Re: Earrings on small children
[ QUOTE ]
This is done purely for the benefit of the parent, not the kid. Even if the kid wants it, it's because the parent put the idea in them or allowed it to flourish.
I'd feel bad too. For the kid, being turned into your wife's barbie doll, first. And for you, because your wife went behind your back. There's nothing healthy or respectful about that in a relationship, especially as pertains to the most important thing between you, which is not even your love, but your child. That above all things should be off limits for screwy stuff, and should be aground for agreed upon things, not trickery.
You're owed an apology, and your kid is owed the right to grow up without having to be a fashion model or a conformist.

Ha! My rage is justified!
I can now go to bed, remain angry, and feel not a shred of guilt. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
(In the interest of fairness - my wife is GREAT. This was so atypical of her. Maybe she was drunk.)
