[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh! This one.

Your child isn't going to "look like" your husband until he is well into his teens (unless you are Greek or something. I'm Italian, no hate.) That said. This isn't your husbands decision! You are the one growing this penis, are you going to take a bit of ownership about cutting some of it off?

I did. I have two boys, I circumcised both of them. I live in a place where that is simply what one does. And you know what? I'm okay with that.

I shave my legs. I have pierced ears. My boys wear short hair, my girls, long hair (though thats recent), she also adorns earrings. I like cultural norms. And to those who call it barbaric? do you ……put orthodontics on your children? pierce their ears? Do you monitor their diets? Against their wills, perhaps? Do you immunize them? Shoot them full of chemicals containing all sorts of disease? (I do that too….but work with me here). IF you do those things you are disregarding the autonomy of your child. So you've already crossed the line. I just crossed it farther to conform with the 90% rate of white boys in my area who are circumcised.

As a woman who grew up in this area (not proud) the first time I encountered an uncut one I was………………24? He was Australian. I admit that after he flew me out to Arizona and we…..did all that stuff I was having flash backs to a Marty Stauffer video about wild pigs. I didn't like it. I'm not proud to say that but when he wanted to move me to Australia I said no, because of ….well, I just wasn't used to those bits. Had it been the norm I'm sure we may have had a smashing life in Aus. But. Cultural norms. THey matter. And LADIES. THey aren't "UP TO DADDY". That is so weird. MAke an informed decision. My last 2 were performed my a mohel because they were home births…even though we aren't jewish. I'd rather do that then go to the hospital after a calm birth ~ so , yes, I saw it,and yes, it was okay,and yes, I stand by my decision.
