It’s hard for me to fathom not letting my kids (if I had any) spend as much time as possible with my parents.
But, as you know, every family is different and some grandparents tend to cross the line on occasion.
And this young man is fired up at his mom and dad because they did something with his daughter without his permission.
Let’s see what happened…
AITA for not wanting our daughter left alone with my parents anymore after they did something w/o permission?
“Me and my fiancee (22m & 23f) had our baby girl Thalia and she just turned 9 months old.
Everyone in our family has been coming around more to see her. Two months ago we stopped talking to my parents after they pulled some s**t. We basically decided it was gonna be up to Thalia when she older if she wants to get her ears pierced.
Tbh I was never into the idea of it being done as a baby when they can’t consent, like my fiancée parents pierced her ears when she was a baby and she always hated wearing earrings. Still doesn’t wear any.
Just like every other parent that was our decision not to do it to her while she’s a baby. My parents didn’t shut up about it for a while saying “she’d look so cute.” But we told them already no and that’s our answer.
When they babysat for us once they got one of my mom’s friends to do it and we were f**king pi**ed they went behind our backs. We stopped talking to them after that for disrespecting our decision. Everyone was saying we were making a big deal and we can’t cut them out their granddaughters life over something like that.
So we decided they’re allowed to only see Thalia when one of us is around and they won’t be left alone with her. That’s where everyone is still saying we’re being massive a-holes because we’re still punishing them over something that’s not a big deal and we’re treating them like children.
Even my fiancées parents think that only letting them have supervised visits is too much and they should be allowed to babysit or have Thalia at their place alone like before. We’re still not wanting to change our minds on our conditions so it’s pinning everyone against us.
Are we being a**holes that we just don’t trust them alone with her and rather one of us be there always?”
Wow…now let’s check out how people responded on Reddit.
This reader said that the man is not acting like an a**hole and they also said they could relate to parents doing something like this.

Another person said that the person who pierced their daughter’s ears went above and beyond. And that’s the way it should be!

This individual argued that the man’s parents deliberately went against his wishes so he has a right to be angry with them.

And this Reddit user went so far as to call these actions “assault on a minor.”
That’s an interesting take…
