What would you do in this situation? How would you feel? I can say, for one, that I would be pretty upset about this wife's decision.

u/MajorOverreaction9 got tired of waiting for her husband to make up his mind when "he said he needed time to think" about the decision to get their infant daughter's ears pierced. So she went with her mother's advice and took their daughter to get her ears pierced without first informing her hubby what she was going to do.

I'm of the frame of mind that you shouldn't be getting an infant's ears pierced and should wait at least until they can make the decision for themselves. But that's probably another, more contentious, discussion.

The base issue here is that she intentionally went behind her husband's back and now seems to think that he is the one overreacting. In fact, this is an enormous red flag that would probably lead me to "nope out".
