Mum fumes after mother-in-law secretly has her daughter's ears pierced

A woman says she was filled with "rage and hurt" after learning her mother-in-law had taken her daughter out to get her ears pierced, without gaining her prior consent. According to this fuming mum, her five-year-old daughter, who will soon turn six, has brought up getting her ears pierced a few times, but has also been "on the fence about wanting it done."

Her in-laws regularly look after her children, and so her mother-in-law is well aware of the little girl's "off and on wishes" on this front. The topic was brought up during a recent phone call, during which she told her mother-in-law how she wanted to wait and take her to "a tattoo shop to get it professionally done when she’s good and ready."

She also specifically stated that she didn't want her daughter getting her ears pierced "somewhere like Claire's." Unfortunately, her mother-in-law went completely over her head, appearing not to have taken any of these stipulations onboard.
