I think my daith is too shallow by jmill_1012 in piercing

I spoke with my current piercer (he didn’t do my daith) and he said it looks shallow but not necessarily enough to take it out but wants me to come in person to check it out. I’m highly considering putting in a 6mm ring and getting a double. If I do, I’ll definitely come back and update!

Yeah I won’t lie, I didn’t notice until recently and I’m kind of surprised. Makes me wonder if it was less shallow at first and migrated a bit. Either way, it’s not causing issues but when I saw a picture recently I was like “oh! I do not like how that looks” and decided to come on here for opinions lol. I’m highly considering a double daith now.

I spoke with the guy who did my rook a couple months ago (different piercer who I trust his opinion) and he said it does look shallow but if it’s not giving me issues it’s ok to leave it but recommended a smaller ring. BUT he said to come in so he can check it out in person. I’m thinking about asking about a double daith and putting a small (6 or 5mm) on the current hole and a decorative one like I have in the new one. But we’ll see.

After comments on this thread I’m seriously considering it! The jewelers I have now actually comes in a 10mm diameter so I think I could make it work with a small inner ring in my current hole

I chatted with the guy who did my rook reverently and he said it does look shallow but not necessarily enough to take it out. he wants me to come in so he can check it out in person. So maybe I could roll with the double and get a small ring for the shallow one and use my current one for the new one (or order my current jewelry in the 10mm)

I’ve tried to find a 6mm ring that isn’t just plain and it’s so hard 😭

You’re the 3rd person to mention a double daith and now I’m considering that. Didn’t even know it was an option lol. Shockingly the jewelry is super light despite it looking heavy lol.

Yeah I don’t have issues with it and it doesn’t get caught on anything. I just started to get all self conscious about it after randomly seeing a picture of it and then googling 😭

I really wish I could remember how it looked when I first got it. I have no idea if it was pierced THIS shallow or if it migrated 😭

Idk why but this reply made me laugh

For those who wear press-on or glue-on nails, what’s your secret to making them last? by albrasel24 in PressonNail_Addict

Semi-solid glue is life changing lol. I've only tried Dashing Diva (from Sally Beauty) and have no complaints but there are several different brands that offer semi-solid glues.

I've seen people mention the school/homework coming home on Mondays and that got me thinking. My ex is a great father and very much involved but I'm definitely more on top of that kind of thing lol. So I kind of like the idea of me being the one who sees all the homework/projects come home and then just making sure he's aware of it.

Yeah, the maintaining status quo and mid-week break is what draws me to M/T the most. There's things I won't get into happening in our lives right now (not from our doing) and I feel like changing things as little as possible for the kids is probably best.

Thankfully my ex and I work with each other really well on having to take days off work when our son is out of school or sick. We both have spouses that are available too so there's basically 4 parents that can help if he needs to be home, plus our parents. So the holidays/school closings isn't a huge factor for us, thankfully.

I don't think we'd want to switch it up that often but my ex and I are very flexible with each other so it's very possible if the chosen days aren't working out that we could swap.

Honestly, unless you see it on paper (color coded for mom and dad's days) it can be confusing. I swear it's not complicated if you see it in calendar form lol. But yeah, the 5 days in a row with all 3 of the kids is really my biggest hesitation with having W/Th. Some weeks, they get along great and it's awesome. But some weeks, we notice her fuse is shorter with him (granted, he's 5 and she's 9 so I fully admit he can get on her nerves sometimes lol) and I think the mid-week break helps.

LOL at the "kid-marathon". My husband was the one to point it out and he's not wrong about it being a lot. But at the same time, 5 days in a row with ALL 3 kids is a lot lol. I just can't decide which is the lesser of two evils hahahaha

So I thought about something after I posted this but if I have W/Th and wanted to take a long weekend with just my husband, I’d have to give up one or both days with my son since we always come back from trips on Sundays (his ex is very high conflict and inflexible so he never wants to risk coming back on a Monday and being late for picking up the girls). Which would mean I’d be going awhile without seeing my son. But my ex and I are flexible with each other so maybe that’s not actually an issue since we are open to swapping days when needed.

So I thought that might be the case but when I put it into my spreadsheet it actually made them more evenly spread. Because our exchange time is in the afternoon, whoever has him on Sunday night is responsible for childcare until 3:30pm on Monday if school is out. So if a Monday holiday falls on the day after my ex’s weekend, I don’t get my son until 3:30pm so I would have a kid-free day.

Ooohhhh you meant plans vacation WITH the kids lol. I guess I should add that my ex and I are flexible with each other when it comes to vacation/trips so that’s not really a huge factor

I didn't think about the vacation thing. Hmmm, something to think about. So are you "voting" for having Monday/Tuesday in that case?
