Being a celeb in Hollywood is tough, but it's even tougher to be a mommy celeb.
Anything they do surrounding raising their kids will be scrutinized by the mommy shamers of the world.
This even includes piercing their children's ears (!!) as Hilary Duff has controversially just learned.
She had her first son, Luca, in March 2012 with ex-husband, Mike Comrie.
Isn't she so adorable??
Duff had Banks with her now-fiancé, singer-songwriter, Matthew Koma.
"He asked me to be his wife," Hilary captioned the sweet pic announcing the news.
This includes the ups, the downs, and of course, photos of Banks with food all over her face.
So, of course, she wasn't afraid to be straightforward when she posted this next image on Instagram stories.
And, oh, yeah, as Hilary casually dropped it in there: she got her ears pierced, too.
They didn't hold back.
It sparked a huge debate in the comments section.
Another user even said that what Hilary did was "child abuse."
Hilary has over 12 million followers; we think she'll be okay.
They helped rally again "keyboard warriors" who were saying stuff like:
"Just wondering how she gave you consent to pierce her ears? Unfollowing."
Fair point, tho.
It wasn't the "traumatic experience" that the mommy shamers were making it out to be.
We were waiting for this!
Thankfully, this comment was in defense of Hilary.
Although, it did spark a whole other debate.
This isn't Hilary's first rodeo with raising a child.
More importantly, it's her children and her life.
She's got more important things to do anyway, like taking care of her adorable kiddos and planning a beautiful wedding.
Byeeeee.
