[@annavslife6349]

Just a little piece of advice from a children's psychologist (me): whenever the stress of a child is so high that she cries uncontrolably, shakes or freakes out you should stop with what you are doing. That amount of stress, especially if it has something to do with fysical boundaries (it is her body and her right to say no) you should be very careful and not push a young child for fourty minuts. This can be potentially traumatizing. Sorry for my poor English but i am from the Netherlands.... I understand that you don't know what to do as a parent in some situations, but remember that a little bit of crying or little scared is okay but a high amount of stress in combination with fysical boundaries can be damaging. You should learn a child that when something doesnt feel right, they have te right to say no. Encourage that! When someone touches her later and it doesn't feel right, you want her to say NO, right? She is emotionally a little too young. Not every seven year old is 'old' enough for this. Try it again a few years later... I dont blame you at all! Being a parent is probably one of the hardest tasks in life.... love you all!

[@libbyb5566]

Anna Vs Bowel I'm probably going to get crap for this but I'm questioning your credentials if you're a child psychologist yet you're spelling "physical" wrong.

[@Ducttapegirl472]

Libby Buzard she said she's from the Netherlands so that's probably why

[@libbyb5566]

+JA Crafts i missed that part! That would make sense. I also generally agree with what the poster is saying and I don't blame bonnie. She's right, being a parent is not easy.

[@nightmare9510]

You are the most refreshing person in this comment section. People are way too pissed at Bonnie. The same people who tell her to "keep it real" are the same people discouraging her for posting her daughter crying for getting her ears pierced.

[@annavslife6349]

Libby Buzard hahaha i know, but English is not my language, i speak Dutch. I am from the Netherlands. But you are right. If i were English i would doubt my credentials too haha.

[@palomamuir2260]

9:02 bonnie looks so angry 😂😂😂

[@danacharles6076]

Bonnie and Joel did not force Olivia to do anything, she really wanted her ears pierced so they took her. Obviously they were going to be frustrated because she wanted them so bad then acted like this. They were trying to comfort her and didn't want her to regret not getting them. I see nothing wrong with this. Bonnie and Joel, you are amazing parents and these comments don't change that.

[@saramarlena7184]

Dana Charles yes! I agree with you!!!!!

[@jadefamily6577]

Dana Charles agreed!!

[@alohakelly13]

She wanted them pierced until she saw someone else getting their's pierced. She was very clear from that moment that she changed her mind. That was even before they picked out the earings and paid for them. She screamed and cried that she had changed her mind. They forced her to go ahead with it and that is why she was unwilling to cooperate. It was not her fault in the least. Parents need to know when to accept that the child changed their mind and is fearful. If it was something that there was no option with and had to be done then that's another story. Ear piercing can always wait till a future date.

[@danacharles6076]

Kelly Maiden and if you don't like the way they parent you can go right ahead and leave their page :)

[@lindalopez2826]

Dana Charles where on youtube does it say leave positive comments only? If they don't want anyone to post negative or opinionated comments they should either stop posting videos for the public to see or disable the comments.EVERYONE has the RIGHT to speak their mind.

[@marthadeandaa]

If I was Bonnie I would be like "okay now you don't get your ears pierced until you're 16" lol

[@bezzbelbo4072]

martha de anda she was scared, you can't punish for something you are scared of. When she is ready to get her ears pierced she will ask again.

[@2011mellophone]

martha de anda that is still too generous! I'd tell her, "I bought 2 pairs and both were wasted. You get to buy the next ones when you want it done!"

[@bezzbelbo4072]

LinnnaaaLynne Love yes, I mean fully ready. It was a traumatic experience for her, you can see that she is even crying a little when Bonnie wanted to pierce the dolly's ear. Being pressured of the situation at Claire's (not by parents or so, the situation) of course it's easy to change the mind but in the end to say no. She probably won't be ready when she is 8, but now she know the fear she is facing, before she didn't know. :)

[@21_f_aus]

+Beatrice Nincompoop yes she will when she's good and ready I was scared when I had mine done at 16 but I braced myself even though I never knew what to really expect and done it, Olivia will decide the right time whether it be when she's 8 or 16 or an adult or never it's her choice she thought she was ready but she wasn't, I found that hard to watch with her crying poor kid

[@mentionedkiller]

The first time I got my ears pierced I was about 5

[@melissa1010scott]

Nobody knows Olivia like her parents do. Bonnie and Joel know when Olivia might need a little push to face her fear. They also knew when to call it quits. They recorded until they felt they shouldn't anymore. They are confident in the way they parent THEIR kids and they have every reason to be. I look up to you Bonnie as a women, mom, and wife.

[@laurenhp451]

MelHoff11 this is my favourite comment so far. Everyone just needs to chill out!

[@SnowLilies]

spot on

[@21_f_aus]

Yes they both really done well in the situation, I'm glad they weren't forcing her just would have made things worse for Olivia, I would have been frustrated myself if I was in her shoes but just never force a child to do it. I'm sure Olivia will know when she's ready next time she needs to be sure she's ready and maybe have a friend or cousin with her and she closes her eyes so she doesn't see them doing it and it'll be over and done with in no time.

[@jewelsland3376]

Olivia really wanted those earings. When she threw a fit Bonnie was trying to comfort her and tell her to be brave. I get the frustration because my kids have done the exact same thing then chickened out then begged again and acted the same way. Bonnie is the realist youtuber and i love her for it.

[@triplixity]

But you wouldn't record it and embarrass your kid and shame them later for saying no.

[@mandyschmidt7164]

lol. If you think this video is embarrassing than you're a sensitive prude and probably a bad parent

[@kathydoyle9939]

name calling?

[@kathydoyle9939]

Jewels Land. Olivia hadn't "thrown a fit". She'd PANICKED! She had changed her mind about getting her ears pierced AND NO-ONE WAS LISTENING TO HER! "Don't be naughty". Olivia, you and I have something terrible in common. I'm sorry your mom decided to show you to the world, in your most vulnerable moments. I know. Doubtful Olivia gets to read comments.

[@ciara3391]

I think parenting has changed so much since I was a kid. If I begged my mom to get my ears pierced and she took me to get them done and paid for the earrings, she would have done the same thing. And same for when Bonnie took her doll away. People complain about creators sharing things like this but when they dont people say their fake. For one there is no perfect way to parent. I've learned a lot from their videos. Bonnie's kids are very well behaved, because they respect her as a disciplinarian. In this situation they knew how bad she wanted to get them done, but they knew her fear was getting away so they were trying to help her past that. If she would have done it, she probably would have been very happy with them.

[@desteni1992]

Ciara Finally someone who isnt bashing their every decision!! I agree, people act like them taking her doll away was such a horrible thing. They are doing the right thing so she didnt pick her skin and cause bleeding and pain and everything else. all they did was take a doll away. some parents discipline by much worse punishment. Plus when i got my ears pierced my mom wouldnt have gave me the second chance and paid for a second set of earrings the same day yet people think they are horrible becuase they were trying to help her through it. once its done and the pain is gone, she would have been happy and they knew that

[@haliechristiansen]

Ciara Bonnie handle this situation well! If it were me, my mom would have spanked my butt right in the store, marched me out to the car, taken me home, and grounded me.... Bonnie was upset, but she made sure to let Olivia know she wouldn't hate her or be disappointed if she didn't get them done. Bonnie is a wonderful mother! She did nothing wrong in this video or when she took the doll away a few weeks ago.

[@morgan4474]

You wanted her to be punished? She wasn't defiant.

[@TheOtherSideOfAlex]

Ciara haha I agree, people want to have kids they are proud of but don't want to do the hard work that goes into it. I am 26, so if I asked my parents to get my ears done at 7 they would have started out warning me that once they pay for it that it is going down and I could pick if it was the nice way or the hard way. I was never even spanked as a child so everyone is way too soft. She shouldn't get a different reward either she spoiled this one for herself and it is just a lesson learned. I am sure she will be up for it again on her Birthday and they can try again.

[@MadDisaster]

I agree. Parents these days are too soft. Glad there are still parents like Bonnie and Joel who can stand firm but still show a lot of love to their children.

[@urenchelsea]

Hannah R. I've had my ears done in Claire's and also got my nose done in Claire's and I've had no problem. Some people may have problems when they have sensitive skin but doesn't mean everyone will have problems. Stop judging!

[@sophiebaker7563]

Hannah R. they didn't want her to get them done there either but Olivia wanted to and it was her reward so her choice.

[@hannah9774]

Chelsea still piercing guns are really really bad for you and a needle hurts a lot less.

[@hannah9774]

Kerri Walsh as a 7 year old I would be more afraid of that thing streching and holding my ear and that click in my ear than a needle wich you don't even see and don't make any sounds at all... and still... they are bad for you.

[@hannah9774]

Sophie Baker well they are the parents and if they know better than why let the 7 year old choose just because all her frainds do it as well and you probably saw what happend with her cousins ears. it's not always only sensitiv skin... Piercing Guns are as the name says... Guns. ... and Guns don't leave straight even holes... they shoot. and that is bad.

[@TheTuesday11]

I understand her being afraid, but to award the bad maybe rude behavior I think is a mistake. If Olivia said, no I changed my mind, but the screaming and jerking around??? I'm not sure that warrants a new reward. Just my thoughts

[@1970audilou1]

[@addie4375]

Everyone is saying that they would never sit there how Bonnie did and make her go through with it 😒🙄Bonnie was doing it out of pure love ❤️ she obviously tried again so that she wouldn't regret not doing it because she had been begging to get it done Besides getting your ears pierced is a scary thing it is a needle going through your ear and I find the older the kid the more scared they are

[@brittaniesidebottom]

It is loving to convince your child take medication when they are sick. It’s not loving to force them to alter a part of their body just because you did it at their age. She looked ticked off and wasn’t very comforting when Olivia changed her mind, which isn’t fair to Olivia.

"go down and love her." Wow such great advice! I think in the heat of the moment we want to be upset, and force her to go through with it. She was genuinely afraid and its important to value her feelings. You seem like such a great person with a kind heart. Even though she tested your patience, you did right by your little girl and she will remember this.

[@macyvice1734]

Bonnie you are my favorite vlog. But this video broke my heart. I cannot believe that you let your daughter go through this. I am so sorry for Olivia. She was so scared. She was not naughty at all. When she sat on your lab, crying, and you just ignored her and did not back her up really gave me goosebumps (8.40-10.00). And why did the ladies in the store keep trying to pierce her ears when she obviously said, that she didnt want to??! They should have respected her and stopped right away. Plus: Why do you put this in a vlog for the whole world to see? Poor Olivia. This made me sick :-(

[@mandyschmidt7164]

Well they aren't allowed to say "I'm not going to do this". Bonnie insisted she get them done. Oddly enough, it was the parents' decision to go through with it or not.

[@CarlyZarate]

Yes she was scared. What child wouldnt be? But she had begged and begged and begged for earrings. They showed her all the earrings and I'm sure they comforted her more then we saw. Reminder, you don't know them. You saw probably two minutes of the forty minutes they were at Claire's. They did what they could, and ended up not getting them anyways. Chill out and don't tell people how to raise there kids, especially when you DONT know them.

[@laaara_jane]

Often times, especially for kids, people don't know what they signed up for until it's a done deal, and that's what happened here. I know she said she wanted to, but she didn't fully realize what was going to happen until it was real. She even said she didn't want to anymore before Bonnie told the employees she wanted her ears pierced. Regardless, it's strange to me that they recorded this, let alone uploaded it. If I were Olivia, I would feel very embarrassed and mad at my parents for recording and uploading such a personal family mishap. This is how anxiety disorders start.

[@vanessakay9879]

Ear piercing is SO permanent, it is somebody punching a hole through your skin. She is only almost 8. if she was scared or changed why is she not allowed to change her mind? Adults change their mind all of the time. I see nothing wrong to let her have her feelings, show compassion and let her know in her time of fear you will not be angry at her. If Bonnie had to pay for the earnings maybe she can use them when she decides to get them done. I didn't see an attitude from Olivia, I saw a very scared little sweetie. We can always encourage them to politely decline. As parents we want to be graceful with our children

[@vanessakay9879]

Wow, really fast typing...my grammar is terrible in that comment I posted. Also, auto correct 🙄.

[@TheMrsJwoods]

She was allowed to change her mind. She ended up going home without her ears pierced. They pierced the dolls ears instead.

[@natalieh5843]

Vanessa Kay She did change her mind, and I agree with you to a certain extent. I believe children shouldn't be forced to get something done to their body unless they want it. I think Bonnie just knew how much she wanted them done! 💚

[@vanessakay9879]

My comment was made after I read so many comments saying O was misbehaving, and commenters saying they would have made her go through with it, etc. It wasn't necessarily meant toward Bonnie. Thank you for comments on my comment. :) yes, I am aware she was at home with no ears pierced in the end. Devedre, well actually Bonnie did not "have" to buy those two sets of earrings. She chose too. Throwing a fit? Eh, I think O was trying to be heard, and had many feelings emotions going on. Have you ever wanted something or wanted to do something but, too afraid to do it? It's a brand new day. I hope everyone is filled with joy today and everyday.

[@lizaluhamblin1]

I don't usually comment but I really wanted to ask that the next time she wants to get her ears pierced PLEASE go to an actual piercing shop. It is for her safety above all else. Places like Claire's are unable to sterilize the piercing guns prior to every customer whereas all equipment used at a piercing shop is brand new for each customer. In addition piercing at a shop is WAY less painful. The guns at Claire's basically rip through the ear but at a shop the needle is hollow and it basically removes the tiniest hole to make room for the earring. We just recently took our 3 year old daughter to get hers pierced and she barely flinched when he did the first ear and had no reaction when he did the second. Plus they will heal better.

[@bezzbelbo4072]

Lulu S did you see that the women at Claire's tried to do her both ears at the same time, which is brutal, I did at a pierce shop and didn't feel much either and I was 9 years old.

[@lizaluhamblin1]

Beatrice Nincompoop the whole thing looked bad. Can't believe they were gonna try it with her wiggling so much. Not professional and there is no way those holes would have matched or been accurate.

[@AyselGwynith]

I think they do two at the same time because kids often get scared when they have one ear done and then don't want the other one anymore. But I can totally see how two people is intimidating for Olivia if she is already scared. But yeah, I can't even believe they tried to do it when she was moving that much either. Might have ended up completely in the wrong place!

[@synthiarose7665]

Does it matter? Is it your life? No! Olivia chose to go to Claire's. Geez people!

[@rionadodd8437]

Jewels Land not everything is filmed nor do they post everything they film. You are basing your comment off of what you heard Bonnie say in the video.

[@kristagrant4179]

I honestly don't blame her for freaking out. I would too if someone came at me with piercing guns. They use blunt force to put a dull piece of metal through the ear, not to mention the length of the earring is too short to make room for swelling and makes cleaning uncomfortable and sometimes impossible. It's a lot healthier and safer to go to a certified body piercer so a single- use hollow point needle can be used.

[@TheSuperPuppiez]

You did the right thing Bonnie. Poor Olivia was so scared. You handle it way better then most people would have.

[@TheSuperPuppiez]

[@LifeInXEveryWord]

I'm in the same anti-Claire's boat as many others, but I'm just going to say that even if you get it done at Claire's, NEVER let them do two guns at once. I got mine pierced at Claire's when I was Olivia's age with the two guns, but one went off right before the other and caused me to tilt my head slightly to one side so the other side ended up extremely low. Less than 6 months later, my earring got caught slightly on my shirt and ripped right out of my ear. The doctors weren't able to close it, so I still have what looks like a mouse bite taken out of my ear. I ended up having them repierced by a plastic surgeon as a teenager and am extremely pleased with the results many years later.

[@21_f_aus]

wow when mine were at 16years of age the ladies at the hair dresser done 2 guns at the exact same time that's how it's normally done or how it should be done, atleast your ears got fixed up now though they should be more careful when doing it if they're doing it at the same time should be at the exact same time, if not things like what you experienced could happen :(

[@AyselGwynith]

I am wondering, why didn't you take it out immediately? It heals within a couple of weeks and you can just get it done again. And get your money back, because they made the mistake! I would not be walking around with asymmetrically pierced ears.

That's ok sweet Olivia, I was 59 when I had the courage to get my ears pierced.

[@biancaravizza]

[@annar1823]

I got my ears Peirced when I was 2 ;-;

[@lqzuli]

I got mine when I was a baby my mom was smart doing that lol

[@85michellemybelle]

I love that you showed your expectations to the boys before you went in. Sometimes that's the ideas or advice I'm looking for! I have started doing that, and usually it does help! ❤️

[@85michellemybelle]

Oh Bonnie, you and I are the same person. I was curious what your mom would say and I was thinking she'd side with "us" ☺️ Then, of course, she had a great answer. "Go downstairs and love her." 😭😭😭(then I cry bc I didn't think of that first bc I was so upset that TWICE we tried only bc she wanted it done). 😌 But, I would tell mine that she isn't allowed to ask again until she's 10. 😂☺️😌😌

[@kathleenl4387]

85michellemybelle I agree 😄 except I would probably tell my child that she has to wait to ask at 13. 🤔maybe 12?

[@Honebee80]

so sad that she thought she was going to make her mom mad. I can see mommy dearest

[@ishopinmysleep]

Honebee80 she knew Bonnie was excited too, I think it was more not wanting to disappoint her.

[@yvettecollymore9441]

Honebee80 shut up

[@Honebee80]

Yvette Collymore lol NO!

[@Honebee80]

Yvette Collymore not playing with you but really you think to tell someone to shut up and their not going to say something back? come on.

[@purpleflame2449]

9:38 Olivia is screaming everyone is trying to be calm and make her calm then suddenly little Boston goes “I’m hungry!” 😂 I love him so much!

[@graciemoore3271]

Bonnie, I really think Olivia might have anxiety that will turn into a problem later in life. any kid would be scared, but crying and totally freaking yourself out about it is definitely a symptom of anxiety. 😟

[@graciemoore3271]

constantinople cat well, every parent has their own way of parenting and their own way of doing things, there is nothing wrong with that. I just wish they would realize that she may have anxiety so they can help her!:)

[@21_f_aus]

yeah I think you're right there, I have Anxiety myself, but I do think if she has a friend or cousin with her to get her ears done and closes her eyes it may help with the fear, when she's ready to do it she will. I was scared myself when I got my ears done at aged 16 but I just done it and was done so quick, I hope they can find a way to help her even by her seeing a professional whether she has Anxiety or not can help her face her fear.

[@dalzarm4129]

Bella-Beau Burton I got my daughters done at 2 months also it's much better when they're babies then when they're this age

[@MarshaBenne]

And everyone well mostly everyone says how sweet they look. I've gotten some haters for it but most people say nice things

[@lyndsaywildman9377]

I'm sure Bonnie just didn't want Olivia to regret not getting them pierced. I can't tell you how many things I wouldn't have done or followed through with without some encouragement (sometimes almost forcing) from my mom.

[@TheSuzanne003]

Lyndsay Wildman encouragement.....good. 40 minutes of torture....not encouraging.

[@tiquach6028]

Olivia is such a adorable girl! Crying always makes things better!

🙈OH man Bonnie talk about MAJOR FAIL! 🙉 This is why i got my girls ears pierced when they were around 1 yrs old! Pop Pop and DONE! I have 3 girls so imagine how much i would be SWEATING😂😂😂

[@westvirginiawildfire]

I can't believe people still take their kids to get their ears pierced at Claire's ☹️ the chance of infection and traumatic cysts are so high... I know from experience unfortunately

[@janeyork8972]

This was hard to watch. She clearly is not ready. I can't imagine my child crying and begging that something not be done to her body (and something cosmetic at that!) and not immediately honor her request. Maybe a few years down the line she'll feel differently but hold off for now.

[@janeyork8972]

Yes, and then she said "no." It is SO important that we teach our girls that when they say "no" to something being done to their bodies, their demands should be immediately adhered it. Olivia said yes and then she said NO. At that point, everything should have stopped.

[@SarahBevElizabeth]

Jane York I cringed when she told her to do it so she would make the ladies mad.... it seems unrealistic but this is how girls start getting ideas that they need to please other people over their own well being. And then men.

[@aimmer20]

Please go to a professional next time. Claire's is a terrible place to get piercings done. I got my cartilage pierced there and they went through a vein. They have no idea what they are doing.

[@carlygoss2348]

Aimmer R I'm so sorry but you yourself do not know what you're talking about. There is no vein in your cartilage. Only reason it would bleed would be due to an underlying medical condition which you may not be aware of. I myself work for claires and I can tell you we are sent for training for a minimum of 3 months...

[@SarahFirestonee]

Aimmer R I agree. I have a friend that works in a tattoo shop and when my daughter is old enough to decide she wants her ears pierced, we are going there to get them done. Claire's employees only have to watch ONE video on ear piercing with that gun and then they're good to go poke holes in your child's body. no thanks.

[@carlygoss2348]

Sarah Firestone yet again. Not true

[@Alyssa-ke9xm]

It's not Claire's, it's piercing guns in general that can be the problem, especially for cartilgae. A lobe is one thing but you should never pierce your cartilage with a gun. It's extremely unsafe and can cause permanent damage to that part of your ear. Any piercer, whether in Claire's or a professional shop can make a mistake and hit a vein, that's a risk you take if you want a piercing, which is why you or an adult if underage have to sign a consent form. A Claire's employee learns to pierce ears with what equipment they're given, it's not their fault of it's not the safest option.

[@sweetcanada17]

I agree with Alyssa. Earlobes are usually fine when pierced with a gun. I got my earlobes pierced 15 years ago with a gun. I'm fine. But when I got my cartilage pierced with a gun, I was in trouble. That did a lot of damage. I even had to spend some time in the hospital after a sepsis had set in. I'm getting it re-done in one year. But at a tattoo and piercing parlour.

[@arianalizzington5278]

Hi bonnie, I am a Fenton and my family a long time ago started that and i am so proud to have a family that made great dishes!

[@iPodMusician]

I worked at Claire's for 2 years. The first time a child says the words "I don't want to do it" 99% of the time it's impossible to pierce them. Honestly as soon as she says that, it's time to go.

[@MaleniaRae]

You are my favourite vlog. But I just lost all respect for you. For putting her through that for 40 min.

[@natalieh5843]

Armstrong House She knows Olivia's limits and she made the parenting choice she thought was right. Thanks for helping parent her children, though.

[@SarahFirestonee]

Armstrong House Agreed. I'm a family vlogger too and I don't ever have my camera pointed at my children while they cry and have a hard time. They just recorded her and let her cry and then got mad at her...really?

[@aarontorok6389]

Armstrong House k yt f bff

[@IzzeyIce]

Armstrong House and exposing her to KZbin like this!

[@jaz8810]

Armstrong House good bye. i agree with you bonnie.

[@backupaccount1905]

I think that as a mom Bonnie didn't know how to handle the situation. On the other hand Bonnie shouldn't have waited 40 minutes we'll Olivia was scared half to death. You should listen when your child says no. I was discussed when you said Olivia was being naughty. What made the situation even worse was that you were filming this, this is supposed to be a private thing with your daughter. I love this channel and I love this family but I totally disagree with how this situation was handled.

[@madtingz2288]

I got mine pierced at 4 and held my tears in even though I was anxious

i was supposed to get mine done when I was four but i got way too scared and did it a few years later

Her ears will always be there and when she is ready she will get them done. She is a little girl. Remember it is a woman's prerogative to change her mind.

[@MsLilacLover1]

It's not a fail. She got scared and didn't want them done. I'm 44 and mine aren't pierced. Nope, no thanks.

[@olgakarpets4056]

Poor Olivia! I would never pressure her! 😰

[@21_f_aus]

yes never pressure but give a gentle push and a lot of encouragement goes a long way, maybe they should have grubbed something for her to hold while she got her ears pierced maybe something for them to think about doing next time maybe her having a cousin or friend with her even.

[@erinm0058]

I got my ears pierced when I was around 5 and I think Olivia is growing up to be a beautiful young lady!! X

[@mandyricketts7354]

Grandma Griffith should have an advice vlog for moms.. or a hotline! I loved her advice because my first instinct would have been to yell and punish because of my frustration and time and money wasted. Her advice would have calmed me down and made me take a breath and think..

[@Whocares302]

kelly blake because its more about how you appear than how you feel. sad.

[@kellyblake9040]

Thats me i dont understand what you mean?

[@Whocares302]

kelly blake I just feel like she was more worried about what people thought of Olivia and even about how pretty her earrinhs would be, than how scared she was.

[@kellyblake9040]

Yes definitely. I've just commented on someone else's that i think this was more for bonnie than her daughter. Shame really. That thumbnail is horrible too

[@stephaniebianca5831]
