Grandparents Pierce Baby’s Ears Behind The Parents’ Back And Are Then Mad They Don’t Get To Babysit Anymore
When it comes to family dynamics, little things can stir up trust issues. For one family, it was the grandparents who thought they knew what’s best for their 9-month-old granddaughter, even if that meant going against the parents’ will.
“We basically decided it was gonna be up to Thalia when she’s older if she wants to get her ears pierced,” wrote the dad of the baby named Thalia in a post on r/AITA. But the grandparents were so persistent that even after Thalia’s mom and dad told them a solid “no” to the idea, they did it nevertheless.
The disagreeable move was destined to cause family drama that resulted in the grandparents being allowed to only have supervised visits with Thalia. Let’s read the complex story in full below and hit us with what you think about the whole situation in the comment section.

And this is what people had to comment on the whole situation
I'd remove the earrings and make sure the grandparents see the unadorned ears the next time they visit.
Child abuse. Assault. Pissed that you are not allowed to see the child/victim without supervision anymore?! Kiss the parents feet and thank them everyday for not getting you arrested!
I think it was right not to cut off contact forever, but not being allowed to have alone-time with the child is the least thing the grandparents should have anticipated. What were they thinking??
They were only thinking of themselves and their own wishes ... or were't thinking at all
