Advice with Teenage Daughters & Piercings

"NO!!!" **slams door**

**trying not to grin** The next time you slam a door on me young lady, I will remove the hinges AND the door (I can't wait to use this on my son - and I will take the door off...)

Or my new strategy, if you tell us what you were doing there, Knot will share one of her secrets Bwaaaa

One time I did this to SilverDaughter...she was grounded to her room, no phone, no Computer, NO DOOR. Taking the door off the hinges was the best punishment I could do!

I'm taking SilverDaughter for her new piercing tonight

well here is my story. My parents wouldn't let me get my ears peirced till I was 18 so one summer in the Bahamas I got my cartilage pierced at age 15 (you don't need consent there) I got my Belly peirced at 18 and I got a tattoo. I regreted the tat soon after getting it, and took the peircing out a year later. Now 5 years later the belly piercing still hasn't scarred or closed up. I can still put things through it, allthough I've only tried once recently. I know this all doesn't have a point but for some reason I just had to post.

Oh yeah--I am so going to remember this one. My eight-year-old son already has a teenager's attitude. Any chance it will wear off instead of getting worse?

I can't lie...probably not...but a door off the hinges could help.

I prefer copious hugs, even if they stand stiff in your arms, and frequent trips together for ice cream during which you shut your mouth and listen for as long as it takes.

The grades thing works fine so long as deep down you are OK with the piercing.

I wanted my ears pierced and my Mum said I could get it done when I passed 'School C' (short for school certificate - an exam we used to sit when we were 15 or 16). I got good grades (in 6 subjects although that will ony mean anything to Kiwis) and duly got my ears pierced.

My little sister then wanted her ears done but was told 'the house rule is you can get your ears pierced when you pass School C'

all well and good - until my brother passed his School C - came home and said 'I want my ear pierced' - to give Mum and Dad credit they let him do it.
