From food choices to your methods of discipline, there will always be someone to question your parenting decisions.

One mom has the internet divided after deciding to shave off her baby daughter's "caterpillar" unibrow.

Posting to Reddit's "AmItheA******?" forum on June 21, user RealisticEnd465 explained she'd had enough of people commenting on her child's "caterpillar" unibrow and decided to take matters into her own hands.

"I think she is beautiful, including her bushy little brow, but I am SO tired of the comments from other people," she wrote.

"Literally on a daily basis, people tell me I should dress her up as Frida Kahlo for Halloween, jokingly ask if she has a caterpillar on her face, tell me dad must be really hairy, etc. Nobody seems to notice anything about her except that unibrow."

Tired of the comments, the mom shaved a "little separation" into her brow.

"I used a tiny little facial razor that is very gentle on skin and made sure to take care of her skin afterwards," she explained.

"It didn't cause any sort of irritation or issues and I've continued to do it every week or so."

Despite her beginning the shaving regime over a month ago, it is only now that her husband has noticed the daughter's new look.

"[He] demanded to know how I could possibly do something like that to our child," she continued.

"He's angry with me because: 1) I didn't run it by him first; 2) I'm going to give her body image issues; and 3) there's nothing wrong with a unibrow.

"I told him when she's old enough to voice her opinions she can tell me what she wants, but until then I'm going to keep shaving it so that people notice more than just her unibrow."

A 2016 study explored how genes influence the type, color and location of a person's hair growth. Conducted by University College London, geneticists analyzed the genomes of 6,000 Latin American people. Measuring seven different hair features—curliness, color, graying, balding, unibrow, brow thickness, and beard thickness—the researchers searched for the genes behind these traits.

They found 18 possible genes responsible for how and where a person's hair grows, with some genes influencing multiple features.

Reddit users were divided on the matter, with the post receiving over 7,000 upvotes and more than 1,500 comments from people debating the ethics of shaving a baby.

Some were concerned that by removing the brow, the mom might give her daughter body image issues when she's older.

"It makes me sad to read all the comments saying you're doing your daughter a favor because unibrows are unsightly," said beecrafts.

"My mom never directly said my unibrow was ugly or wrong, but her solution to any bullying was to help get rid of my unibrow."

Others were concerned that it took the dad so long to notice his child's appearance had changed.

"Your husband just now noticed your kid doesn't have a unibrow anymore, a month after the fact? When it's literally right on her face?" asked Vixen7-9, in a comment that received over 24,000 upvotes.

"Someone else probably pointed it out to him, otherwise he wouldn't have noticed at all," added Lunabelle88.

User TMA1978 suggested a different approach to the situation. "You're too lazy to call people out on their rude comments and stand up for your own child," they wrote.

"If you, as my mother, continue this, your daughter will realize that you care more about what other people think than about how she's OK as she is."
