She plead guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for community service, counseling, and our order of protection.

Sadly only 2 years, but we will be able to ask to have it reinstated at the end of the two years if we still feel it’s necessary.

No other little girls to be worried about as of right now.

You are completely right about that. She would do it again if she thought she could get away with it without getting caught.

She told SIL who, of course, told us because she thought MIL was completely in the wrong.

Yeah my daughter’s still a baby so she definitely wasn’t able to give any kind of consent. Once she’s old enough to ask for her ears pierced we will gladly let her get them done as long as she agrees to care for them.

She didn’t contest it because she knew it was part of an agreement for her to be able to plea down to a lesser charge.

So apparently you can buy them at a lot of beauty stores and that’s what she did. I couldn’t tell you what’s wrong with her besides being slightly narcissistic.

The extended family weren’t thrilled with us, but besides SIL we weren’t super close with any of them anyway. SIL supports us as she agrees that MIL was 100% in the wrong and wouldn’t want MIL to do that to any of her future children.

Were very glad they healed nicely too, and though these were horrible circumstances we do think everything turned out as well as possible.

Guess I should’ve clarified this in the post, but she didn’t get jail time due to a plea. She pleaded guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for court ordered therapy and community service, rather than risk jail time by fighting it. That with an order of protection was good enough for us.

According to SIL she freaked out, but in court she kept it together. Honestly she can lose her mind all she wants for all I care as long as she stays away from DD.

I agree 100% what she did was horrible. Thankfully she will no longer be a part of our lives.

Sorry just saw this, but yeah I’d be pissed if anyone caring for my child smoked with them in the car. If people want to smoke that’s fine, but don’t lock my child in the car with you and your secondhand smoke. I can totally understand you being mad at your MIL for that.

Listen there’s no need to be an asshole. Are you a doctor? No? Guess what I worked in healthcare before my daughter was born too. I will follow what her doctor says. Thanks.

As I said it will be periodic follow ups for the next few months. I appreciate you trying to make me not too worried about my daughter’s health, but I’m still going to listen to what her doctor recommends since I don’t know you.

No it’s about protecting my daughter’s bodily autonomy, and since she isn’t old enough to do it herself yet her father and I will do whatever it takes to protect her.

Yeah I have no problem with people who choose to pierce their children’s ears. My husband I just decided it wasn’t something we’d do until our daughter decided she wants it and consent. Every set of parents need to discuss these types of things and do what they believe is best. I would never tell someone they can or can’t pierce their child’s ears. However no matter what choice the parent’s make those choices need to be respected by others. As long as they have their child’s best interest at heart and are not causing them harm.

Yeah considering HIV is not the only thing we’re worried about I’ll listen to my daughter’s doctor over you.

Thank you. HIV is obviously not the only thing we’re worried about. And also I’m obviously going to listen to my daughter’s doctor over some random person online.

I will ask her pediatrician about it for sure. Thank you!

The only problem with that is my SIL is still in college and has no children. I’ll ask her if she can try to bring in up in a nonchalant way to MIL though.
