“You can’t do the snip.”
Why not just leave the decision to the parents, and leave it at that? Parents might not think the same as the parents next door, but so what? Some women prefer clipped, some unclipped, as well-it is just a preference, like piercings, tats, etc.
The nurses freaked out when my daughter was born and I handed them a pair of little gold studs and asked them to pierce her ears-they refused and told me it was “barbaric” (my ears were pierced at birth, as per hispanic custom). Fortunately, one of my aunts who lived close had given birth to her 5th girl the day before, so she came over and we pierced both our baby girls’ ears.
well that’s the obvious answer in a free country. Ridiculous that Germany feels they need to weigh in on this.
You weren’t asking the nurses to do the actual piercing, right?
