So my parents have lost not one but two sets of screw back earrings. Both times they said “she came with out them” when I know she did. I assumed that the screw backs would be impossible to loose for them but they have proven otherwise. After today I’ve spent 60$ on ear rings. (3 sets bought)
Tell me what earrings did you use for your girls that lasted impossible parents
And
Would you ask that they pay for the next pair they loose?

Sounds like they domt like them so theyre taking them out in hopes you dont knotice and the holes close. Id make sure to mention the earrings next time you drop her off (see, shes got earrings in, etc) and if they go missing again make them pay for new sets.

My kids lost screw back earrings. We got small hoops that latch shut in the back. Seemed to work the best

From 6 months of age I had diamond earrings with screw backs, I’m now 39. They never came out unless I took them out, an I never took them out until I was an adult.
I would have her take a pic before going with them with them in her ears so when she comes back without you can prove it, then tell them that anymore lost they will need to replace because replacing gets expensive.

Screw backs don’t come off like that unless they aren’t screwed on right. They are taking them off on purpose.

It sounds to me like they’re taking them out on purpose and just telling you stories. And I most certainly would demand they reimburse you for the cost.

Well, if you’re fine with piercing jewelry for now get horseshoe hoops. They have little screw on balls that usually don’t come off unless taken off, they’re hypo allergenic (surgical steel) and you can get them cheap at places like ardenes.

I buy the little sets of earrings that cost about $10 for 6 pair for my 7 year old girls. The older, 15 year old has tons of good jewelry that she’s been taking care of since the age of 10.
I agree with pp. Id point them out the next time and make them pay for new ones should they “lose” them again.

For my daughter, I have captive bread earrings. I had my piercer put them in (it’s sometime difficult to put the bead in yourself)They have been in for a year now and we have never had a problem. You can purchase them at any store that sells body jewelry and they are made from stainless steel so no need to be concerned for allergies.

I LOVE the locking back ones that they get their ears pierced with! Those are my personal favorites!

I doubt seriously theyve lost 3 pairs of earrings, they dont think theyre appropriate and are removing them. I would demand compensation the next time she comes back without them and refuse to send her until that happens. You have to put your foot down or they will continue to impose their will on your parenting choices.

I would just send her without them if it’s for a short time frame where you know the holes won’t close up…and if you don’t want to do that, then ask them to pay you back for all pairs lost from this point forward.

They are probably removing them. Maybe they think the child doesn’t need them or is too young. Ask them to stop taking them off her

Um … I would snap a picture of her with the earring on when dropping her off with them … being very obvious about and tell them I have proof of the earring and you are witnessing it. If they end up missing when I pick her up, you owe me xx dollars.

The screw backs don’t just come off. I agree with the other ladies. They’re purposefully taking them off because they don’t like them and the concept… like someone else said, I suggest taking pictures of them in her ears right before sending her with them and if she comes back without them after you’ve checked to make sure they’re properly in place, then you’ve proven what’s happening and should demand them reimburse you. Its not their child nor their decision to make whether she has pierced ears and for them to lie to you and be deceptive like that is seriously out of line.

Maybe your kid just pulls them out. My little girl is 20 months old & shes pulled her earrings out and lost some pairs. It was literally like a 2 week ordeal. I’d find them in her car seat, in the floor, in her bed sheets etc. I went & bought a pair of 14K gold earrings and haven’t had a problem since. I figured the earrings she kept pulling out were irritating her skin.
Send them without earrings… simple solution

I would stop buying them. Been there, done that. You are being unreasonable. My daughter had screw on backs and she just fumbled with them and always got them out so I disagree with everyone thinking your parents take them out. I just took her earrings out and let the holes grow up. My daughter obviously didn’t want them in and sounds like yours doesn’t either.

I wouldn’t send her over with them in her ears anymore. And no. It’s not their place to pay for them.

The screw backs definitely are not coming off on their own. And usually if they lose them, they lose just one and not the other. It’s rare to lose both. Either ask for compensation or just take them out while she’s over there. The holes don’t close up that quickly.

Send her with a plastic type pair that don’t cost a lot , see if they disappear also .

I have actually bought my daughter two pair of screw back earrings and the backs kept coming off here at home and getting lost. I finally found a different pair only 20$ at Walmart that she has had since summer and still hasn’t lost them! I periodically check them to make sure they’re not loose and still on tight!
Sounds like they’re taking them out.

I’d stop putting them in a young child before sending her over there if you know they lose them…
Bullshit, sorry but we had locking backs on our duaghter REAL DIAMOND earrings and poof they Just magically fell off? Mmmmhmm bullshit, someone took (pretty sure we know who)'Them knowing they were her Christmas gift and SUPPOSED to eventually be turned into a,purity ring , screw backs and locking earrings don’t get pulled or fall off, other wise the baby’s ears would be ripped and bleeding.
Id take a picture which gives you proof she has them and if she doesn’t have them when you pick her up have them pay you back that’s ridiculous

They are taking them out, they arent getting lost. I can barely get my screw back earing on and off half the time, shit takes forever to screw lol. Stop sending her with earings they are gonna keep taking them. If its too soon to be taking them out for periods of time then dont send her there till you can.
My daughter has lost SO many earrings! The only earrings she hasn’t lost are her piercing studs. After a hundred dollars lost in earrings I decided to file the point down on her piercing studs and put those back in. That lasted a couple months and she lost one of those too. Lol I now just buy cheap sensitive ear earrings and don’t worry about it. She will be old enough soon enough to tell me when her earrings are falling out and then I’ll buy her good ones again.
Dont send her with them in or if you dont wanna keep spend so much money on earring just go to Walmart and buy a thing of earrings with like more then one pair
My daughter has screw backs and theyve been in her ears since she was a year old… shes 3.

My daughter has lost a pair Or 2pairs of screw back and she is only 4. It does happen but if it is only happening when she goes there it sounds like they are taking them out.

Monroe earrings will never fall out and no don’t ask them to replace it. It’s not like they would have done it on purpose kids will be kids. My daughter is 1.5 and has had her ears pierced since 2 months she’s lost several.
Lose* and don’t send her in earrings. If you do, make a point to tell them she has them in when you drop her off. If they “go missing” their either taking them or neglecting her earring care.

It’s not their responsibility to buy things for your child. Be glad they take care of her and stop being so entitled.

Trust me your baby girl is probably somehow loosing them up. My baby has lost two pair diamond earrings my mom bought her😫.
I would send over there with bare ears.

She could be taking them out her self or they could be taking them out. Have proof that she had them in before she leaves so they cant deny it or dont send at all. Though i do believe if they are intentionally taking them out for whatever reason (maybe they believe she shouldnt have her ears pierced and take them out to send a message) and if it comes down to the fact that they do intentionally take them out (without either of yours or her permission) and they toss them or lose them i feel as if yes they should replace them or at the very least give them back if they still have them. And if this is the case then i do not believe you’re being or acting entitled. so dont let that remark ruin your night. have proof she had them in before she goes there or take them out before she goes, either way. Personally id choose the have proof she had them in and secure before she went over there to call out any bullshit that may occur.
Put a little nail polish in the back after u put them, they won’t come off again.
Get the "insurance "on em🤷♀️ my daughter used to lose them ALL THE TIME till I just stopped buying em for her.
I’ve tried hoops that clip in the back, hoops that go inside themselves, screw on back studs, backing that snap in place that are “child proof”, and my kids as babies and toddlers always got them off somehow. I’ve spent probably hundreds on earrings lol. The best advice I can give if find ones that stay on the longest and every night at bed time, or every morning when they wake up, check and make sure they’re on tight. Usually you’ll catch them if they’ve gotten loose before they fall off.

Not sure her age but we went through a period with my daughter at about 1 1/2 she lost her piercing studs and 3 or 4 pairs of lock back earrings in a week.
I gave up, I think she was pulling them out we will get her ears redone when she is way bigger.

Just my OPINION so if you get butthurt that sucks for you
First of all they are earrings stop wasting your money on buying more. Having earrings is not an absolute must have, chill. It isnt their responsibility to make sure your child keeps her earrings in, it is you and your childs responsibility. If your child cant tell you what is happening to her piercings then she isnt old enough to care for them and shouldnt have them anyways. Third are you absolutely sure you are screwing them on all the way? Just like any screw ball piercing if its not screwed on tight ANY sort of bump or movement can unscrew them, little by little of your kid touching her ears or her hair rubbing them all day can unscrew them! Dont just assume the grandparents are taking them out

A child should have piercings only when they are old enough to be responsible for and take care of them. Depends on child but in most cases not before 11.

I didn’t gamble with the safety of my child for the sake of pleasing my needs. I waited until they were old enough to want their ears pierced and old enough to properly care for them.
