to think my dsis should stop blaming my DD for DN getting her nose pierced?

So my DD ages 23 came back home for 3 weeks over Christmas, her and my niece Hannah who is 18 went out for dinner and have a few drinks and decided to get some piercings done.

My DD got 3 piercings in her ear and Hannah got her nose done.

Dsis said to my DD about a week later - "By the way I'm just starting to get use to Hannah's nose piercing now"

When we saw them at Christmas as my DD was saying bye to Hannah and arranging to meet up soon my Dsis pops up and says - don't take her to get her tongue done this time Hmm

Now my niece is not a shy or quiet person and speaks her mind so she wasn't pressured into getting it done and I doubt she would have said she was and shes 18 and therefore able to make her own choices and didn't need parental consent.

Blaming? Really? It's just a throwaway comment surely. I think you are overreacting.

AMumInScotland · 29/12/2013 14:00

It sounds like it was meant to be a joke - unless your Dsis has form for making this sort of 'joking' comment as a way of niggling about things?

depankrispaneven · 29/12/2013 14:06

YABU to write "her and my niece .. went out". You wouldn't say "Her went out", would you?

BlatantRedhead · 29/12/2013 14:08

It sounds like she's just joking with the girls, from what you've said. Also why does DD get anonymity but Hannah doesn't? Grin

ilovesooty · 29/12/2013 14:10

Hardly blaming her and at 23 she doesn't need you to fight her battles

Iwannalaylikethisforever · 29/12/2013 14:13

Agree with last poster , wrong to use names unless your own.
Think yabu and bit sensitive .

ThedementedPenguin · 29/12/2013 14:13

Doesn't sound like she was blaming anyone.

I would of taken it as a joke. Think you are overreacting,

ThePinkOcelot · 29/12/2013 14:15

From what you have said your Dsis has said, I don't really think she was blaming your DD. I wouldn't give it another thought TBH.

diddl · 29/12/2013 16:06

Sounds like a joke to me.

That said, I'd be annoyed at my 18yr old getting a piercing after a few drinks.

WinterWinds · 29/12/2013 16:10

I don't think from your sisters comments that she was blaming your dd.
I would take that as a joke, You are being a bit oversensitive TBH.

Also is that your nieces real name?

WorraLiberty · 29/12/2013 16:10

Oh do tell us your name OP and your DDS.

I mean since you saw fit to let us all know your niece's name...

HappTeeNewYear · 29/12/2013 16:12

You are having a massive over reaction and your daughter can speak up for herself. Just like your niece can.

specialsubject · 29/12/2013 16:41

forget it.

although piercing a drunk teen is not very professional.

HappTeeNewYear · 29/12/2013 17:21

Who said they were drunk? The OP said 'a few drinks'.

A few could be 3 over a long period of time.

lljkk · 29/12/2013 17:25

Sounds like trivial throwaway comments. Non events???

Fairenuff · 29/12/2013 17:25

Doesn't sound like blame to me either. It sounds like what would commonly be referred to these days as 'banter'.

Alisvolatpropiis · 29/12/2013 17:32

Yabu and a bit touchy.

Also - bit off for you to have named your niece in this.

gordyslovesheep · 29/12/2013 17:39

oh she's not blaming just leg pulling - there may still be some grips available in the sales
