Today, I asked my mother-in-law to watch after my baby daughter. When I returned home, my baby's ears were pierced. FML

I would probably flip my shit. She had no right to do that to your child, especially without you or your husbands permission!

I don't understand why people want to force metal through a child's ears. Let them decided if they want to do that when they're older.

That's freaking ridiculous. I didn't get my ears pierced until I was 13 because my mom felt it was my decision.

I don't see what the problem is.

@85 The problem is that MIL made a parental decision about the child when she didn't have a right to.

Take the studs out and they will heal up. Piercing babies is a bad idea- they aren't even close to done growing, and the child can't decide or consent. Also you need to set some clear boundaries with your MIL and remind her that this is your child and not to disrespect you or undermine your parental authority again- and don't give a shit how she may react or how much she may dislike you because of it- your child's well-being is more important than the whole family getting along all the time.

By that logic, it's a bad time to ever pierce your ears because your ears actually never stop growing...

I would shit bricks!!!! I'm so sorry op. That's something that you should decide. My mum told me that she was going to take my daughter to get her ears pierced when she was old enough and I told her hell no that's something I want to do with my daughter. Jeebus I'd be livid. Especially if my mother-in-law did it I'd be so farking pissed

Take them out if you really don't want them. It doesn't excuse what she did though.

This is really wrong, but I wish my parents has pierced my ears when I was little so I wouldn't have to deal with that now

#46 For the name WisestOfWise, your pretty dense. If you aren't even trying to think of it from more than an initial point of view, then you have no argument in a debate. In other words...Just shut up and get out BEFORE making a fool of yourself.

Wow. I would never let her touch my daughter again if I were you. That is so wrong.

I am of the mindset that piercings are personally as pleasing as graffiti on the side of a temple. Even though southern Italians pierce little girls at 6 weeks, and I should have been, I am glad I never was as I would be angry and try to undo it. I do not agree with ear piercings on a young one that may decide they don't want it but didn't have a choice. Actually, I feel the same about circumcisions. Course, I had my ear cut off my face and sewn back on to get to a tumor, but that's medically needed.
