Waxing, plucking, laser treatment, have been left in the dust for me. None of them were able to keep up with my man-beard. It's a horrible thing to be a mom of young children with a five-o-clock shadow. BUT, I have learned that a bearded chin won't kill me, that people worth knowing don't care about it, that after I'm dead it won't matter, and that marrying the right husband is the answer to all beauty problems. I love that I completely forget about my chin whiskers when I'm at home. I love that he pretends not to notice that I'm using his electric shaver, and I love that he looks at me like I look like someone else. Emily, you are right. It's okay to get older. There are definitely perks that are worth putting up with the drawbacks. Besides, a hairy chin won't matter after I'm dead, but other things will. I still feel like I can top you all.

And yes, because of my Slavic blood, I've got wiry, dark, abundant hairs popping up everywhere (except my head, alas!). We need a Big Fat Greek plucking party... Hilarious!

Unfortunately you can't choose WHERE it appears... you just find it. Thankfully most of my 'extra' is blond/nigh on invisable, yet it's the brown hair (I'm a redhead) that is on my neck straight down in line with my chin that bugs me. I get it waxed every fortnight, and for $10 I feel feminine again. Worth every cent. I'd like some wisdom. If it manifested in a single white hair on my head I'd keep it. A chin hair, maybe not. Maybe that's the point! I have PCOS, a lovely side effect of which is extra body hair. Unfortunately you can’t choose WHERE it appears… you just find it.

Someone besides me has chin hairs! Thanks for this! And I'm so thankful that I only have ONE! What is it about age 30 and hair on the chin? I don't understand it! Yes!

What is it about age 30 and hair on the chin? I don’t understand it!

I was at YW camp this week admiring the cute thin bodies of the younger leaders, remembering that when I was their age I was that size, too. But I wouldn't trade all the stuff I know now for that cute body again. It's great to get older and wiser. The physical body starts to go and it's a reminder that we best be working on the character we'll take with us to eternity. I’m 51 and a pudgy grandma now.
