Hi-
Welcome to the list. My name is Anee. It is always nice to see a new face.
I am 21 and have moderate CP, as well as degenrative joint disease, and
hypertension, not to mention a few other things as well--seems like I add a
new one every week.
As far as shaveing goes I just don't worry about that often. Usualy I were
tops with sleves and pants. If I am gooing swiming I just say "oh well who
cares if men don't have to shave there legs then why should I". That's my
thinking--equality for the sexes! I know socitey thinks that woman should
shave there legs and axilla but it's just too hard to do. I have tried those
hair removel creams and such and they don't really work. I am just not going
to worry about shaving and I know plenty of others like myself. It's up to
you and your daugters I guess to figure out how much you want to stress over
it. Maby those creams will work better for you all. If you find a magic
bullet for this let me know.

however, I am wondering about the shaving. She has gotten a headstart on her
sister with the hair growth, so now I'm thinking "My gosh, it's coming!".
For anyone out there, how did you deal with puberty? My husband is also a
wreck about having to deal with it. Will I need to shave Breanne's arms and
legs as all women do as they get older? >>
