[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not let someone as judgmental and clearly in need of therapy change my son's diapers. Just would not do it. We don't have a lot of judgmental psychos in our boys diapers. Just sayin'[/quote]

Yes, this. It's astonishing this poster has any friends at all. Certainly, the second Judge Judy mentioned that was too bad that the other mother "mutilated" her son would be the end of the friendship -- and every parent in a several mile radius would know to avoid her like the plague.

The thing is, most of us who think you did the wrong thing won't say it to your face. A poster upthread articulated it very well. Yes, we notice (or it comes up) and we don't say a word because what can we do once you've done it? If you ask me what I think, I'll tell you what I believe, and if you ask my advice on doing it or not, I will not sugarcoat my opinion, either. But I would not say to anyone, "you mutilated your baby!" any more than I'd say "I can't believe you didn't fully vaccinate (I do)" or anything else. I DO have an opinion on it, I do think less of you and wonder how, as PP said, an otherwise smart and nice person would decide to do such a thing, and then I'd move on. I know lots of people who have circumcised. I've never mentioned my thoughts on it to them. But they are still my thoughts. You can be pretty sure that anyone who chose NOT to do it has an opinion on it. Most of us aren't going to put it in your face unless you ask (as the OP of this thread did). [/quote]

And you can be pretty sure that those of us who had our sons circumcised has an opinion on it. Just because you came to the opposite conclusion doesn't mean we didn't do research or think about it deeply. I'm not going to say anything when I see your son is uncircumcised, but I'm going to be thinking things about you, too, so you needn't act as if you're doing us unenlightened morons a favor by not lecturing us. Because I can assure you, that feeling goes both ways.[/quote]

So true! The one mom I knew who did not circ was the same mom who did not vaccinate -- so unnatural, and so on.  She is not vry bright or well educated.[/quote]
