Mothers that should be shot

[Lissa]

Kinda off topic, At a BBQ on the weekend and yeah 22month old with earings?? child abuse or just cute? she looked cute as a button , but the earings just looked outta place to me. anyone else?



Lissa and 007XX,, 2 mums that should be praised for having their heads screwed on and doing the best they can ...and definately not shot

Earrings.... Chemists will only pierce 6 year olds and over, at an age that they will understand the pain and having to sit still I think. But I have noticed that some indian children have them done, obviously for cultural reasons?

Thanks!

[007XX]

Amen to that!

Hmm... camo pants ...

I guess you were around yesterday then?

Oh and yeah I blame the advertising, movies, music vids and such theyve just gone to far, for girls who dont know what sexy is trying to be sexy, like lissa said just lean them in the right direction I supose. Man Im never breeding to much hard work.

Cheers mate...one day at the time, and I never know whether I'm doing right or wrong, but I'm always trying to work hard at being a good parent.

Re: earrings. My grandma "borrowed" me for the afternoon one day, and got my ears pierced...I was 4 I think.
My mom went completely spastic at her, as she hadn't checked with her first.
Me, I just thought that was a big deal about bugger all, as I ended up taking the earrings out within 2 days anyway

Which brings me to my point: my grandma wanted me to have the earrings, to make me more girly...Me, I couldn't give a rat's bottom about them: it hurt and it was getting caught in my (then) long hair.

Important question in my mind:How often parents dolly up their kids for their own gratification?

...my daughter-now 13- is very girly girly (I think she got swapped at the hospital with my one).
When she was 2 she sat on my knee at the local hairdressers and said she wanted her ears pierced like me ( I have several in each ear),so I asked her if she was really sure and she said yes....so my hairdresser who also pierced ears let her pick her earrings and did them right then and there. She has had no problems at all with them and she has never looked back. Although she was definately too young to make the decision herself-I could see no reason not to get it done.
She is now taller than me and a competitive swimmer with an atheletes body. When she dresses up to go out she easily looks 17 and I have to give all the grubby young men who stare at her `the evils'. She does not dress `tarty' but has a nice shape for a young lady .

I never want to have to raise a girl.............
I used to be such a man slut and i dont want a daughter of mine meeting a guy like me

There's a store at the mall in Lower Hutt called "Valleygirl".

Most apt name ever.

I don't know, i actually think CuriousAJ's "slutty-slut-muffin" is pretty good....do you think that would work?

Hey, don't blame the blokes for following natural instincts. If your daughter struts around in tight clothes looking like a well-formed cutie of legal breedin' age, the young fullas are gonna stare.

I mean, seriously. What's 'grubby' about that?

To be honest, I think that parents who go on about such things being 'grubby' run the risk of doing harm and creating screwed-up, repressed kids.

I suppose one must try to strike a balance between that, and allowing our daughters to turn into precocious little whores and our sons into misogynistic animals.

Really, like owner said, it's all too hard. Best to just give up on it entirely, I reckon, and leave the breeding to the lower classes, who don't seem to bother their heads with such niceties and just get on with spitting the sprogs out while the hand-wringing white bourgeoisie sterilise themselves out of existence.

Don't hold back there hun.

Funny that both Owner and I (some would say thank God for me) don't want to breed but that we have what some would say quite a conservative approach towards what is acceptable for young girls. A lot of the problem I see in the UK is what some would deem as the wrong people breeding. The sort of people that don't care if their young daughter goes out underage drinking looking like the local whore and don't think or give a damn about what might happen to her when she is out.

I agree with what you have said about the circular problem of some girls dressing 'tarty' which encourages misogyny (can't spell) and so forth.

I think that as a parent the best you can do is try to instill good morals and a health understanding and respect of what relationships entail and hope that your children have their heads screwed on the right way. The fact that some parents care 007XX and Lissa is a good sign for some of our future generations.

I was not allowed until I was 13. Mu mum had had hers done and whilst at school her ear got ripped when someone caught her earing. She didn;t want this to happen to me hence the ban until I was 13. I am really pleased that she did as being a tomboy I was always hooning around with the lads and no doubt would have caught an earing at some point.

I think it is insane that you can get in trouble in NZ for clipping your kids around the ear but can let a 22month old have its ears pierced. I personally think it is some form of abuse as a chld that age has no cognitive perception of what having its ears pierced entails, but that is just my opinion. If parents want to let their kids get their ears pierced at such a young age, each to thier own.

In the UK if a anyone gets tattooed under the legal without parental consent the tattooist gets done for assault!! Breaking 2 layers of epithelials is all it takes!

We hardly ever watch TV - we have one but only to watch movies. It's too easy to leave kids in front of it, getting brainwashed by the crap that adults tell children they need.

Have kids (only 2.5) , but Kill Your TV. It works just as well
