I'm afraid I tend to agree with the OP. I don't know if banning it is maybe taking it a bit too far, but:

Saying it is not painful is not true. Your ability to feel pain is just as well-developed when you're a baby as when you're a grown up. People say babies don't feel circumcision, but I saw a videoclip at a midwifery symposium once and that baby screamed his little lungs out.

Secondly, well, I kind of agree that babies look stupid with earrings.

My mom took me and my sister for earrings when we turned seven. It was a right-of-passage kind of thing, for when we got to go to the 'big school'. We were told about the pain, and the whole keeping-it-clean process, and given the choice if we wanted it. My sister waited till she was eight, but I got mine immediately.

It hurt like hell. For a few days.

But its a tradition I would like to continue with my children one day. I don't think there should be a law against it, but yes, I guess you can see it as a form of child abuse if you take it to the extreme. Babies don't understand the why of it yet, any more than they would understand if you burn them with a cigarette. They don't get tol think 'it hurts, but I'll get to wear pretty earrings and look cute when the pain ends.' They just experience overwhelming pain burning through their little bodies...

So no. I won't do that to a daughter of mine. Kids are kids, not mini-sized grown-ups.

 

yes you are and child welfare should take your kid out of a bad home,,,,,,,

 

caligirl you are willing to subject your kid to the ways of a delusional madman so we already know that you are a bad parent
and add to that that you did pierce their ears and refuse to properly discipline them tell us that you are a continuation of the same common problem the world faces
and the fact that as of yet you have found no reason to question ballers intents and motivations is baffeling
he is an angry little troll that believes that everyone is out to get him and is violent by nature
but you are willing to give him the chance to warp a childs mind????????????
he must have already your child like mind


your cunt is doing the thinking for your brain you dumb cunt,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

How is she a bad mom ? If my daughter don't want them at 18 then she can Damn well take them out. But till then I am her legal guardian and so i make the choices for her...... I think maybe if more parents took that same thought then all these school shootings wouldn't be happening

 

ALSO

Cali nor I ever said it don't hurt. I said it was less painful...hell my daughter didn't cry till it was over

 

I have a 10 month old adopted son. No, his ears are not pierced.

 

What she said

+10

 

Shooter tries, he really does, to understand piercing in the first place. By anyone, anytime, anyplace.

Why?

Same with tattoos.

Same with most plastic surgery

We are all of us clumsy oafs who dare to mess with nature's art.

Only bad can come of it.

But actually banning it, you know, with a law?

Fuck that. Gummit already has too much to say about my life.

 

Most people consider child abuse to be a fairly serious cause.

 

I don't consider ear piercing child abuse......
If I had a daughter, would I get her ears pierced as an infant? No, but having it done, in my opinion, is not even remotely in the realm of child abuse.

I have two boys (both circumcised). Did I for a second consider the procedure abuse? The answer is a big NO!

There are many children who are unfortunately truly abused. It is a serious cause/ crime, but equating ear piercings and circumcisions to child abuse is ludicrous!

 

Inflicting pain and physical damage on a helpless child, for no reason other than to fulfil your own gratifications.


How do you define child abuse?

 

My daughter cried after the second one for about three minutes then she was the happiest baby

 

Thanks really nice you of, to give him a chance of having that love in his life, do you know how many kids that don't get adopted?

 

I define child abuse as child abuse.

 

I'm sure you feel differently about kids being baptized? What if you baptized your child? You are not giving then the right to choose what religion they want, you are doing it for them when they are babies. Don't they have a say in any of it? Don't you think they should wait till they understand what being baptized means? What if they want a different religion?

 

I am against them, because they look idiotic on a toddler, it reminds me of my sisters playing dress up with their dolls, or is it a fashion statement by the parents, if so go play dress up with your dolls as you should not openly subject your child to two wounds that could lead to a myriad of infections. If you are willing to pierce their ears where will you stop, belly button, lip, tongue, eyebrow.

 

I think a better comparison would be circumcision. With both circumcision and religion, you have to make a decision before the child is old enough to understand and choose for him/herself. That can't be easy.

This is why boys are better

 

I don't want boys, so sorry


It's not easy.

 

I don't think that it's something that needs to be government regulated. Parents should be able to make that choice.
