When it comes to making a decision for your child, most parents try to put themselves in their shoes to see how it'll impact them before reaching a verdict. That's exactly what one mum has been trying to do when deciding when to take her daughter to get her ears pierced.
She explained how her mother-in-law has been pushing her to pierce her 10-month-old's lobes - saying she's a "bad mother" for choosing to wait until she is older. Taking to Reddit, she said: "My mother-in-law tells me I'm a bad mother because I'm choosing not to pierce my 10-month-old daughter's ears.
"I've told my sister-in-law that I'll be waiting until she's older and can choose whether she wants to have them pierced. This was reported back to my mother-in-law and her words were, 'That is not what a good mother does. A good mother makes decisions for her children. She doesn't leave it up to her child to decide. Girls must have their ears pierced'."
