At some point, she is going to be her very own person, with her very own preferences and tastes - better to practice now, while she has mom and/or dad to assist in the learning process. Something about choosing one's fights carefully........ earrings isn't the one to wage war over. |

My grand daughters paternal grandmother had her ears pierced when she was like 4 months old, and J has worn them since then. Recently she asked her mom to remove them, so her mother did. Now the woman is constantly trying to convince J to put them back in and the child is adament "No" ............"but your ears will close" ............"So, I dont want them" Now she has asked to have the earings, which makes me afraid she will force J to wear them. We put them in a ring box and gave them to her and sure enough she questioned J about putting them in again! How many times does this child have to say No ? I want to tell her "they are your ears and if you dont want earings in them you dont have to have them in" but I think I'll just let her have this argument with her other grandma and see who wins....I'm bettin on J though... she is one tough cookie to break ! LOL! |

LOL! They shouldn't have been pierced to begin with. Of course she shouldn't HAVE to wear them. Good for her to say no. I hope she throws a major temper tantrum about it and annoys the hell out of Grandma. (No you, the other grandma!) |

Hi Tiff....you make another point that I happen to agree with "they should'nt have been pierced to begin with" My feelings are , as were with my own daughters was when they were old enough to ask to have them done then o.k. Both my daughters wanted thier ears pierced between 5-7 years old ( been a while to remember exact ages). I remember my oldest having to be bribed with a barbie doll to get the second ear done because after the first was done she said......... uh no way! 20 years ago they hadn't figured out to do both at the same time lol! I still do not have mine pierced, never wanted pierced ears or anything else for that matter. Both my girls have ears and then some pierced. I have witnessed J letting her other grandma know exactly how she feels in the past so I am confident she is giving her the what for and how come on this as well smile |

Yea I waited for mine to ask........remember when S was sticking safety pins in her eyebrow and naval when she was like 14? At 19 she has unmentionables done now , all I know is not my cup a tea!

I still do not have mine pierced, never wanted pierced ears or anything else for that matter. Both my girls have ears and then some pierced. That's exactly how I feel as well. Old enough to ask, old enough to want, old enough to get. I think I was about 11ish when I wanted mine done. My mom did not like the idea (she does not have pierced ears or anything, for that matter) and it was actually my aunt that sided with me, and after a tae kwon do promotion test, my mom agreed and she and my aunt took me. I don't agree with piercing babies' ears. Alright, it's not totally permanent, and holes do close up, but I don't see the point. That's one thing I would never even consider with A, but come the time when she's older, if she asks and actually wants, I don't think I would disagree!

I got my daughter's ears pierced when she was 18 months - they healed up great because she was pretty unaware of them and didn't play with them. |

I got my daughter's ears pierced when she was 18 months - they healed up great because she was pretty unaware of them and didn't play with them. I myself have always felt it should be a persons own choice. I know there are many parents that get thier infant daughters ears pierced heck I have even seen parents of infant sons piercing thier ear , I personally chose to let my own decide for themselves. Apparently my granddaughter prefers not to have them and now that she is old enough to object she is. I voiced my opinion to her mother who chose to be a part of the piercing and I respected that then .I'm not so sure we as parents should be making these kinds of decisions for our children before they are old enough to choose for themselves. |

Question
Wow... 2 1/2 years old, with earrings? For being young, I sure feel behind
the times. Well, I have 2 sons, so I can't really offer any advice. But my 6 year old son is definitely *not* getting an earring any time soon. Mike "'Kate" wrote in message ...
