Quite possibly the tackiest thing I've seen in a while

DLD102 · July 2010

A five-year-old boy with a (faux) diamond stud in his left ear. At least, I'm hoping it's a fake diamond, because that would be even gaudier (and a waste of money) if it was real.....

Who does that to their child?? Blech...

Mrs.Johns · July 2010

Wow- super tacky. Vom.

I once saw an 8 month old baby with gel in his hair on the T! His hair was all slicked down. Ew.

LCB34 · July 2010

Yuck. That is super tacky to me.

Righr?!? Is it just public transportation that brings out all the tacky, over the top dressers, or do you think we notice them more because there are more people??

RileyGrace · July 2010

So stupid!

I feel bad when I see some kids with their tacky parents and you can totally tell that they have no chance but to be socially awkward.

And, like, "Why would you do that to your son?" Is he going to be Eminem's replacement in five years?

I really have no clue. My MIL puts fake flowers in her yard (like sticks them into the dirt)... I really think they are just everywhere.

I know, right?! Poor kid...like he actually had a choice for this stupid thing in his ear...

Are you kidding?? I think that your MIL just beat out the kid with the studded left ear.

Hey Lady! I've been coming over early, I can't stand 1st tri and I know way more people over here. Good to see you!

I know a woman who has a son who is now around 13 years old. He currently has 2 very large diamond earrings, one in each ear. Up until about 2 years ago, in addition to an earring, he had about an 8 inch long tail in his hair. Nice. She (and the boy) think they are "all that" because she has a brother who at one time was a popular college basketball player in this area, and he now plays basketball professionally in Europe. So they are cooler than cool (in their minds!).

I just find them both tacky.

We're sticking around because we don't want to move to 3rd Tri where mucus plugs, birth stories, and hospital bags rule the posts....

Happy to have you!!

She bought LO a pink Harley Davidson outfit. I just hope there are no studs. Indifferent I am hoping after the shower drama that she is mad at us and returns it. lol.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! And what's this about shower drama? What did she do now? I think I must have missed something.

Did he have his baseball hat on backwards with fake arm tattoos?

Something about fake tattoos really rub me the wrong way....

LOL! That's awful! I think I'd pick a fight to force her to take it back!

I'm not sure if she's crazy or brilliant. Flowers that never have to be taken care of in your yard -- sounds like my kind of flower.

Well, considering they are sticking out of the grass and not arranged, I'll go with crazy.

H's b-day is next week so I'm sure the drama will pick back up at some point, then. Or, she'll try to win mother of the year by actually making an effort to see him on his b-day and proceed to kiss his ass for another angle on the shower. All fun and games!

BTW- sorry to hijack your thread.

So I should probably cancel my ear piercing appointment at Claire's for Spencer?

I'm sure they can do it at the hospital right after the circumcision. Indifferent

OMG, no worries at.all. Your BSC MIL makes me laugh...sorry to hear you have one, but she's entertaining, at least, right?

I'd say a third of the male population, in the school I taught at, had their ears pierced. This was k-6 by the way.

Why is it sad? Because they're boys or because they're young?

I don't understand why it's so horrible if boys get their ear(s) pierced.

Becuase they're so young...they obviously don't have the wherewithall yet to make a rational decision, so all of their decision-making is based upon what they see and what they think is cool. And obviously, the parents have a lot to do with that. IMO, that is sad.

Yes if they're still in lower school (K-5). Tacky, in my opinion, but not as sad as if they're boys. Double standard? Sure...but it's just my opinion.

I don't know, my girlfriend pierced her daughter's ears before she was 1 and it's kind of cute. I don't think I would do it, but I don't think it's tacky or trashy or anything.

Ok. But you realize that in 5th grade, most kids are 10-11 years old, right? They should be able to choose at the point whether or not to get their ears pierced.
