AIBU to refuse my mother-in-law keeping my daughter's first tooth?

[GalileoFigaro]

DD just turned 7 has a wobbly tooth. Her first one.
My smother in law said that she was going to pull it out for her when she next saw her AND she was going to keep it in her little box where she has all her 3 children's milk teeth.

AIBU to say no she isn't? I feel that the tooth shouldn't be pulled and will fall out when it's good and ready. Also I'd quite like to keep my own child's tooth as a keepsake (a lot of mums do that, right?

AIBU and being precious or is MiL overstepping?

Ok contacting the police would have been an overreaction. I’m rereading all the Cormoran Strike books and my comment might have been a bit influenced by the current storyline…

Chuck them in the bin is probably your best bet.

Update:
The tooth is out! Yay!
However... it fell out and my daughter didn't even realise.
It was still in her mouth (albeit VERY loose) at my in law's house, then when we went to the shop, she realised it wasn't there anymore!

We searched in the shop, rang my mother in law to see if it has fallen out in her house. She said she hadnt seen it. (I believe her)

We're going to look in dad's work truck. If it isn't there it's lost and gone forever.

On the plus side, at least the Mother in law doesn't get to keep it hahaha!

Will the tooth fairy acceot a note and a little story explaining what happened? I think she should, right ;)

She’ll absolutely accept a note. My child has swallowed two teeth, the tooth fairy still visited because they actually have little bells that go off when a tooth comes out so they know to start looking for it. The note will be fine, she understands 😉

Yep, notes are accepted!

I remember one of mine came out and went down the plug hole when I was cleaning my teeth, the next morning the money was in the sink - maybe there's a way you can have some fun with it?

Your MIL stole the tooth clearly so I hope she’s paying the tooth fairy 😂

Returning to the thread to share that I just found a little container with two little teeth in it when searching for some paperclips in DH stationary drawer. I just stared at them in morbid curiosity wondering which child they belonged to. I guess DH is more sentimental than me, it seems.
