Can I force my son to pierce his ears?

Question

My son is 10 and I want him to get his ears pierced. His father has them as does his 3 sisters. He doesn't want them pierced though. How can I make him?

Answer 1

This is a joke right ?
Embrace the fact that your son will grow up making choices in his own right, he does not want holes in his ears so leave him alone and respect his wishes.

Answer 2

why would you force him to do something he doesn't want to do ?

Answer 3

What possible justification could you have for an unnecessary cosmetic procedure that he doesn't want?

Moreover, why couldn't any justification you came up with be used to force female genital mutilation?

Answer 4

Yes. And he can also sue you for this when he is able.

Answer 5

no no no no

Answer 6

No. You probably could but that would be a really shitty thing to do. He's just a child. And I don't mean to stick with the traditional gender roles or anything but he is a boy...and I just don't see why you'd want your son's ears pierced that badly you'd be willing to force him.

Answer 7

wow...you sound like a good mother,,,forcing your kids to do things YOU WANT

Answer 8

legally you kinda can't??? that's seriously messed up if he doesn't want them pierced don't get his ears pierced plus when he's older like 15 he might want them pierced then he'll ask to do it so it won't make him dislike uou

Answer 9

no you do not make the boy do it if he doesnt want too, in swaziland we have make boys do righte of pasage but if they dont want too then they are not men but boys or women which we ritefully have sex with if they arent mend. we in swaziland have sex of everything that moves and is not other men but if man sexes the other man then he is homosapien and we kill him.

Answer 10

You should not make a child do something they don't want to do...
