I'm 100% on OPs side here. Grandparents that go against the expressed will of the parents is a sign of what's to come. They caused the baby to have to be on antibiotics, they cause medical issues. The grandparents WILL continue to overstep boundaries and pretend they are the ones who get to make choices. I'm glad OP stuck to her guns, and the grandparents have a very visible reminder that they are not the parents here. All the people saying "grandparent bonds" being vital... no. If ANY family member oversteps boundaries or puts your babies at risk, they don't need to be in your life. Babies don't *need* grandparents, proof is all the babies who grew up with grandparents that had passed, and they grew up just fine.
I love the amount of people giving the "but... but they have the right to body autonomy!" argument for the grandparents but not the baby. the number of people who do not view children, especially babies, as actual human beings with their own wants and needs REALLY scares me
@@indigowulfexactly. this only 20% about the piercings themselves, and they only get that much importance because they ended up infected. this is really about the lack of respect for the parents as the people who getto make decisions on the actions, appearance and safety of their own child. THAT'S the issue here, they had zero respect for the parents, who had clearly already expressed their views on their baby's ears being pierced and just weren't listened to at all
I KNOW! don't grandparents do the craziest things. My mom and sister would always cut my daughters' hair without permission! The most piercing consequence was GENIUS. LOL
comments on the piercing story are INFURIATING. "but your parents' autonomy!!!" yeah? what about the baby's autonomy??? you're so close to getting it and yet so far.
if OP had asked their parents to get an ear piercing instead, i feel like people would be much more on their side just because face piercings are so much more stigmatized. but a lot of people still see nose/face piercings as "trashy" and "unprofessional" when that's honestly pretty dumb. totally on OP's side with that one, especially considering all the harm it caused the child.
The comments on the stupid ear-piercing grandparents were absolute mind-rot. "You can't force your parents to get their nose pierced." That's the entire point. OPs kid didn't and couldn't give consent, so if those abusive grandparents want to see their grandkids in person anytime soon, they have to give a mae culpa *OR* go through the same thing they put their infant grandchild through. Putting a kid through physical pain for a purely cosmetic reason when they don't understand or have the capacity to want such a thing is one kind of horrible. Arguing that those two idiots were in the right is a whole other bag of swamp-ass.
The whole "bUt BoDiLy AuToNoMy" post completely missed the entire point, too. They denied the child's right to bodily autonomy completely, and utterly, and no one is forcing the grandparents to get body modification done. Either reading comprehension, or critical thinking is severely lacking with so many online commentators. Likely a thick, crusty mix of both.
Not to mention piercing a baby ears isn't actually safe even if it is done a lot and the mentality of "I did it and I was fine". My ears were pierced as a baby with a piercing gun. Had to go to the hospital cuz not only was I allergic to the earrings, but also piercing with a gun can cause blowout and it did for me. From what I heard of the story the doctor yelled at my parents for being so irresponsible. I had to stay in the hospital for I think 2 weeks. And do still have a lot of scaring on my ears now as an adult. Like seriously the comments make me loose brain cells. Cuz like my doctor yelled at my parents at "since she clearly is allergic to the metal you could have k*lled her". I don't think people take into account that all a baby can really do is scream and cry, it can't really tell someone where they are in pain or what is wrong. Getting a piercings as a baby CAN kill them in some circumstances. If my parents didn't take me to the doctor and just left me as I was I would have died as a baby. And those comments really don't seem to see how serious it is what the grandparents did.
Unfortunately, being bad with money is not uncommon for lawyers. Also, it's very possible to not make a huge amount of money as a lawyer depending on what area of law you practice.
Story 4, that is funny and sad. It is a very common cultural thing that Mexicans love to get their daughters ears pierced as a baby. But they don't go to a tattoo/piercing place, they go to like Claires or some other department store, and they have these little plastic things you put a piercing in, and squeeze firmly and push the piercing through. They are SUPPOSED TO use alcohol wipes to wipe the ear and wipe the device down, but don't always. As someone who has gotten infected piercings because of those things, it's not fun, as for me it was when I was a child instead of a baby, so I get to remember the swelling and pain. For a baby to get an infection, it's worse because their immune system is non-existant, they get all their immune cells from their mothers milk. So it's no wonder that the baby seemingly needs reconstructive surgery, due to the infection being so bad.
Story 2, OP, her siblings and Steph are victims of Dad's rampet irresponsibility and the manipulative step-grandparents (Dad might as well be a pathological lying deadbeat by this point because wanted to keep up appearances).
The revenge in that last one was justified. There was nothing out of line about it. It isn't about the _piercing_ at all, it's about putting the grandparents in the same situation as the helpless infant they decided things for against her parent's wishes and with no way to to consent of her own accord. There could be no words that would demonstrate this, the OP and her husband tried all of them and the cultural background was used as leverage to go over the parents' head. If they're so certain that piercing an infant isn't a big deal, that's fine and all, but they were told very explicitly it wasn't on the table. A nose piercing isn't a big deal to me, and presumably not to OP-- so if the logic they were using to defending holds up, they should have no issue with it. If the logic falls apart (like it did) then they will wither learn their lesson or loose out on their grandchild. They will never go against the wishes of their grandchild's parents again, and they have something to remind themselves of that.
For the piercing story, as a person who had my ears pierced as a baby, only to find out much much later in life that the reason i had comstant ear infections was because of a megal allergy to my earings, I am horrified that they would do that with the parents strict feelings against it. And while I understand asking two older people to get their noses pierced is kinda unreasonable, I honestly think that if they just made a heartfelt explanation on why they know it was wrong, they probably could have gotten out of it 🤷 and if they're so firm on piercings being healable, then theirs can heal Last story: where I don't care for kids, especially caring for them, and would do almost anything to not, a child needing to go to the hospital is something I don't think I could turn down
"bodily autonamy is important" so the litteral infant consented and chose to get their ears pierced?? Or is the baby's bodily autonamy just not important??
As a kid whose mom pierced their ears when they were 2? I agree with this mom, 100%. I've had multiple infections, skin irritation, one of my ears is permanently scarred, I've had issues with my skin corroding metal into the holes and all sorts of other nasty stuff. I'm not saying that piercings are a bad thing but what I'm getting at is that it's best if the person involved can give their consent to it. Piercing a kid's ears is just cruel, you're modifying their body permanently in a way they cannot consent to. I haven't worn earrings in 20 years and the holes are still there because they refuse to close up. I hate the fact that there's little to nothing I can do about it and it's so culturally accepted that people do this without a second thought. I'm also trans, so maybe my experience is different from most people, but a gender-related norm was forced onto my before I was even old enough to understand what it was.
I like how the second story ended. I'm really concerned about how much people encourage others to leave their loved ones over disagreements. How are people going to realize they're wrong if those who disagree with them refuse to talk to them? Good on that woman for actually talking to her husband and making him understand.
story 3; WHY did the family leave the oldest son at home with the girl, knowing he had attacked someone before? They didn't even warn her that he might be dangerous. That is crazy.
I feel like the first story is so similar to my birth story. My valentine day baby was born 7 years ago. I didn’t realize she could be born on that day until my due date got closer. I was due February 21st. I went into labor the day before Valentine’s Day and had her at 5pm on Valentine’s Day via c section. I was so upset at first and begged them to wait as I was scheduled for a c section on the 15th, the day after. Obviously since I was in labor, that wasn’t an option. I also labored for 16 hours without knowing I was really in labor. I had back labor so couldn’t feel the contractions. Only bad back pain, which I learned was the contractions (I had back labor). I always felt like she might not feel special as everyone celebrates their significant others and my daughter has never had a birthday party because of it. And also I had never got a chance to celebrate that day and I thought I never would. But now every year I get to celebrate my first born. She will always be my special Valentine day baby. ❤
story 4: people don't get it at all. lets rephrase it a little. lets say its custom/tradition to cut of the left hand for some reason, the mother of the child said no, the grandparents then got on and cut of the left hand. now op asks the grandparents to get rid of their right foot. i guess this comes close enought that everyone can unterstand whats happening here. op specifficly told her parents to not cut of the left hand of her child and they did it anyways. this is what is wrong. stop playing it down because it's "ONLY" an ear pircing. wtf is wrong with you all. or to rephrase it from my side i would take a long break for dying the hair of my child without consent. i would for shure cut all contact for ever for a) hitting, b) doing bodely harm in any other capacity. no second chance from my side.
It's funny to me because the same people would be up in arms if it were an infant baptism, but are totally fine with something that can cause permanent physical scarring. I'm with you though, I'd completely cut all contact with them and they'd never see their grandchildren again. Thankfully, neither my parents nor my inlaws are pro piercing. My mom let me choose whether to pierce my ears or not. The only time she said she wished she had done it was because I ended up having a phobia of needles but wanted to wear earrings. She ended up finding some really cute clipon ones though and bought me a few.
The ear piercing story just makes me FUME. I have my ears pierced because it was MY choice, and I would never force it upon someone else because I thought it would be “a good bonding experience”. In fact it’s quite the opposite, it would make a negative experience because I’m pressuring them.
The people making excuses for the grandparents made me very angry. They didn’t think about or care about the baby’s bodily autonomy. And it’s not THEIR baby. Screw that.
The people in the comments section of Reddit about the baby getting her ears pierced were absolutely wrong. What the actual fuck? They were so damn close to getting the point with “your parents have bodily autonomy” and how making them get pierced takes that bodily autonomy away. Yeah…it’s almost like… you shouldn’t pierce anyone who didn’t consent to it?
That’s not revenge is it? Not at all. Revenge is having him locked up for not paying his child support. Revenge is telling that poor woman that she’s his affair partner. Revenge is him being publicly humiliated for cheating on his heavily pregnant, very sick wife. Revenge is getting the doctors to confirm she was in surgery when he was filling out the paperwork. Revenge is her brothers/father beating the shite out of him…etc etc.
The people making excuses for the grandparents made me very angry. They didn’t think about or care about the baby’s bodily autonomy. And it’s not THEIR baby. Screw that. Also piercings are not always reversible. I have a small scar under my lip from when I had my lip pierced. And none of my ear piercing holes have ever closed up. Even the ones that were too close together.
Reading comprehension for the piercing story is non-existent. And the babysitting crisis story. I was 5 when my baby brother stopped breathing. My mom was home alone with me, little bro and my cousin who was a year younger than me. Mom called her best friend, cousin's mom to come get her kid, and she came and picked him up because of what happened. She didn't hesitate to ease Mom's burden. I remember Mom screaming over the crib in a panic because little bro was already turning blue. I remember my stepdad coming home to drive us all to the hospital. At one point Mom made him pull over, so she could get my brother out of the car seat and hold him all the way to the hospital (in another county) just in case he stopped breathing again. I remember seeing my tiny little brother in a tent in a hospital bed. I also remember no one was watching me, and me being 5 and not really understanding what was going on. Well I got bored and played in the hall and with the elevators. Basically like ding dong ditch, but with elevators. I'd put the buttons and run away. I probably pissed off a lot of people that day, and probably should have been somewhere else with someone watching me.
Ok, aside from any family drama, these people took a baby to a place so unsanitary for her that she got a massive infection, from a piercing they didn’t have any permission to give. And you want us to agree with you that the revenge piercing wasn’t acceptable? Here are some facts. Adults can heal from a piercing in less than 24 hours. A baby, sometimes won’t heal from that at all, and add on top of that, that a baby has a much weaker immune system than an adult, makes me a little disgusted that you thing the punishment didn’t fit the crime.
Au pair story: I’m sorry, they put another girl at risk for their own benefit and she got sa-ed. That family needs to be blacklisted hard. Horrible selfish people.
The one with the grandparents piercing the baby's ears, the commenter defending the grandparents totally missed the point. It's not about their grandparent's rights or bodily autonomy, they took that away from the parents when they decided to pierce the child's ears. So OP is trying to make them learn a lesson in the same. I wish people would comprehend what they are reading instead of skimming the post!
The one about the piercing infuriates me so much Complaining about making your parents get piercings cause it their body their choice What about her daughter then? She doesn’t get to choose? Hypocrites is what they are
I can't believe that people thought that OP was serious about her ultimatum about the nose piercings, but I have noticed that the concept of sarcasm is not well understood by a lot of Latin Americans. I am surprised that the grandparents actually went ahead with the nose piercings. 😂
But did they divorce.. according to this story the husband disappeared and 6. Months later they saw wedding photos on social media.. so is this marriage real?
Okay, but I think we all forget to talk about how Percy *didn’t* kill Ethan. He knew that Ethan was just a manipulated kid, fighting for the wrong side out of spite for the gods. He didn’t kill Ethan when he had the chance.
@leafyishereisdumbnameakath4259 that's bullshit. I was more than capable of bodily autonomy at that age when it came to something minor like ear piercing. I even helped take care of my ears to keep them infected free and spinning the earrings every hour as instructed. I asked for peirced ears and was old enough to get them. We're not talking about a nose ring, eye brow piercing, or lip fillers. These were small diamond studs performed by a pediatrician when I was old enough to tell my mom I wanted earrings. Most of my friends were babies who didn't even have a say when they got theirs.
I looked at the original post. It doesn't say "the w word", it says "[slur]". Weird choice on the narrator's part -- I assume they thought it referred to "whore" for some reason???
I thought I was going nuts and was misunderstanding the last post. I mean he was berating her for leaving him after he cheated on her???? He didn't get the reaction he wanted????? And this stupid opsec shit. Who even says something like that for cheating. This was really stupid. He definitely has a fkg screw loose. The piercing story. The parents went behind their back and got the baby's ears pierced. Horrible people. It's not their baby so it's not their place to have anything done to her/him. The nose piercing was revenge on them. Why doesn't anyone get this? I understand why she wanted the parents to do that because this was telling them "let's see how you like it when someone does this to you".
Making the grandparents pierce they’re noses is funny and I can’t blame the parents of the baby as they went behind they’re backs to pierce therms baby plus maybe when they did pierce the baby ears they wanted to be there as it’s their child. I was a baby when I had my first ear piercing but my mom decided. My niece was a baby when she got hers done but it was a clean place and got some stuff to keep it clean as they do scab and you have to keep turning the ear rings everyday so they don’t scab. Mine and my sisters ears was done at a pharmacy 1980s/90s.
As a Mexican, the OP in the piercing story has every right to be upset, and to not allow her parents to be alone with her child. With that being said, in MX it’s VERY taboo to get body mods EXCEPT for ear piercings (and nose piercings could make her parents a target as really only gang members get them). And it’s important to many families to get their ears pierced when they are babies. Also, it sounds like OP caused the ear infection by taking out the piercing when it was fresh which added fuel to the fire. Like he said in the video, this is something you fix by TALKING and not petty revenge. OPs probably going to have so many disagreements with their parents, and fighting fire with fire is toxic.
Story 4: Were the grandparents wrong? Yes, and this comes from a man from a Hispanic family that loves piercing baby ears, parental consent is paramount. That being said, OP’s request was also wrong because it’s just plain juvenile and the damage was merely cosmetic in the end, an actual conversation would go a lot further cus now it sounds like so long as the grandparents meet these dares, they’ll continue to do what they want. No lessons learned and a petty victory at best. Story 5: People always talk a big game and act properly until it inconveniences them, good riddance to her. Those aren’t boundaries girl, you’re just selfish and a narcissist.
I love the piercing story. The grandparents had to seriously think about the importance of bodily autonomy when it's their body.
When it’s there’s yea they gotta think about it but when it’s ops baby not even there’s ops baby then it’s perfectly ok
I'm 100% on OPs side here. Grandparents that go against the expressed will of the parents is a sign of what's to come. They caused the baby to have to be on antibiotics, they cause medical issues. The grandparents WILL continue to overstep boundaries and pretend they are the ones who get to make choices. I'm glad OP stuck to her guns, and the grandparents have a very visible reminder that they are not the parents here.

And those comments really don't seem to see how serious it is what the grandparents did.
Omg I'm totally calling someone a bag of swamp ass today. Thank you friend
Paul and his parents are nothing but controlling scumbags. And thank you OP for enacting karma and helping both her sister and Jane.

No one said he's a good lawyer ("good" as in effective, not necessarily in the moral sense).

Yeah…it’s almost like… you shouldn’t pierce anyone who didn’t consent to it?

Revenge is having him locked up for not paying his child support. Revenge is telling that poor woman that she’s his affair partner. Revenge is him being publicly humiliated for cheating on his heavily pregnant, very sick wife. Revenge is getting the doctors to confirm she was in surgery when he was filling out the paperwork. Revenge is her brothers/father beating the shite out of him…etc etc.

Reading comprehension for the piercing story is non-existent.
And the babysitting crisis story. I was 5 when my baby brother stopped breathing. My mom was home alone with me, little bro and my cousin who was a year younger than me. Mom called her best friend, cousin's mom to come get her kid, and she came and picked him up because of what happened. She didn't hesitate to ease Mom's burden. I remember Mom screaming over the crib in a panic because little bro was already turning blue. I remember my stepdad coming home to drive us all to the hospital. At one point Mom made him pull over, so she could get my brother out of the car seat and hold him all the way to the hospital (in another county) just in case he stopped breathing again. I remember seeing my tiny little brother in a tent in a hospital bed. I also remember no one was watching me, and me being 5 and not really understanding what was going on. Well I got bored and played in the hall and with the elevators. Basically like ding dong ditch, but with elevators. I'd put the buttons and run away. I probably pissed off a lot of people that day, and probably should have been somewhere else with someone watching me.
Ok, aside from any family drama, these people took a baby to a place so unsanitary for her that she got a massive infection, from a piercing they didn’t have any permission to give. And you want us to agree with you that the revenge piercing wasn’t acceptable? Here are some facts. Adults can heal from a piercing in less than 24 hours. A baby, sometimes won’t heal from that at all, and add on top of that, that a baby has a much weaker immune system than an adult, makes me a little disgusted that you thing the punishment didn’t fit the crime.
Au pair story: I’m sorry, they put another girl at risk for their own benefit and she got sa-ed. That family needs to be blacklisted hard. Horrible selfish people.
The one with the grandparents piercing the baby's ears, the commenter defending the grandparents totally missed the point. It's not about their grandparent's rights or bodily autonomy, they took that away from the parents when they decided to pierce the child's ears. So OP is trying to make them learn a lesson in the same. I wish people would comprehend what they are reading instead of skimming the post!
The one about the piercing infuriates me so much
Complaining about making your parents get piercings cause it their body their choice
What about her daughter then? She doesn’t get to choose? Hypocrites is what they are
Yeahhh, Not all stepmothers are as bad as in fairy tales😌
Piercing one. When I got my ears pierced at 10 they were fine. When I turned 12 they started bleeding and wouldn’t stop. My ears are scarred now
In my country people also get their ear pierce when they were babies. So they won't remember the pain
I can't believe that people thought that OP was serious about her ultimatum about the nose piercings, but I have noticed that the concept of sarcasm is not well understood by a lot of Latin Americans. I am surprised that the grandparents actually went ahead with the nose piercings. 😂
But did they divorce.. according to this story the husband disappeared and 6. Months later they saw wedding photos on social media.. so is this marriage real?
Okay, but I think we all forget to talk about how Percy *didn’t* kill Ethan. He knew that Ethan was just a manipulated kid, fighting for the wrong side out of spite for the gods. He didn’t kill Ethan when he had the chance.
Last story should be pn am I the devil
The Netherlands let a r word compete in the Olympics no one being straightend out.
The last story spot on I will say I hate soggy noodles also yea it been 8 years and you didn't even make agree on nothing
My mom let me choose when I wanted my ears peirced. I was 6, I think, and I got them done because I saw a biker with a pretty diamond earring 😂
she should not have let you chosen at 6
@leafyishereisdumbnameakath4259 that's bullshit. I was more than capable of bodily autonomy at that age when it came to something minor like ear piercing. I even helped take care of my ears to keep them infected free and spinning the earrings every hour as instructed.
I asked for peirced ears and was old enough to get them. We're not talking about a nose ring, eye brow piercing, or lip fillers.
These were small diamond studs performed by a pediatrician when I was old enough to tell my mom I wanted earrings. Most of my friends were babies who didn't even have a say when they got theirs.
@@HauntedGalMars And I never said it was right for babies to get their ear pierced either
@@HauntedGalMars glad it worked out for you and your mom
I am part of the LGBTQ+ community and cannot think of any slurs aimed at us that start with W?
I looked at the original post. It doesn't say "the w word", it says "[slur]". Weird choice on the narrator's part -- I assume they thought it referred to "whore" for some reason???
I thought I was going nuts and was misunderstanding the last post. I mean he was berating her for leaving him after he cheated on her???? He didn't get the reaction he wanted????? And this stupid opsec shit. Who even says something like that for cheating. This was really stupid. He definitely has a fkg screw loose.
The piercing story. The parents went behind their back and got the baby's ears pierced. Horrible people. It's not their baby so it's not their place to have anything done to her/him. The nose piercing was revenge on them. Why doesn't anyone get this? I understand why she wanted the parents to do that because this was telling them "let's see how you like it when someone does this to you".
Making the grandparents pierce they’re noses is funny and I can’t blame the parents of the baby as they went behind they’re backs to pierce therms baby plus maybe when they did pierce the baby ears they wanted to be there as it’s their child. I was a baby when I had my first ear piercing but my mom decided. My niece was a baby when she got hers done but it was a clean place and got some stuff to keep it clean as they do scab and you have to keep turning the ear rings everyday so they don’t scab. Mine and my sisters ears was done at a pharmacy 1980s/90s.
its a sha-war-ma not sha-wer-ma
story 2: w word? what is ebi referring to?
What's the W word??
The word they meant was "wh@re"
As a Mexican, the OP in the piercing story has every right to be upset, and to not allow her parents to be alone with her child. With that being said, in MX it’s VERY taboo to get body mods EXCEPT for ear piercings (and nose piercings could make her parents a target as really only gang members get them). And it’s important to many families to get their ears pierced when they are babies. Also, it sounds like OP caused the ear infection by taking out the piercing when it was fresh which added fuel to the fire. Like he said in the video, this is something you fix by TALKING and not petty revenge. OPs probably going to have so many disagreements with their parents, and fighting fire with fire is toxic.
Early gang lmao
Story 4: Were the grandparents wrong? Yes, and this comes from a man from a Hispanic family that loves piercing baby ears, parental consent is paramount. That being said, OP’s request was also wrong because it’s just plain juvenile and the damage was merely cosmetic in the end, an actual conversation would go a lot further cus now it sounds like so long as the grandparents meet these dares, they’ll continue to do what they want. No lessons learned and a petty victory at best.
Story 5: People always talk a big game and act properly until it inconveniences them, good riddance to her. Those aren’t boundaries girl, you’re just selfish and a narcissist.
The baby ear got infected. Not cosmetic.
Cosmetic? The baby had infected ears!
@@slimecorn”She got over the infection and the damage to her poor little ear was only cosmetic”
