what plucking eye brows ,in such a young, age can do the skin. when her daughter grows old she's gonna have really destroyed skin then her face become unpleasant and that's when she gets bullied.

[@bethancillo2051]

seriously its her child she can do what she wants to her and she did it to protect her from being bullied later on in life.......I have thick eyebrows and started waxing/plucking them when I was round about 5/6 because I got bullied so Farrah wasn't being selfish she was protecting her daughter.........also Farrah can do what she wants to her own body its not self obsessed.....if u wanna c self obsessed go and watch the real house wifes of Beverly hills or look in the mirror

[@Raynenigh]

Granted, the waxing was a bit much but there's nothing remotely related to child endangerment when plucking eyebrows on a 3 to 4 yr-old child. Both my girls have gone w/me on Fridays for hair-day, facial, mani-pedis, & even the occasional massage. The girls each began shaving earlier too but w/certain ethnic groups (I'm Native American & dark/dark hair passed to my girls) it was necessary to shave & even bikini laser earlier. They're confident young women who don't need approval of others!

[@Blessed4infinity]

Their eye brows!! These people are making her out as if she committed a crime. Who cares she's her mother! She can do whatever she wants . And yes children at 3 get bullied but not from other 3 year olds but adults. That's what reprehensible.

[@gudrunw.866]

You are so rude. Wow. She says that she doesn't think this is right and you call her insanely stupid. And you say you're a mother? I feel sorry for your children. :(

[@The0Vivacious]

your saying the three years old kid faced so much criticism over her eyebrows? Really?

[@LoveIsNotNotLove]

PS keep your kids off of the social media. You can use private channel settings in Google and KZbin, btw, to limit viewers to your own circle. Don't let the trolls, the negative, the cruel, the bullies have access to your kids! Don't be..

[@assassin971]

When did three year olds care about eyebrows? I cared about food, candy, the outdoors, my mommy holding me, and bedtime stories. ^_^

[@grantdavis6363]

This shit is corrupting the minds of teen girls and little girls worldwide, if u can't accept your beauty from the inside, then u got some major insecurities here missy.

[@cate00149]

I don't think is has ANYTHING to do with her age, Farah has a pretty high opinion of herself as a parent and thinks she is always right and i am sure she always will, whether now or in 20 years

[@eugeniamiller3744]

SMH..Farrah was so much prettier back to then. But her attitude has always been horrible..What a unhappy person. Sad.

[@MissMichelle103]

WTF are you talking about this is a 3 year old girl not a grown woman. She shouldn't even be on a reality tv show in the first place.

[@emmacracknell9700]

Why the hell does she actually have custody of that poor little girl very very shameful

[@LukeFlint]

1.) Farah is crazy beautiful 2.) Why is this news?! People are so feeble and weak these days, imagine what happened to kids growing up during the great depression, this was the least of anyone's concern, those depression era "kids" went on to build this country! Society has become so stupid, we pamper and baby the hell out of kids. You need to scape your knee and get bruised growing up! It's part of life!

[@sarahkristine9081]

And how much criticism is her daughter going to get when everyone is talking about what an awful irresponsible mother he is?

[@michelledenis6727]

don't judge just because she made a mistake there's adults out there that have kids and they make mistakes too no one is perfect not even you

[@xyxean]

worried about criticisms? she's 3 ffs. i don't think she cares at all wtf is wrong with these people. and @Colthrone you're saying bad parenting is okay as long as it's not public? smh

[@Raynenigh]

You're speaking in generalizations, not specifics. Farrah is a beautiful young woman so it's understandable that beauty treatments is a mom/daughter thing they can do together. I did w/both of mine & YES some young girls DO know what beauty is! She saw my portfolio & knew I did modeling so our beauty day outings were confidence build'g much like our hitting baseballs at batting cage was stress-relieving!

[@peggygarcia4834]

The child doesn't leave her side who bullies her. She's 3 duh.. She's lying.

[@gg3457]

Wow! People now will bully her for the mom she has.

[@shazxxxxxxx16786]

she didnt need plastic surgery in the first place! Omg what is wrong with these people

[@melanieriggleman1523]

I am 33 years old an I sometimes get a burn when I use wax I cant imagine a child with there sensitive skin! If that child got a reaction that's no diff then someone burning there child with cig or other things! An normal person did that they lose there kid

[@Naybooo]

I don't see what's wrong either ! I wish my mom would've waxed my unibrow when i was little! I didn't get bullied until middle school cus of it. It sucked ! My mom wouldn't let me pluck it out or anything,so i decided to let my friends do it because they said it looked bad . Even if my mom got mad, i dont regret doing them. Now as i'm older i do it whenever i want.

[@MultiValerie21]

That kid needs more than eyebrow plucking!

[@mitten401]

What sick parent would pluck her childs eyebrows at the age of 3 yrs old

[@Raynenigh]

Keep your pity; it's wasted here!.Oldest 2 both have college degrees, work full-time, & married w/the oldest daughter (middle child) is working on her grad degree & works in the medical field. The youngest daughter has a 4.0 GPA since 1st grade & she's a junior now; she was nominated/inducted into the Jr & HS Honor Society & is running for office this year. She tutors others & takes classes after a college found her & offered the program but she graduates w/her class but could have a degree b4.

[@Raynenigh]

FYI: I didn't do bad at all b/c I was always rec'g compliments & even questions about how I kept the girls' hair so healthy, shiny, & even straight when it was down rather than in 2 braids as children then 1 braid after 16yrs old (cultural thing)- some who stopped me in town or grocery stores were even hairdressers. I used to rinse their hair & mine in beer a bar owner gave me (he passed away & bar sold) but I'd rinse our hair in beer for shine & health; it was amazing after soak & cold rinse.

[@bayleenicole2096]

The age isn't ideal . but I've seen a lot of kids with EXTREME HAIR ! I dont think this is bad I mean how else is she supposed to remove the hair ? People just want to constantly ridicule the teen mom cast . teen moms in general

[@chrisg4584]

Who's bullying her daughter? Usually with kids, bullying tends to happen at school (or any place where they're around other kids, which for most would mainly be school most of the time) or on the internet. Her daughter is 3, too young for school & probably can't read what's said on the internet. I hope she didn't just do this on account of what she's read people on the internet saying.

[@peggygarcia4834]

That child is a possession to her, money making thing to her. She doesn't care about her whole heartedly it's all about money, appearance and what farrah wants. Not what's in the best interest of that little girl. That's sad.

[@Baabygirlkiwi23]

it's HER body and HER child

[@eternal.prospect]

No, not all teen parents are like this. I like Farrah more than most of the moms from the show, but it's things like this that make judgemental assholes think that all teen parents are ignorant. And to that one women, YES young kids can get bullied. I clearly remember not yet being 4 and getting teased because I had two different colored eyes.

[@wicahpiskye619]

HONESTLY people i wished that my mother had plucked my brows and things like that . i was bullied somtimes cuz of my apperance i don't really see anything wrong with her plucking her daughters UNIBROW

[@thebutterflykisses9]

why is she considered famous just cause she spread her legs not to sound harsh she doesn't deserve to be on the news all she did was auditioned for mtv 16 and pregnant just to have her bills and daughter taken care of my god.....

[@MrDopekid7]

All she did was just wax her daughters eye brows she not soliciting her for sex damn.

[@juicyjod]

If people are commenting in a 3 year olds eyebrows they not very nice people to be around your child. Kids should be kids for as long as possible. It is a harsh world out there when your older and understand. But sophia and any other child is non the wiser so let them play.

[@beautifulstranger85x]

Smh that baby don't know anything about being bullied.

[@lakhvirkaursingh52]

She's plucked her daughters eyebrow and now they are going to grow even thicker and bushier so is she going to pluck her eyebrows now till she's sixteen....not a good move

[@MyMiniBratMyMiniMe]

That poor kid's self esteem. :(

[@leezaweezy7864]

She needs a real reality check

[@cate00149]

Its people like you who think that children should be judged with the adult view of "beauty" (which is already destructive for adults who do not fit it so why the hell would you want to put these standards on children!) Its people like you and others like you who think children who do not look like models should alter their appearance that cause low self esteem and bullying in our society, so congratulations

[@jellyboy123]

omg!! Farrah Abraham is so amazing.

[@mariiee420]

PFFT!!! like bullying has an age limit!!

[@michelledenis6727]

i dind't even know 3 yr olds can go to school that young but i think she was just trying to help her daughter out, the mom was young and didn't know it was a huge deal but now she knows it's not a good idea to do it at that age anyways it couldn't of hurt the child that bad if she can sleep thr it really

[@alejandrosmama89]

Sophia is an innocent little girl that doesnt even understand what beauty is my 2 year old son has a uni brow and a hairy back I would never go to that extent when he would be 3 years old to wax or pluck his hair im going to teach him what beauty really is and that you do not live for looks and to also embrace his psychical appearance if he comes to me at 8 years old and asks me to do it i'll try to encourage him out of it but if it is really what he wants then only then will I do it

[@Raynenigh]

If you can't understand that, I feel sorry for you b/c you will never earn an income above minimum wage let alone open your own business & run it successfully b/c a woman needs to learn to walk w/a certain grace yet confidence, wear appropriate business attire, & take care of all the other areas such as hairstyles, brow-waxing, & appropriate makeup for the office - clubbing makeup doesn't bode well in a successful business atmosphere, tho I doubt you'd know anything about it!

[@MaddiiV1992]

seriously publicity stunt it was all over her twitter now she's getting all these interviews. She's basically saying looks are everything.

[@mimigrabner4486]

Kids are mean. Even at that age. But you teach your child young that they are beautiful just the way they are. I can say the other Mom's on the show want nothing to do with her as a mom or as a person. That poor little girl.

[@heywhatever.8016]

Well if your child was being bullied becasue of her eyebrows you wouldn't just leave them there

[@andieb3632]

Or maybe Sophia should stop reading the online comments. Oh wait. That's right 3 so she can't read!

[@jilltheprivateinvestigator3328]

Who is picking on a 3 year old, especially considering she isn't in school yet?

[@SamaraDeraleau]

Please tell me how thats bad parenting? Just because you dont agree with it doesnt make it bad. I agree with Beni. Chill out!

U don't know EST 3 year old get bullied? The ones on tv growing up in front of the cruel world obviously.

[@nana_untamed]

Her kid her decisions I don't see anyone paying her bills to tell her what she can and can't do lol

[@I4LUV4STARZ]

3 year old seriously any Sophia is not worrying about her eyebrows right now. Also that is the most ignorant thing I heard hair gets thick so by the time she is a teen when she would care about her eyebrows they would be more of a unibrow thick eyebrows. Her 15 minutes of was up please don't do this to get attention

[@denisekinzle4536]

She actually needed it because she has a uni brow.I can't stand F but this was a good idea.
