[quote=Anonymous]My DS is now 6.  He is circumcised.  But there is skin that still hangs over his penis head.  Picture a pig in a blanket, with the pig barely visible, sometimes not at all visible.

We have been told that he will "grow out of it" (literally).  But my DH is not convinced.  And truthfully, that's what the pediatrician told us when we first broached the subject when DS was 1, estimating that by 2 or 3, it would look like everyone else's.  That hasn't happened.  Still have the same barely visible pig in the blanket.

It doesn't bother me one bit.  But my husband is not happy, concerned about teasing that will take place in the locker rooms.  And I certainly don't want DS to one day hold this against me for not fully addressing it earlier.

Please, I don't mean to instigate a protracted debate about those for circumcision or against.  I just would like to hear from any parents who have had a similar experience and: 1) whether DS actually grew out of it (i.e., penis head showing much more); 2) whether you considered or actually recircumcised.

Oh gosh, I hope that I'm not going to offend anyone or cause any internet alarms to go of.  But this really is something that has been weighing heavily with DH for many years, and I'm feeling increasingly worried about this.  [/quote]
