I(22f) recently came home to visit family for my little sister’s b’day (14f). I thought it’d be fun to treat her to a girl’s day out and take her to the nail salon and buy her a new outfit for summer. While we were out at the salon, my sister asked me if I could also pay for her waxing (brows and lip area).

However, the issue is my parents who are more conservative. We’re southeast Asians, so she does have darker, more visible hair. My mom is pretty adamant against removing body hair, even shaving or any form of makeup until you’re an adult. Not sure why, but it’s always been a thing. I ended up giving in since she told me she was getting self conscious about it and didn’t want her feeling down on her birthday.

Anyways, when we came back home and I pretty much got kicked out and yelled at which sucked. It got out around the family and while some people didn’t understand why my parents were mad, some of my cousins/aunts told me that I was a bad influence and that “I was telling my little sister that having body hair wasn’t okay” which wasn’t my intention at all. Anyways, I’ve been kinda lost on how to feel about this situation and wanted some outside perspective, aita?
