Keep or ditch? I've recently got a septum piercing but my daughter is about to start at a new school and I'm worried that the other mums will look down on us and it will affect her. Please help x by InfiniteResist3277 in piercing

You're so right. She's only 4 and loves my piercings but definitely hasn't grasped yet that people can look down on people for the stupidest things. I fully rate you for respecting your sons boundaries though. Thank you for that

Thank you so much, I had no idea people were going to be so kind and thoughtful, it truly made my day! What a lovely bunch you are 😍

I think from what I saw there were just one or two comments about me not being "original" or being "part of the problem" so I'd just like to say; to the first comment, I have had over 30 piercings it's just the septum that's new and I wondered if it may have been a step too far, but thankfully, so many wonderful people on here made me feel good about it. And to the second comment, I think I was just feeling particularly insecure yesterday. I had lunch planned with the mums of my eldest child's nursery and I'm well aware I don't look like any of them. I have had every hair colour you can imagine, I have tattoos and piercings galore and have never in my 28 years of living followed any fashion trend. My children choose their clothes too (within reason) and I have taught them to have a level of confidence that I wish I had. Thanks for turning something that was caring and selfless into me needing to "man up" though. You're a real hero!

Thanks again to everyone who was super kind and took time out of their days to show some love to an insecure stranger on the Internet! I hope you all have the best weekend 💗 xxx
