For Moms??

I know that there are a lot of moms (like mine) who let their daughters shave, because it only seems normal. but i've also noticed that there are a lot of girls whose mom's don't let them shave!! i understand that there are some who are afraid that they will accidentaly cut themselves by the razors, but their is hair removal cream also. If there are Mothers out there who don't let their 12+ year old daughters shave, I was just curious as to why you don't let them??Thanks for your answers!!

Update:

thanks for your input Muriz H, but i guess i forgot to add that i'm not a mother! i'm only 13! Haha, sorry about that. i just know a couple of girls who arent allowed to have their legs shaved, which is why im asking this question.

thanks again!

Update 2:

Thank you for your input Pica! but i was wondering, how old are your daughters? are they upset that they aren't allowed to shave??

    I dont let my daughters shave because shaving isn't a necessity it's a vanity. And I dont feel my daughters should be concerned with vanity at there age. I would much rather them be concerned about there school work and self confidence without the help of to much vanity. Now dont get me wrong they do wear makeup but I as there mother limit those things they're not allowed to wear certain things such as dark make up or dark polish, shorts above the thigh muscle, low cut shirts, and listen to certain types of music or watch movies with excessive violence,sexual content, or profanity. Another reason is beacause I allow them to do and have those things at certain ages..so I guess it's kinda like leverage.
