Parents reaction first time you got armpit hair

[nklarke]

How do your parents (or someone else from your family) reacted the first time they saw that you got armpit hair? Did they say something? Were you embarassed? Did you try to hide it or you didn't care?

[eric2001]

I have hardly any so nobody's said anything yet.

[JustinG]

My mom saw it and mentioned its time to start showering every day now !
Not embarrassed at all. Felt like i had arrived as a guy !

[everlong]

They never said or thought much of it

[pconnor2001]

I don't have any yet.

[raven_student]

i was actually afraid of it at first, like at pools i would always wear a swimming shirt since i didnt was people to see my happy trail or armpit hair, but then i got over it thinking every guy has it, and they didnt even say anything, they acted cool as if nothing happened.

[PinkFloyd]

It just happened and wasn't a big deal.

My sister saw it and made a huge deal about it at dinner and with my aunt,let's say I wore my tank tops rarely after that embarrassing situation.

[Bluebyrd]

No one other than people in my PE class (when we were getting changed) has seen my armpit hair. I do recall my mum and dad seeing my brother's armpit hair though. They just said he's turning into a man and whatnot.

[Vermilion]

They didn't say anything. But I didn't go topless for a summer.

Why is armpit hair a reason for that?

As for the thread, I honestly don't remember their reaction. I just know sis told me to spend more time washing pits, that's all I 'member.

[Sandybeaches]

They weren't really bothered, my dad said i should probs shower more but i have an older bro so it was nothing new and it didnt embarass me, just made me feel older :)

Well, you already are 17.

Because you hide it in front of your family?

Double post merged. -HN

they never said a word about it to me. they did not see it as a big deal and neither did I

[Collinsworthington]

my dad just gave me a pat on the back, and my mom said i was a grody man

[Uranus]

Nothing really except to use deodorant which I already was doing

[murray]

I was a tiny bit embarrassed, but it's just natural. They made a few jokes and then that was the last I'd ever heard about it.

[Sports Boy]

My mom noticed it when we were at the beach with aunts and cousins and she had to make an announcement that I had pit hair. She apologized later but it was embarrassing.

[jssixna]

For me, we were at the pool and my moms as looking and I was really shy.

[drunkbanana17]

I don't have that much yet but they have seen me shirtless and probably noticed but no reaction

[will0c]

Nothing big, just kinda mentioned it off hand and were like "if you have any questions you can ask" and that was that

[nklarke]

Thanks to those who have answered.

[Bad With Names]

I never told mine and always wear a shirt in the pool and stuff unless it's really dark. They've probably see it though since I've been hiding it for 2 summers now.

[Bacca]

They never said anything..

[basketball33]

I can't remember really exactly what happened but it wasn't a big deal at all

[SilverSM]

My sister noticed my armpit hair the other day and she ask me "You have armpit hair" and I got super embarressed because we were at the store

[AJC32015]

I don't think they have seen mine or they've never said anything. I don't wear sleeveless shirts anymore since I've grown hair. I guess I'm a little embarrassed still.

[Silentslayer13]

In all honesty, it wasnnt that big of a deal.......nobody really said anthing

[Daniel2013]

i don't have any yet so no

[talldutch]

I started to get a little bit when I was 10 but they didn't notice until it really started coming in when I was 11. They were surprised because I was so young but it wasn't really that big of a deal.

[kblake]

i wasnt nervous really or ashamed its normal and my parents were cool hey didnt say anything really bc its part of growing up

[hesaidhesaid]

lol no one cares! at least not my family!

[Goat69]

nothing said yet

[Sickkboi]

My mom made a huge deal out of it and said I should cut it which I refuse to do.

[Grisham]

Nothing
