Its mom turf. When you have a boy you can decide when to give him his first bow with metal tipped arrows.
This can be a bit different than a Dad that wants to introduce a boy to hunting, building, and sports skills. Piercing ears is closer to a vanity issue than one for developing skill... and if mom is using the child (especially an infant that is clueless) as a display of her own beauty, you can sometimes have some complicated mental sh#t brewing. Same if a dad becomes that overbearing sport parent trying to relive his glory days through jr.... Challenging a child to new skills and experiences (even bow/metal tip arrows) is always a positive approach if IT IS DONE FOR THE CHILD ITSELF to grow and flourish... and done with responsible supervision and instruction. Piercing an oblivious baby can raise slightly different concerns.

What’s your actual opinion on the matter?
I don't think it is a wise decision to get a baby (or toddler)'s ears pierced. Makes me think the parent is more concerned about appearances than their child's overall health.
Think they should just wait until the girl is old enough to help take care of the piercing. Also...you can have that be a moment/milestone she looks forward to.

Every mom tried to make her baby daughter as cute as she can this doesn't have to be some mental gymnastics excercise.

If you make a kid play t ball at 3 or 4 is that the same thing? That kid may have no idea what they're signing up for, but that doesn't mean the dad is trying to live through the kid that still pisses himself.
Seriously, why are you turning this into some sort of morality arguement or whatever? Maybe the mom just thinks it will make the baby cuter, IN HER OPINION.

She claims a child takes care of ears better than a mother

Although I think the baby will be fine I agree. It sounds like the mother wants to play dress up with the baby. And I agree about the milestone, when we took our daughter to get her ears pierced she was extremely excited and was a memorable thing for her.

Don't have to, she agrees with with.

Par for the course around here, my man. Every now and then they come out with a whopper, like this thread.
It starts with an innocent question about getting a baby girl's ear pierced, and next thing you know the parents are pieces of shite trash that are abusing their baby girl while being self absorbed in the process.
And it's like one yenta feeds off the other, down the line. It gets increasingly ridiculous.

Agreed.
However. I agree with her opinion.
My opinion is I think it ls trashy for little girls under the age of 13 to be walking around with pierced ears. Nothing medical about it

Wife took her at around 6 months

This can't be serious, right? I can understand wanting to let the kid decide or waiting to let them have the responsibility of it, but this is rediculous. Maybe the mom just think the baby "looks cuter" or whatever with her ears pierced. This is just not a big deal either way.
Many times, probably even most, it is no big deal. If you read my first comment you may get what I meant. That's why it's best to know mom's true intentions. I've raised four of my own and been involved with children recovering from dysfunctional parenting for three decades on the peripheral ... when you've read thousands of clinical studies you may be be surprised where dynamics of dysfunction can actually begin. Personally, I just don't see doing anything that requires puncturing a child's body if the goal is as shallow as a personal display which others may tell the mother the child is cute. This is clearly nothing for the child or that it can learn from at the moment. If you want to invest time and money into a child, give him/her your time.. engage him/her with concentrated, focused attention, and teach or challenge them with something that they can use, enjoy, and develop skill or enlightenment with...

In principle, I agree with you that it should be the decision of the child when they are old enough to make that decision.
The fact of it is, that is a battle that you will lose every time, so go ahead and let your wife do what she wants.
