I've pretty much decided that for Xmas, DD will get a pair of nice earrings
and gift certificate for pierced ears.

My daughter got her ears pierced not long ago. I waited until she asked to
go and was ready to walk into the store and ask for them to do it. She was
11 years old. I took her and some friends to the mall and she had it done.
It did hurt a little and she had to put in the ear anticeptic on it for a
little while afterwords which she did herself. If she had wanted to do it
when she was younger I'd have let her.

My brother and his wife had their daughters ears pierced when they were
babies but I wouldn't do that. I waited until my daughter wanted to get it
herself. Depending on the kid, I think 9 is OK.

at what age would you/ did you let your daughter get her ears pierce.

DD is just nine and has been campaigning for a year for them.

I got mine done when I was 18 and could it with out a parents signature.
My
Dad thought only "bad girls" had pierced ears (this was 30 years ago).

Wow _doug- Now you're Sarah and you have a six year old daughter?
you certainly change a lot, I mean on the other site you're a macho
kind of guy and here you are female and have kids?
Nothing personal or anything- Doug - but are you a frustrated actor?

Surely an "incorrect fact" is an oxymoron.

Look at it this way though, sure to put the next generation off
tattoos.

But we're not missing it, Sheena! Remember the picture of the
tattooed grandma I sent you? That was one ugly sight!

I chose to have my ears pierced at age 12, but haven't been able to
wear any kind of earrings since about age 26; seems something about my
body chemistry changed and I develop an allergic reaction to any
earrings I try to wear, be they 24K gold, surgical steel or anything
else. I gave up trying years ago; I'm 52 now, and the holes are still
there.

You remind me of my new daughter-in-law. Ayako is allergic to most
metals. Their wedding rings are platinum, but even then she will break
out in a rash. It gets a bit expensive buying jewelry for her..... but
she is worth it! I am glad that DD and DGD and I can all wear the cheapo
stuff.

What's really strange is that I can wear metal anywhere else *but* in my
ear piercings; my wedding and engagement rings have never caused any
problems, nor has any necklace, bracelet, clip-on earrings, watch, etc.,
but if I put in pierced earrings, within an hour, my earlobes swell up,
become hot and sore, start to ooze (sorry for the mental image) and it
becomes extremely difficult to remove the earrings.

I've never tried platinum and given the price of it, fortunately don't
have a strong enough hankering for earrings to feel the need, lol.

Like your DD and DG, my mom could always wear the cheap stuff too; she
liked to have earrings to match every outfit so would buy cheap, cute
earrings by the dozens of pairs and never had any problems.

If you find the truth offensive and insulting that's a problem you
have to deal with. Over the years, there have been uncountable
unpleasant threads because you have misunderstood what was posted yet
insist you understand and you tell the poster s/he was wrong in the
meaning of what was written. You insist that you understand the English
language completely and will never admit that you might not have
understood exactly what the other person meant. Those of us who speak
the language from birth don't have a complete grasp of all the nuances
of what another person might be saying! It is ludicrous that you
adamantly insist you have a complete grasp of the English language. If
you occasionally admitted that you didn't understand something, it might
not be so irritating.
As I have said before, discussing needlework with you is about the
only thing that won't cause a problem. Everything else seems to end up
in some sort of antagonistic "verbal" brou-ha-ha due to language
differences! CiaoMeow ^;;^
