    @TexasGirl81 I like your daughter's earrings, she is cute!
    DH, who has 2 earring holes himself advocated to wait until DD makes the decision herself.
    I got mine done at age 10.
    I love the way it looks on baby girls, it brings out a sparkle to their eyes.

    If I have a girl next I probably won't because I don't feel like it.

    Unrelated to why I probably won't get a future daughter's ears pierced, but related to ear piecing:
    My mom pierced my ears when I was 3. She was a beautician and had a professional ear piercing gun. She got one ear done and then I spent a solid hour running away from her until she finally was able to get the other ear done. I think I was flailing or something, one of my lobe piercings is un-noticeably lower than the other. I only notice it because they're MY ears.

    I went through my own piercing phase later in life too, it just involved less running away from people. :P

    I'm personally glad my mom got mine pierced as a baby, I'd have never had the guts to do it as a bigger kid/grown up with my fear of pain.

    I actually was so keen on getting a second hole as a grown up but was too chickened out to do it.

    In our culture, Arabs, girls get their earrings in their first month to 2 months of life, doesn't matter what class you are, if not on the first day at the hospital. My baby got her's the second day at the hospital before our discharge and she didn't even cry, she didn't touch them so they healed in no time and taking care of them was so minimal. It was done by a nurse in the Ped. unit and our pediatrician recommended we do it soon he said every single day that you wait would inflict more pain as the area becomes more and more sensitive. She remained asleep during it I was in shock!

    I would have waited if my baby's earlobe wasn't fully developed or semi attached just sort of to get the piercing done in the right place in the first time but my baby's ear shape was so obvious and it was easy to determine where the piercing should go.

    It's a personal choice I think and no one should be labeled anything because they chose to get or not to get their kids' ears pierced

    I'm in 2 minds. 
    They look absolutely adorable but in the social circles back home, ear piercing on babies is frowned upon even though no-one would blink at it here.

    I waited with DD1 and she doesn't want her ears pierced so that worked out well and neither mine nor DH's family has any cultural leanings for or against so I'll wait for DD2 (and DD1 if she changes her mind) to ask since they can always get them later on.

    @anightattheopera‌ , "Rah Rah American culture white people" sounds just as jackassy as the shit you're bitching about, FYI

    Does it really? Those people exist. If you don't want accept that, that's fine. But fact of the matter is white people have a degree of privilege in this country that the rest of us are not afforded. And the people I'm referring to are the people that take advantage of that privilege and have no issue with it existing.

    So if that makes me a jackass than so be it.

    And calling it "bitching" when someone points out that someone else made a comment that is classist and borderline racist is part of the problem.


    Nope, never said those people don't exist. I was merely pointing out that comments like the one you made sound just like the posts you were complaining about. Racism definitely exists, but it's a two way street.

    My 3 year old just recently asked me to take her earrings out and not put them back in. I respect her body and her choice. It's made me rethink doing DD2's. Maybe I'll wait and they can go together in a few years.

    I too have a three year old so I know how that goes. What was her complaint?

    We came up with a new behavior chart for DD. She looked at us and goes, "what kind of behavior system is this??? You get things taken and earn them back? Doesn't make sense."

    Yea, she's always a step ahead of us.
