Admittedly I am perhaps overreacting. But DD14 has ordered a DIY earpiercing kit from Amazon (I saw the notification, she didn't tell me). And I'm freaked out.
Said kit will be intercepted and put in the bin. I can't talk to her just yet as she's at an event with her dad. She's had her ears pierced twice, at tattoo studio, with my consent, presence and money (!!) So I don't know why she's bought this awful kit, whether she was planning to do her own ears again or a friend's or what.
I'm worried that I've been too easy on her, or too chill about her buying stuff online (e.g. clothes from Vinted) and I'm also worried that I might lose my cool with her when I see her.
Obviously I need to ask her what she thought she was doing (and listen to her answers). I don't think I'm being unreasonable to be filled with horror at the thought of her trying to use this kit - am I? - but I also don't want to shut her down about this or anything else she's up to.
Guess I'm not sure how to handle it, and also worried I've been giving her too much freedom with things like the double ear piercing. She's usually really open (to the point of bluntness) with me and I don't want to come across too heavy handed, buy I also really want her to know that blasting a cheap and nasty earring into her own ear is a terrible idea.
Aaaaaaaagh.
