The One Thing I Regret Doing As A Mother

By Brittany • November 8, 2018

I love being a mother. Before I had Sweet T, I thought that I would not be a good mother because I didn’t know anything about children. When I told my grandmother that I didn’t want children a few years prior to having Sweet T, she told me to stop being selfish and that my dog, Tucker, was not a baby. That’s still one of the funniest memories I think about of her.

But honestly, that’s not what I wanted to talk about in this post. The one decision I made for Sweet T that I wish I didn’t was…drumroll: getting her ears pierced.

Sweet T was very strong-willed when she was a baby. I know that crazy to say, but she knew what she wanted and she was very in tune with her surroundings. I remember us walking into “the popular jewelry place” to get her ears pierced. It was so many people in the already tight knit and crowded store and I honestly didn’t like the atmosphere myself and Sweet T definitely wasn’t feeling it.

She screamed to the top of her lungs when we arrived in the store. It should have been a sign to me to run but we had already made plans to go and we were there. Big mommy mistake.

After the horrific experience with the lady punching a hole in my daughter’s ear sideways, we had a heck of a time healing it and starting over. We got it corrected, but it was still a nightmare of infections that I couldn’t handle anymore. So, Mr. Dad and I  decided earlier this year to just let it go.

I remember in my mommy Facebook group the debate about getting ears pierced while they are babies or just waiting until they are old enough to choose for themselves. Sweet T was so cute with earrings, but honestly, if I could go back in time, I’d give her the chose to make that decision for herself.

I won’t force or pressure anything on her that she doesn’t allow. This is a lesson I will carry as she gets older.

Do you have a regret as a mother? Don’t worry we all do! Let me know in the comments!
