Goodmorning nlers, I have a five year old son,his baby teeth is yet to fall.
So my mum in law comes and says is high time it falls and is pulling my boy's teeth.
Am surprised at this.
Shouldn't it be left to fall on its own.
The tooth is barely shaking.
Am worried.
Hubby is an accomplice.
Should I keep calm and let them.

What?

As in literally pulling em out?
Doesn't sound good at all. Where are the doctors in the house? Because from where am sitting, it sounds cruel and wicked at the same time.

Yes...pulling it and saying she has done it for so so so and so and the permanent teeth came out straight and nice.

Let her use plier na

Pulling and not minding the pains the lad is going through. . . . . . Illiteracy and ignorance at its peak.

I will be very cross with you if you sit back and allow that illiterate mother in law of yours cause that boy all that pain.


Wait, what is she using? Pincers? Pliers? Stone?

Tell her you have taken him to see a dentist and he said it will fall out and there is no problem. If she insists on doing it, then tell her firmly but calmly that you don't want such done for your child.

^^^^what she said.

Good. No one likes drama but it is unavoidable in cases like this. Make she vex if she wan vex. Knocking out a child's teeth for no good reason with crude tools is a bit on the stupid side. I am even more surprised his dad agreed to such nonsense. How will they control bleeding? Manage pain? Prevent infection?
