Mom Promises Daughter a Piercing, Boyfriend Disagrees

Meet Maria, a high school junior who lost her father when she was 10 and has been battling depression ever since. Her mom (36f) made a deal with Maria: if she could improve her grades, she’d be allowed to get a septum piercing for her birthday. Sounds like a fair deal, right? Well, not everyone agrees. The mom’s boyfriend, Logan (35m), overheard their conversation and was far from pleased. Let’s dive into this family drama and see who’s in the right.
