Ok here's the deal...my son just got home and told me that he wants to pierce his ears
Both ears!!!


I know I'm liberal and all, blablabla....but not BOTH ears! one that's fine with me but 2

He says I'm being old fashion I am not!


Opnions please....

btw I'm gonna send him this link so help me

Hmm, I dunno what to say.. My Grandad pierced my ears without my Mums consent, so I guess he will just get them done anyway..




think Beckham...


.. or maybe not..

how old is your son??

first how old is he?

Becham is a whimp he married Victoria didn't he?

Hey honey! What kind of earings is he going to get first? That is the difference between him looking crazy or good? The bones, big metal grumots or just hoops/studs? If he is getting normal earings let him. I would just use your judgement on the other stuff. Smooches!

16 almost 17

It's very common for guys to pierce both ears these days. What's wrong with both? You'll let him do one why not both? Just curious...

AndGodCreatedMe said:

One ear is okay but BOTH isnt ?

to me that seems strange

and in the end, they are HIS ears, his choice

and he came to you to ask 1st ... if he truely wants them done ...even if you say NO... he will have them done when he wants to badly enough

again ...one ear is okay ? but both isnt ?

why ?




still cant spell ...

You should let him do what he wants. That's sorta old. He's almost old enough to make that decision for himself. I say if he wants to, let him. It's probably a fashion thing...and personally I think looks better than one.

What would Prince do?

superspaceboy said:

I know I would say that to every other person when they would ask me this q..but it's different when it's you own son...I dunno maybe I'm overreacting

If he really wants it I would let him do it.

AndGodCreatedMe said:

He married her, but fucked everyone else..

if he is over 16 I'd say go ahead, its fashion and if he changes his mind he takes them out

just make sure he looks after the piercings till they heal

I think pierced ears look cute on young guys

Mach said:

He didn't ask me...he just anounced it

support me will u! He's gonna read this

AndGodCreatedMe said:

BUT MOM!

AndGodCreatedMe said:

But if he really wants it, he is gonna just get them done and there is not much you can do about it.. be happy he could feel he could tell you beforehand.. It is not the end of the world.. just two small holes in each ear..

superspaceboy said:

he's old enough

tough one, we know that the 'world' looks and judges folks for different reasons, and as a parent you would try to protect and guide your baby into the easiest way of life... is this a spur of the moment thing ??? or has he been talking to you for a while about this ??

i say, roll the dice

unless you just cant stand the idea, then, go for it maybe after having one done, and he realizes the pain involved, he'll see that one is just enough

good luck momma

AndGodCreatedMe said:

you asked for advice... i cant just agree to your side.... when i dont agree okay he announced it ... tomorrow he may just come home and show you HIS ear piercings




hardest part of raising kids...is the letting go ~smiles~

I searched for help and yall letting me down


Now what if it was your son huh??

Mach said:

Now that's good advice!

nakedpianoplayer said:

Thx naked and I did tell him that it hurts
I don't think he will do anytime soon...I was just in shock after he told me, I'm fine now

AndGodCreatedMe said:

But it DOESN'T hurt...

AndGodCreatedMe said:

actually, my son wants his done too

and i have told him he has to wait a few more years before he can do that... HOWEVER, my baby is still just 10 years old, i want him to be old enough to make the choice and understand what happens with it. btw, totally unrelated, my daughter is 7, hers still are not done .. i think 12 would be a good age for a girl... maybe 13

Mach said:

I know, thx Mach

Oh what the heck...tsssss let him pierce the damn ears

AndGodCreatedMe said:

I'd be really happy that that was ALL he wanted pierced.
