Quick vent. On circumcision. I understand some people think it is inhumane or something, but seriously I wouldn't jump down someone's throat about it.
We circumcised Matthew, but it doesn't make us bad parents. Or poorly educated. In biblical times they did it, with a flint knife, without pain medication on adult men. So for Pete's sake if I have it done to my son when he is young and won't remember the pain? I understand it is his body. But I doubt he is going to say "mom I wish you wouldn't have had me circumcised." He looks like his father.
Just like I don't judge women for getting an abortion. I wouldn't ever choose it for myself, and it makes me want to cry and feel sick to my stomach over the fact women choose it. But I am not in their shoes and I cannot tell you what they are thinking or feeling. yet, I do think they should have to have an ultrasound first.
End vent.
I have a test today and I am on minimal sleep. So I am feeling quite bitchy.
Add hormones and the mama bear in me....you get the picture.
I definitely think it is a personal decision for each family and there is no right or wrong way.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that! There are much bigger fish to fry in this world to get huffy about circumcision one way or another. Take it or leave it, it is the parents choice so why get upset?
DeleteI did research on the subject before I chose to have the boys circumcised. My kids went through way more painful things when they were in the hospital than just that. People should not judge you for your choices.
ReplyDeleteI read too and the people were acting as if I was uneducated. I am going into nursing for goodness sake, I read articles and journals all the time. It is a personal choice I made, and it was educated. My best friends grandpa had to go through a circumcision as an older gentleman...I'd rather he go through the pain now and forget it then have to do it then. I think most is preferencial of the family. I wouldn't get upset if someone didn't choose circumcision but that doesn't mean it has to be my choice either. Parent allowing a baby to drink pop though? I do get upset about that one! (i.e. my aunt to her less than 1 year old granddaughter).
Deleteit's a personal choice for the owner of the penis not the parents. if you're going to pull the biblical card than you should know God is perfect he wouldn't make imperfect baby boys. all babies are born perfect.
ReplyDeleteBabies can and do die from circumcision not a risk I'm willing to take..
ReplyDeleteI find it funny people post without being willing to put their names with it and own their comment. You can think what you want to think is all I know. As I got told, if you don't like what I put...then don't read it. And if you are offended then stop reading. Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteOnly reason mine says anonymous is because I'm mobile and its the only option its giving me. My name is Brooke Channell and my first son almost died from his circ, he has had three surgeries to fix his penis and at 6 years old he still cries because his penis hurts. His two little brothers who are whole have never ever had a issue.
