Okay, so my daughter is turning 7 in a couple of weeks, and I am CLUELESS about what to do for her birthday this year. I have never had this problem before. Last year, we did the Hannah Montana party & the kids seamed to have a blast. We did fake tattoos & the whole bit. We had a Karaoke machine, but never actually ended up doing it...go figure. But still it was a huge success! So I'm at a loss as to what to do this year. I don't even know what to get her. All she's been asking for? is to get her ears pierced. Which would be great, since all her other little friends & cousins have their's pierced. PROBLEM: Dad hates the idea, in any way shape or form.
I honestly don't see what the big deal is! If I was forcing her, I could see the problem. But, Mikayla's ready, she's excited in fact, & keeps asking why she can't have it done. So here's my dilemma! Do I just do it & not tell Nathan? (I know there so many bad things with that option), or Do I disappoint my little girl? Help people, what do I do? Anyone out there who has a suggestion, I'm all ears!

Caleb just went to a party that was really fun. He is 6. It was a wacky crazy party. Everyone dressed up crazy or wacky. The mom gave them each an award certificate. Caleb's was the wackiest backwards clothing award. They had a blast.
I suggest having Mikayla asking your husband herself with puppy dog eyes! Usually Dad's can't pass that up. She could also ask if he would be there to help her be brave :) If you do it behind his back your daughter might know that he doesn't want her to do it and then she will wonder why you still did it.
I think you should just do it. Especially if she is wanting to do it. My parents made me wait til I was TWELVE!!! Then I went ahead and made 2nd and 3rd holes myself... and they didn't even notice for about 6 months. The chances of your husband noticing are slim I bet.
What's his reasoning? My husband didn't want EmberLee (my 4 year old) to do it, because he figured she was too young to take care of them. EmberLee begged for 6 months before Jake gave in. If Nathan doesn't want her to for the moral reasons, remind him that the prophet says it's acceptable for girls to have one piercing in their ears (that's another one I through out there, Jake couldn't say no then). I was 7 when I got my first holes, because my dad wouldn't let me. I eventually got a belly button piercing too.....if Dad doesn't approve and you go behind his back, your only teaching her to do the same thing. Or if you do, just tell him your going to, so that your not doing it behind his back. This is a rough one. How long is he going to put her in a bubble??? j/k. I'm sure his reasonings are acceptable too.
