What age to let daughters get her ears pierced?

My wife and I have been going back and forth on this for awhile now. My wife wants to get our 1 year old daughters ears pierced and I’m really against it. I want to let my daughter decide if she wants to or not one day, when she’s older. Just seems wrong to me to choose something like that for her at this age. Is this a hill worth dying on or no?

I felt the same. I wanted her to ask. Mine just got hers pierced about a month ago at 10.

When they’re old enough to take care of them themselves.

We let our daughter decide. She did it when she was 5. Got infected and doesn’t have them anymore.

Personally, i believe it should be their choice. We also think it is a great thing to teach personal responsibility.

Your wife should have last word on all decisions about your daughter. Unless you want to bring her to OBGYN when she's ready to have sex.

I got mine when I was like 5-6. One ear got infected and swelled up and closed around the earring. Had to go to a doctor to have earring removed. Both earrings taken out and piercings closed up.
Got them pierced again when I was like 11-12 and could properly take care of them. I can remember being really excited about getting them pierced the second time.

I personally do not like to see babies with ears pierced. Trashy to me.
14-16 years old minimum.

Piercing babies' ears is so incredibly dumb. This word gets thrown around on the Ot a lot but it's trashy AF.

No. It's not like they can't be taken out in about 15 seconds.

Old enough to decide, that way taking her can be a special thing. 4 or 5 maybe.

Just get it over with now. Are you gonna wait until your son is of age to let him decide if he wants to chop the hood of his dick off? Of course not.

I think they were around 16. It was their decision when they wanted to do it. I think 1 year old is a bit too young though.
Eta: Wife says they were 13, not 16. Heck, what do I know?

I will let my daughter decide when she's old enough if she wants to poke holes in her ears that will grow in if she changes her mind.
I also had my sons circumcised before we left the hospital.

Most pierce their daughters ears fairly young. I know my sister did it to my 2 nieces at a fairly young age, although I don't think it was at 1. I think it was closer to 5 or 6 or so. I may be wrong on the age, but I know it was fairly young.
That said, if your wife wants to do it at that age, I say let her. There are bigger battles you'll need to stand your ground for, I'm not sure ear piercing at a young age is one if those. Plus, it's her "little angel girl", and she'll be able to dress her up and put earrings on her, which will make your wife happy because women enjoy doing things like that.
I say just let her do it. Your battles will be fought when your daughter becomes a teenager and starts to become interested in boys. Good luck.
