Why are you allowing a seven year old child come between you? The real problem isn't the ears or the piercing, it's the fact that you're asking people to weigh in against your husband. Please consider what you are doing as destructive to your marriage, even if it doesn't seem so.
Your daughter is seven, she doesn't need to have pierced ears. What she needs is two parents on a united front. The rule in my house is this: if one wants and the other doesn't-the one that "wants" states their case intelligently. The one that "doesn't" has to listen with an open mind. If the person that doesn't still doesn't, the doesn't wins.
Over the long term, this proves to be the better way to deal with issues.
Good luck.

My daughter just turned 9 and she wants her ears pierced, but everytime we go to get it done, she backs out for fear of the pain. Her father and I both agree that if she felt she was ready, we would let her. She told me she wishes I would have done it when she was a baby...and looking back, perhaps I should have. However, my mother wouldn't let me do it until I was 13, and I just didn't want to make that decision for her. I think your daughter should be allowed to have it done! Especially if you think she's old enough to take care of them for those first couple of critical weeks.

I think its fine.....ears can be pierced anytime after a child is 6 weeks old and has their 6 weeks shots. I use to pierce ears at my last job. Just watch the person doing it and make sure everything is new and sterilized.

Seven is an excellent age to get your ears pierced. Daddy's always want to hold their daughters back from being grown up. You will have this same argument with makeup. Just talk with him away from her. Keep a talking. If It will cause major trouble in your relationship then wait another year and try again. His and your happiness is important.

honestly i have never seen anything wrong with girls getting their ears pierced at any age.....if i would of had a daughter, hers would of been done when she was about a year old. I think little girls with pierced ears are adorable!!!!!

I would say yes as long as it is done by a professional using sterilized material and nickle free piering earings. I had my ears pierced when i was five and it hurt a lot less than when i pierced them again when i was older.

If your husband is against it then the answer should be no. If you start going against him on a matter this trivial it will escalate and will cause you problems. What if you tell him you don't want her to...oh lets say...ride her bike in the street, but he sees nothing wrong with it so he lets her..how would you feel? If you go against his wishes, you will be showing him you do not respect his opinion. Don't do it. Its not worth the fight or hard feelings you will cause. You will also set a bad example for your daughter. She will figure out if daddy says no, just ask mommy. This will drive a wedge in your marriage.

i got my ear pierced even before i learned to walk(that's what my mom told me). You can always try to convince your husband to say yes...let the little girl ask for his dad's approval. ask your husband why he doesnt want the procedure for you daughter.
It's not because i'm a girl why i'm siding with you but because i really see nothing wrong with ear piercing..specially with us girls.I might say no if boys will do it..but with girls, i am all YES!

I say yes---she can always take them out if she doesn't like them when she's older. I had mine pierced when i was 5 yrs old. And still have them pierced.
