I think tacky is a bit of a harsh word to use when you are talking about little girls.

ZF My DH is like yours dead against it, but I have always said if I had a little girl she would have her ears pierced.
She has been a long time in coming but she is finally here and such a little girly girl too so I really want to get them done.

Reading through all these stories I think I am going to "work" on DH a bit more selling the sooner rather than later angle for cleaning purposes.

Good luck on your "working" your DH too
