So my 6 year old daughter just informed me she wants her ears pierced. Not that I'm against it, but I'd rather have her wait until she's at least 11 or 12. What is your take on the matter, and why?
Im pretty sure as her father, you're allowed to tell her what to do if she's only six.
Kids have it easy these days. My parents had the tip of my dick cut off shortly after birth. Is it any wonder I'm an irritable bastard?I made mine wait til she was 10. Oh, she wanted them soooo bad from the age of 8 til 10. So her tenth b-day rolls around, we go get holes in her head, 4 months later she can't stand having earrings in and hasn't worn any since. One of the things that bugs me is parents piercing their babies ears before the baby has any say in the matter, totally uncalled for imho.
I'm fully aware of that, but when she looks at you all crying and stuff, sometimes it's hard to say no.Im pretty sure as her father, you're allowed to tell her what to do if she's only six.
If Caroline decides to do it on her own, I'm pretty sure the bruising will be the bad part.my little girl got hers pierced when she turned one. i figure they will do it eventually so why not do it on your time schedule and have it done by a professional, unlike my wife whose parents wouldnt let her do it so she did it herself and not only are the piercings not even, but she got an infection.
to each their own i guess, but it really isnt as barbaric as you may think. they use a really tiny needle and she didnt even cryI made mine wait til she was 10.

Let's face it... it can't be any more traumatic to an infant than getting the "tip of <their> dick cut off shortly after birth" as silver so eloquently stated...I've been wondering what age girls get their ears pieced since I saw this picture (Shrymp's shrimp?) in the "Little Monkeys" thread. Not judging, I was just amazed that you can get it done that young:
True, but do they have the benefit of making her ears look bigger?Let's face it... it can't be any more traumatic to an infant than getting the "tip of <their> dick cut off shortly after birth" as silver so eloquently stated...
Syd's been on a lip gloss bandwagon as well...where do they get these things from?Caroline won't be getting any for some time to come. I can't imagine doing it as a baby. As far as I know, at 3 she hasn't even talked about it. Lip gloss on the other hand.
Caroline gets it from her whacky mother. Please tell me Syd minds better than Caroline.Syd's been on a lip gloss bandwagon as well...where do they get these things from?
Ah, yes, my mistake. I got into my head she was eight. Don't worry Burly, probably too many big words for you anyway.
I didn't read the rest of the post.
She hasn't asked for clear heels, has she?<snip> Lip gloss on the other hand.
As the father to a 19 month old girl, let me be the first father here to say "fvck you azzhole"This thread will a quaint memory when she comes home with 'Place Beer Here' tattoo'd across her lower back.
*father of 2 boys
Ahhhhhhhhhhahahaha.As the father to a 19 month old girl, let me be the first father here to say "fvck you azzhole"
I can't honestly say it had even occurred to me until I saw this thread. Frankly, just becasue of Dan-o, (i keed, i keed) shes gonna get locked in the crawl space till shes 18 then she can get a job and do whatever the hell she wants.
Your son could get that same tattoo.This thread will a quaint memory when she comes home with 'Place Beer Here' tattoo'd across her lower back.

LOL! Syd has her stubborn moments (she gets those from me for sure) and her "I'm too focused to notice that the world around me is crumbling into ???" moments (she gets those from Sq-Earl) but as a whole she does mind pretty well. We definitely give her lots of space though and choices (always one sided but she hasn't figured that out yet).Caroline gets it from her whacky mother. Please tell me Syd minds better than Caroline.
I wonder what Earl thinks.
*note - Julie is just a little crazy, so I'm not really sure that's where it comes from.
as long as you promise to NEVER EVER post a picture of this on hereIf I have a son, when should I allow him to get a Prince Albert?
