Piercing ears for baby girl

[Ja Rhule]

How old was she when she got her ears pierced and who pierced her ears?

My daughter is 2 months old so I figured it's time to do some research.

This won't be a popular opinion but what the hell...

 

Piercing the ears of a child under the age of 10 should be prosecutable as child abuse.

[Scrumtrilescent]

Both of ours were in 3rd grade before we let them do it.  It's a responsibility and they should be old enough to take it on.

Why would a 2 month old baby need pierced ears? 

[Ja Rhule]

I'm not saying I'm going to pierce her ears right now but it's good to know when people are doing it.

I wanted my daughter to wait until she was 12 years old but I gave in to her and my wife and let her get it done at 10.  She had it done at Claire's for her birthday party. About three other girls got it done at the same time.  I never understood the  pierced ears on a baby.

How dare you force "feminine" ideals on a young girl.

When she's 40

we pierced my daughters ears as an infant- not sure how old, but under a year for sure.

that's not what it's about at all, it's opposition to forcing a bodily deformation (and the pain that comes with it) on a baby or a small child for what ultimately amounts to your own desire to accessorize your children. no baby gives a damn about an earring, it's about parents willing to put that child through the pain so everyone will ooh and ahh. terrible practice imo

So boys should not be circumcised until they 10 or older according to huddle?

Probably shouldn't be at all, considering there really isn't hard proof that there are benefits or that it needs to be done.

 

Regards to the child getting ears pierced, I would assume they should at LEAST be at an age where they can decide if they want it or not......

It starts out small with ear piercing. Then it's boys with motorcycles, tattoos, and then turning tricks for meth. Think about the road you're sending her down. :-)

I had boys so never had to deal with this... but I'm with Inmicus... they'd at least be 10, and probably 13 before I'd even consider letting them.

 

Had one of my boys wanted to pierce his ear, I would have just punched him in the arm and said no.
