Is it normal to hate when a parent pierces their baby's ears?
I wouldn't exactly label it child abuse, but I see it as painful and unnecessary. Its vanity on the parent's part, like they're decorating their child by sticking shiny metal pins in their ears. I always hear "oh it's okay, they're so young that they won't remember it when they're older"- so what, you could probably smack them around and they wouldn't remember that either, but that wouldn't make it right. Does anyone else feel this way?
