Well he is not back on so I am thinking.....

There is probably a "discussion" taking place!

Poor OFA!

My 12 year old just confided in me that she pierced a 2 nd hole in one of her ears
She did it herself with a needle and put an earring in it
I made her clean it up with peroxide and put a gold earring in it
Her mother was dead set against her having a second piercing
@SheepGirl thus is what I was telling you about
I didn't tell her mom when she dropped an F Bomb a while back
That paid off she hasn't done it again

Daddy's girl.

My thoughts are the more you protest and try to stop them from growing up and gaining "self" and independence, the more troubles you'll encounter down the road. Having multiple ear piercings is not in the same caliber as nose, cheek, lip, tongue, eye brows, nipples (yes, I have a daughter) and other places I'll just not mention... At least she let you know so you could look out for her welfare and health. You just have to protect them as best you can, even if that's sometimes from their own mistakes/undertakings... Hope Mom doesn't go too ballistic... on either of you.

I can't even imagine doing my own ears. She must have really really wanted this extra piercing. I have pierced ears but hadn't worn earrings on a regular basis for years and one of the holes closed in. I really wanted to wear earrings so I froze my ear and stuck a sterilized needle through the hole. OUCH!!!!

I wear earrings all the time now, don't want to do that again.

Setting boundaries and expecting your child to obey them is not stopping them from growing up and honestly I have seen just the opposite of what you are saying. Every kid at 12 thinks they are grown up but that is why we are the parents we know they are not grown up or mature enough to make many decisions they think they are capable of. For many 12 is the age when things can go very downhill.

In OFA's case this is actually a little more funny IMO because we have met his daughter and the fam. Good people, good kid.
Rachel is a darling & a hoot- that is a daddy's girl!

I've taught 6th grade. I know a lot about 12 year old kids! Lol, I actually loved that age. Haven't parented one yet but I've seen what happens with various styles.

I think it's funny when good kids do things like this. Maybe not so funny for OFA haha
