Last week, Farrah Abraham’s daughter turned 14. Feeling old yet?
To celebrate her birthday, Sofia got facial piercings including a snakebite – a form of lip piercing.
Even some of Farah’s harshest critics praised her for recognizing her daughter’s bodily autonomy. But others said that Sophia was too young, that it was the wrong thing to do.
Now, Farrah is clapping back at the mom-shamers. Please Stop making us agree with Farrah.
The Weekend spoke to Farrah Abraham tmz About the solid reasoning behind Sophia’s piercings and birthday gifts.
“I’m lucky enough to be able to go with my baby when she thinks about these piercings and all that stuff,” she began in one video.
In the video, which you can watch below, Farrah elaborates on why she made a series of good choices for Sofia.
“And the company said ‘we’re not going to provide the kind of piercings you want,'” Farah elaborated.
She elaborated: “You know, ‘Your body, your ears, can only handle all four down here, and maybe in six months, you can add another … if you want.'”
“So,” Farah said, “I’m happy to bring in the pros.” Several commenters praised her choice of going to the pros rather than some sketchy mall piercing spot.
Farah wryly added, “And all I can say is that something can’t be healthy.”
“But,” she surmised, “I think it’s part of us having kids, like I’m going through later in life, to reinvent myself.”
just for the record, rekindle yourself It’s something that adults do to process and confront and heal a bad childhood. It’s not something that teenagers do with their mom’s permission or whatever.
“So, Sofia is doing it,” Farrah claimed. “And I’m giving her a welcoming and comfortable place to do that as a teenager.”
He added that Sofia is “working to improve herself, to re-learn things, and I think every generation is different.”
Weird misuse of recovery terminology aside, Farrah then starts to make some good points.
“I know it can stop. It will go away,” Farrah said. It’s a little complicated but essentially true.
“And,” she continued, “I think we should only care about what is age appropriate and what will heal and what will fade away.”
Farah added: “And other permanent things like tattoos I’m definitely not about.”
“I know she’s going back in six months for her check-up, she wants to get the top of the ear, more piercings that she couldn’t get,” Farrah elaborated.
“You know, birthdays are birthdays,” she remarked. “And I think the kind of thing I’m instilling in my daughter on her birthday is to show myself some self-care.”
Farrah is also hoping she shows herself “the self-love, and the time she wants to be with” in a positive way.
“So I’m so proud of my daughter, she’s on her recovery journey, I couldn’t be more proud of her,” Farah said.
“I absolutely love this parent-shaming conversation all over the internet,” she then expressed. (What?)
Farrah threatened: “So I’ll always be open to talking, and there’s a limit to me and those discussions – pretty much.”
“I really don’t agree with the other parents,” commented Farrah. Parents “who allow their children to drink alcohol already as a young teen or have sex already as a young teen.”
She admitted: “I mean, I’m speaking as a parent of a teenager who’s lost the father of a child, a very traumatic time in her life. I’ve seen it shown on television.
“So,” Farrah continued, “I really don’t agree with my kid dating or having sex right now.”
Farah added that she also did not want “my child to experiment with drugs and possibly die right now.”
She added: “So there are definitely real life things that parents are actually going through that are probably more difficult than piercings that can be denied.”
This is a solid point. mixed with some nonsense or obvious misunderstandings. We’re glad that Sophia is free to make choices about her human face.
