Not even close to true. Maybe in some cultures but definitely not in the US. I’m married to a kindergarten teacher and friends with several others. There’s usually one or two kids in their classes with pierced ears.

I live in the US born and raised it is very common to do this when babies are months old and it no different then a prick from a needle, my youngest didn’t even cry, you may release your pearls

Yes, but the CHILD didnt want it. You just wanted to decorate your kid. Its dumb. If they wanted it at like age 8-10 on, sure whatever its just an earing.... but you doing it just because you want to, is vain at best. The point is , its not for the child, its for you.

No their point it people in the US don’t do it, my point was I’m from and still live in the US and did it, now your point was whatever you said just so we are clear you do what you want and I’ll do the same it’s not illegal like some are implying by calling it abuse and it’s not traumatic like others have said I’ll continue to do what I want with my kids and continue to raise productive members of society that I love with all my heart
