Some parents believe that piercing a baby\u2019s ears is disrespectful to their privacy<\/a>, while others think that little earrings look cute on a baby and see nothing wrong with it. Whether to pierce or not to pierce your baby\u2019s ears is a personal decision that parents should make themselves. No one wants another family member to make such choices for them. Our reader Sarah found herself in a difficult situation regarding her baby daughter and her mother-in-law and wrote to  asking for advice.I\u2019m feeling deeply upset and unsure about how to handle a recent situation with my mother-in-law. My husband and I have a beautiful 3-month-old daughter, and like any new mom, I want to make decisions that are best for her. My MIL often comments that our daughter looks like a boy, and she\u2019s been persistent in suggesting that we get her ears pierced so \u201cno one will confuse her for a boy.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve told her multiple times that I\u2019m against it, and I thought she understood. Recently, my husband and I had our first night out since our daughter was born. My MIL volunteered to babysit our daughter. But I felt something was wrong and came home earlier. My MIL tried to hide my daughter from me, holding her tightly to her chest. Finally, she came to me and said with a smirk, \u201cYou will thank me later. She doesn\u2019t look like a boy anymore.\u201d To my horror, I noticed my baby\u2019s ears were red and saw that she had tiny, sparkly earrings.I felt like she completely disregarded my wishes and took away a special moment that should have been mine to decide. Piercing my daughter\u2019s ears was something I wanted to do, if and when I felt it was right, and to have that choice taken away has left me feeling hurt and betrayed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
