My daughter is now 5 months. Why I choose not to pierce her ears is because I want her to choose when she's older if she wants them done or not. My parents insist that she needs them done because everyone and their daughters get them done. I'm not everyone for one and I choose to wait. And also what irks my nerve is speaking about if I have a boy in the future that I do not want him to get circumcised, my reasons make valid points yet it's not what my parents minds work. I couldn't do cloth diapers because they thought it was a waste, now I am getting a lecture for wanting to go to all natural disposable diapers. Come on now, I'm 24. Let me raise my child as I please, advice from them is always welcomed but chancing the way I want to raise my daughter is disrespectful and kind of hurtful.
@helpedbytmh, I don't go around putting my two sense into a mother raising their child. You raise yours as you want, as long as your baby isn't in danger, then we should always be supportive of one another.
I'm getting my daughters ears pierced when she's 6 months, but you can make any choice you want for your daughter because she's yours and whoever has anything to say about the decisions you make for your child who came out of your body needs to mind their entire business lol
@seewmarie, plus it gives us as parents to let them be able to choose at a young age what they want. They deserve that much. We can't choose for them once they're capable of doing so.
You are so right about the ear piercing-it should be the child's choice when and if they want it. That's how I did it with my daughter and she actually thanked me!
amen!!! same with my daughter. its HER body. HER choice. 👍
