I might get my daughter's ears pierced, and you should not give a damn.
I'm finding that people have very strong opinions about things that do not matter one whit. If she doesn't want to wear earrings when she's older, guess what? She won't wear earrings. In fact, I don't wear earrings. I got my ears pierced when I was 12, but I really have no opinion about it. I could do with or without.
Also, did you know that in some countries, such as Columbia, they pierce all newborn girls' ears in the hospital unless you ask them not to?
This definitely falls into the category of, "Things that people make a big deal about that really do not matter." There is abuse happening. There is starvation happening. There is sexual abuse happening. Trafficking. Terminal illness. All of these are things that afflict children of the world and that you should care deeply about. Don't waste time worrying about whether my 2-year-old has pierced ears or not. It will literally have no effect on her future outcome as a human being.
Was searching for my GF’s blog and came across yours. Started reading and came to your recent post about piercing your daughter's ears soon. She will look totally adorable with little earrings. Don't worry about what others think and follow your heart and mommy intuition to do it now when mommy can care for them.
ReplyDeleteThe same opinionated moms who say you should wait will be the first to tell you how cute your daughter looks with pretty little earrings! Promise many moms will be envious of your decision and wish they had pierced their girls as infants too. Babies and little girls with little pierced ears celebrates their femininity and femaleness.
Our ped encouraged me doing it when mommy could care for them. Also, she gave me some info for moms having their dd’s ears pierced to find the right person and place to do it.
Would be happy to share by e-mail with any moms wanting more info or trying to decide ” to pierce or not to pierce.”
