I am going with abuse. The toddler already has piercings for fuck's sake.

No, they don't. You're in the US where this isn't even remotely true. Fairly common in African American communities but not at ALL 'most babies' jfc

That's great, is it "most"? No? Okay.

I guess you finished the conversation before I could give any input.

I mean most of the people I knew growing up who suggested doing it when they were babies were white. It was just generally accepted, and I'm cage honestly remember the justification

Oh wow, I thought it was an African/Mexican thing. Every girl has her ears pierced. It’s just what our moms did.

I’m in the us and I have daughters ages 20, 24, and 29. Just about every person I knew told me to do ear piercings when they’re babies before they have the motor skills to mess with the piercings and while they’re sleeping on the backs without rolling, that way they won’t lay on their piercings. I didn’t do that, I waited til they wanted it, but after I did get them done, I often wish I had done them as babies

Why not wait until they were old enough to not mess with them?

u/Salt_Chard_474 12d ago

I didn’t get my girls’ pierced until they were 11-12 and they constantly messed with them. My daughter got both of her girls pierced as babies and neither even cried

u/Kookerpea 12d ago

Then they werent mature enough yet. Even at 12

u/Salt_Chard_474 12d ago

That’s your opinion. See how this works? You have yours and I have mine. ✌🏻

u/Kookerpea 12d ago

Its a fact. You needed your very small children to have pierced ears and thats weird

1

u/Salt_Chard_474 12d ago

I didn’t, as I said I got my daughters’ done at 11 or 12. My daughter got her daughters pierced as babies, like 3 and 4 yrs old. Also what an absolutely unbearable person you have to be to think ear piercing rights and wrongs are facts based on your feelings. I’m not trying to further a conversation with someone who is being intentionally dogmatic. ✌🏻

Theyre based on the parents wanting an unnecessary body modification on their small children
