A teenage girl has sparked controversy after calling her mother a “scary” for being furious over a nipple piercing. The 18-year-old girl got the piercing just after her birthday and always wanted the accessories because she was “quite insecure about my chest”. But her 50-year-old mother disagreed, calling the girl a “w****”.
User ech3rie posted about the situation on Reddit’s ‘AmITheA********’, noting that her mom is “the type of person who hates tattoos and piercings,” adding, “I have a few piercings in my face, and she’s made it pretty clear that she hates them.
“I thought at least she wouldn’t be able to see them with my nipple piercings, since I almost always wear a thick bra and/or tops,” she said.
But when she woke up on Saturday to make breakfast, “my mom walked into the kitchen and we were talking.”
“It was a civil conversation until she asked me if I had my nipple pierced.
“I could tell from the tone of her voice that the s*** was about to hit the fan.
“I kind of stared at her and asked her why she was looking at my chest. She said something along the lines of “they stuck out,” which is just plain nasty in my opinion [sic].”
In a fiery exchange, she said, “I told her I was just cold and it makes me uncomfortable that she’s looking at my chest.”
The teen said, “this isn’t the first time she’s made comments about my breasts,” continuing: “Don’t do that to your own child, it’s fucking gross.
“She used the ‘I’m your mom’ excuse and told me that ‘only w***** pierced their nipples’.
“I called her a creep and told her I’m not going to entertain her delusions about my chest. She said I was making fun of her and she wasn’t stupid, she knows what she saw.
“She’s been in a bad mood for a few hours, so I just kept my distance.
“I haven’t really admitted that I have piercings, but do I really have to? it’s an intimate part of my body that I would never want to share with anyone but myself and my partner.
Reddit users were split on whether the girl was an asshole, also admitting, “I know I shouldn’t have offended her, it was immature of me,” but added, “I reacted that way because again , this isn’t the first time she’s commented on my body, especially since I’m also a larger-chested woman.
User Miserable_Promise484 said everyone was wrong and added, “Your mom shouldn’t be so controlling and shouldn’t insult you about stupid things. She’s the bigger asshole here.
“But you shouldn’t hide behind fake outrage. Your mother is not perverted to you.
Another user, not-your-echo chamber, called the girl “an unreliable delusional narrator,” adding, “You’re delusional if you think nipple piercings don’t stand out.
“As someone who has had nipple piercings, it’s part of the game for people to notice them. It’s like you got mad that someone noticed you have a tongue ring.
“Technically it’s semi-hidden, but generally everyone will notice and know about it.”
But users objected to this comment, with blythe_blight saying, “Her mom called her aw****. Her mother.”
User Meryuchu added, “I don’t know what anyone is smoking in here. I can tell you that your mom is the type of mom who makes weird comments about your breasts being too big and that you’re trying to get men’s attention or something. 100 percent clear with what you said in some of the comments and in the main post, also the worst thing you called her was a “creep” when she was under pressure for pushing you again, talking about YOUR OWN BODY.
“Just because she’s your mother, no one has the right to talk about their child’s body parts and be nasty and name-calling (your mother actually called you aw****).”
