[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 293866, member: 1550"] Thanks for the feedback. My daughter babysits four days a week and is making about $100 week, most which we make her put in the bank. She would have to pay for it. There is a complication which has me less happy. All four girls (a group of them have decided that they can't live without the piercing) want their BELLY BUTTONS pierced instead. This is new. N. was at a sleepover with three of her friends last night and they all decided. I was shocked that the other three mothers gave in. I'm more concerned about the belly button. N. said "Can I hold off on the lip and just do my bellybutton?" The conversation went like this: Me: Nobody sees your bellybutton. Why pierce it? N: Because I want to, that's all. Me: Why, if nobody will see it. I like the lip idea better. N. Mom! (laughs good-naturedly, but also gives me the 'don't be a dork' rolled eyes) Me: Well, they'll see it when you wear your bathing suit. That could give people the wrong idea. Especially boys. N. MOM!!! You KNOW I'm not going to...do stuff with boys. Besides, nobody's going to think that. Me: (rolling eyes myself) Let me think about it. I want to talk to R's mom (her friend's mother who is thinking of giving in. She's a good mom too with a good daughter, and I want to hear her take on things). I'm not going to make a decision today. N: Call R's mom! Go on! (holding her phone at me) Me: Tomorrow. Go clean the cat litter. She gives me those puppy dog eyes, then scoots upstairs and my head is whirling. I talk to hub. Hub says "HER BELLYBUTTON?" I swear on a stack of Bibles that this is usually a very good kid, not particularly rebellious, mouthy only a normal amount of times, NOTHING like my oldest daughter who ended up dressing goth and taking drugs. Thoughts? If you wouldn't allow this, why not? [/QUOTE]
