Last summer my DD wanted her ears pierced. As she was 13 and very responsible, we said yes, but she then changed her mind.
She is now 14 and today she said she had decided she wanted to go ahead and so I took her along to a reputable beauty salon. The lady put pen marks on my dd's ears and asked me to check them. They looked fine. Now she has her earings I thing they are in the wrong place! She has very small lobes and the earings seem higher than centre on both sides. I haven't mentioned this and my dd seems happy but every time I look at her I see these earings in the wrong place and feel it is completely my fault and that she will be stuck with this for the rest of her life. I'm actually feeling quite sick when I look at them and when I think about it.
Anyone else had a similar experience? Should I mention it? Would we be able to let them heal and try again at a later date? I suspect the best thing is to leave it be but I really feel so awful I just want to cry. Am I just stressed about my baby growing up?!!!
