My mom's moustache is becoming more and more obvious and I am concerned about her ability to function in society. I'm afraid to tell her about it, as it may hurt her feelings. What should I doe?

Ask her if she's ever gotten her upper lip waxed. Tell her that you overheard two teachers talking about it at school or something. That'd be a good way to start the conversation. If she seems open to the idea, kindly say what you need to say, if not, she may just be set in her ways and not care what other people think. It's not going to affect her ability to function in society.

Function in society? I hope you don't say anything to her about functioning in society. What does her moustache have to do with that. You know all people have them. Most are just blond. If you are dark headed like me with very black eyebrows then the moustache will show up. They have something in the store called surgiwax that will remove it but it is not pain free. You heat it up in the microwave. Buy her some of that. Why not take her to get her eyebrows and moustache waxed and you pay for it as a treat. She should not shave this will make it grow back thicker. I was made fun of growing up because of mine. Now I realize it is really a very common thing. And once again I have to ask what her moustache has to do with her functioning in society?

I agree with Kathryn. Function in society? That phrase jumped right out at me. I would say "Mom would you want be to be honest even if something may hurt your feelings? Then say the hair on her lip seems to be getting darker. Don't call it a mustache. Tell her you will help her if she wants to buy some Nair or whatever, No shaving. My Mom has it too & I showed her how to use Nair & how long to leave it on etc. But if it doesn't bother her it shouldn't bother you.

Your mom, notwithstanding a impressive guy or woman, somewhat would not understand what you're dealing with and what you pick. it somewhat is time you obtain some suggestion from a to blame male. it easily relies upon on the place you're. In a number of cultures, it somewhat is a mark of stepping into the subsequent diploma of your lifestyles to have facial hair.

You haven't told us how old you are and how old she is.
If you're both adults, then buy a new electric razor for yourself and show it to her. Get one of the new Norelco Philips models for men and tell her you hear many women are using them nowadays. Once you've used it yourself, tell her how good it is. Tell her to try it out any time she fancies.
Then hope she takes the hint.
Remember virtually all women eventually grow a moustache of some sort.

Well, find out if her hair stylist does waxing. Tell her that your mom needs an upper lip wax and get a gift certificate for it. Buy her a dozen roses and tell her you love her so very much, but you hate one little thing that can be fixed easily.....so the neighbors won't laugh and the children won't cry anymore....

Ouch....that's tough. Is there an aunt, or best friend of your mother's that you could ask to talk to her on your behalf.....Having someone she confides in all the time tell her might be easier for her to deal with. Otherwise, you need to just sit her down and tell her exactly what you wrote here....That you don't want to hurt her feelings, but that you want the best for her and you want to help her. Then go from there.

Don't tell her...just make an appointment for her at the spa, arrange for them to do her nails and a moustache wax!

Talk to another adult about it, someone who is close to her and loves her. Your mom is obviously having a hormone imbalance, and this can be fixed.
Suggest to the person you speak to that they suggest to your mom that she get these hormone levels tested.
1. Estrogens,
2. Progesterone,
3. Testosterone (yes women have a little bit of Testosterone), 4. Thyroid check: Free T4, Free T3, TPO antibodies, and TSH levels.
