Okay, well in both cases she'd be having something forced upon her when later in life she might decide it just isn't for her - which isn't really fair(imo). But my opinion aside it's each to their own, and as someone rightly said, personal preference.
My mom didn't allow us to pierce our ears until we could legally do it without her permission (ie 18). I disagree with that, too, because she still took away our choice, but I dint think it's unreasonable to wait until a child is ten or older to make that sort of decision and have that responsibility. My husband and I have agreed that if our daughter wants her ears pierced at twelve or older, we'll take her to get it done. Same thing with if we have sons, although my hubby is mute hesitant about that. But I don't think it's fair to have two completely separate rules based solely on gender.
I never heard of anygirl who had their ears pierced and didn't like it. Wishing that her parents never pierced them :|
Alaina_is_coming... My brother and my nieces mother got my nieces ears pierced when she was 6 months old. She took them out herself when she was 3 because she hated them, she's now 14 and still hates them.
Its not that serious! Geez. If she grows up not liking them , she does have a choice to take them out! I had mine pierced at 3 months, i didnt really like them once i got older and took them out. Its not like im pissed at my mom for it? I bet they looked cute when i was a baby
Listen, if you want to pierce your little girl ears then go ahead. She will not hate you for it later on in life. As a mother you arent forcing anything upon her! Its more to religion than pierced ears!!! Im upset that it was even brought up when most moms is having babies out of wedlock now speak religion on that.
