WIBU to take £40 off dd ?

[olaflikeswarmhugs]

Dd begged to get her ears pierced but every time I took her up she would cry and be too scared . She eventually got them done the 5th time we took her .

So 6 weeks have past and it's not time to take them out . It took 3 night of crying screaming and holding her ears we eventually got them out . Now she is refusing to put a fresh pair in so her ears are going to close up . WIBU to make her reimburse us the £40 it cost us to get them done ?

Sorry YABU, did you not think after the first time you tried to remove them that they may still be sore, after the first try I would have just told her that she would have to wait for the new earrings until her ears were less sore. My DD's both have their ears pierced, they took much longer than 6 weeks before they were ready to be changed.

£40 to get ears pierced??

The cost differs depending on which earrings you choose and the price varies from £15+ (I checked Claires online btw and there are 18 carat gold earrings that are £40)

they had a pair for £70 for ear piercing too!

If anyone is reading this and considering which earrings to choose when having a piercing please go for the titanium ones over any others, even over gold or stainless steel. Titanium is the least likely to cause a reaction - there is a reason it's the metal chosen to make screws and metal plates that are inserted into the body in surgery!

Thanks Fairylea I'll remember that when we go for dd's third attempt.
