Toddlers are Quackers

She broke an egg, and decided to eat it. I’d forgotten that she doesn’t like the yolk. It’s fine with me. I like it best!
Our pop tarts didn’t turn out so well.
She did everything but put the jelly on. I’m not sure if using squeeze jelly (too thin?) was wrong, or the pastries were too small.

I wish they had waited until she could take care of them herself (at least until she stopped protesting!), but I’m not surprised.
I’m glad my ears are pierced. I know how to take care of her, and any problems. No one could remember how to take care of her ears.

Please understand that I’m not trashing anyone that pierces their baby’s ears. I’m expressing confusion since the bios said they would never let her pierce them before nine, and they aren’t the ones caring for her ears. Plus frustration that no one paid attention or looked up piercing care.

My last pair of diamond earrings from Kay Jewelers kept falling out. I returned them once, and went back a few times because the screw on backings were not staying on. Yada yada, it turns out others have the same complaint.
So! Now what? I’m not putting cheap earrings on a child. Of course, I’m not getting diamonds either! I’m looking at $35-45 clearance in the child section, as well as preteen. I know at Kay’s they have some kind of warranty, and they aren’t going to turn her ears green. Plus I can put it on my Kay’s credit card.
Okay, but all that aside, where do you buy your earrings?

I get them as gifts. I have to wear gold or silver.

All of mine are Kay’s or Harley. That means $300-1,000+. I really don’t know what it costs to get decent, but not over priced earrings.

Mom used to buy stuff on the home shopping channel. I mostly bought jewelry at department stores.

I've never had pierced ears. My mom wouldn't let me when I cared about them, and by the time I was old enough, I didn't care anymore, plus my little sister got pierced ears and they were always oozing puss because of allergies, and mine develop cysts regularly and that sort of scares me too.

My mother is against piercings too. Even my oldest brother got his ear pierced at 18 though. He had it done at Spencer gifts. Because he was so tall, they had him kneel on the floor to do it. My mother freaked out about that, as well as someone told her that they practice on oranges. My older sisters were all brought to JCPenney’s on their 18th birthdays so that my mother knew that they were done right.
My fear of needles was always so severe that even saying, “needles,” made me cry in pain.
When one of my sisters got married, the store gave her the wrong clip on converters so I was the only bridesmaid without earrings on. Two months before another sister was getting married, I was (18, and) at the Rainbow Mall in Niagara Falls, New York. I went into Claire’s boutique while the woman was on the phone yelling at her daughter. She got off the phone, made a comment about kids, and pierced my ears. I cried horribly, and vomited for several months because there was metal going through my ear and I could not get over that. Actually, I still get sick when I think about it too much.
Anyway, something was very wrong. The maid at the hotel found me crying in my room, and taught me to cup my ear so that I didn’t touch the pillow. She also told me that simply putting the cleaning solution on my ear would stop the pain. She hugged me a few minutes, and wished me well. My ears never healed right, hurt constantly and I got infections. I took my earrings out for only a few days after about two years, and they healed shut.
A few years later, I pierced my ears again. This time, the pain stopped within a few days. No problem since.
Duckling... The little brat said that she didn’t cry, and has no pain at all. She keeps fidgeting when I’m trying to turn the post, so she feels it then. I understand her fidgeting though. I wouldn’t want someone doing that to me!! fortunately, I know how to stop the pain!

Duckling had a question. I now know that fish pass gas, and some use it as a form of communication.
