We did and recovery was fine. That being said, I'm happy we don't have to go through that again. It's still a little upsetting, even if you are for it.
Is your name "Tassie"!? Because that is my name and I have never met someone with my name before! Just curious....
On the circumcision topic; my son was done the day after born and he healed in a week if I remember correctly and peed in the first 5 min with no crying. I personally believe uncut looks disgusting. I would never want my son to be the laughing point at school, gym or with girls later. Just my opinion.
So roughly 70% of men in the word look 'disgusting'?
I never get involved in these kinds of discussions but I really have to agree with @WashingtonQueen, you are an idiot.
Haha ok I'm a bitch for stating I think it's disgusting. It is disgusting in my opinion. Dh agreed with me and my son is cut. He is fine with it and I doubt he'll ever complain. You all are on some hormonal high horses. Obviously this topic isn't for you if you don't want to hear anyone else's opinions.
As for a moron, you know nothing about me. It's pretty easy to sit and troll all day making assumptions about my mental capacity based off an opinion, doesn't mean a damn thing to me. Enjoy your day trolling "ladies".

I also think vernix is gross and umbilical cords; disgusting. But as an adult, an uncut penis is not attractive to me. I think it looks... Gross. So I chose to circumcise my son. End of story. Jesus, let's take this way out there and make a huge deal because my opinion of what looks gross to me really bothers you. ::eye roll::

Do you have any respect for the human body and the numerous structures and functions it has and preforms? It's pretty fucking cool!
Vernix is anti microbial and protects a newborn from the assault of bacteria right after birth.
The umbilical cord is filled with something called whartons jelly that helps keep it from being compressed or tied in tight knots so as not to compromise blood flow.
The foreskin is filled with nerve endings and helps prevent chafing during sex.
These things have functions and are miracles of evolution, your "disgusting" label is so confusing to me.
JFC @joules235, could you please stop with all the scientific knowledge and logic?! Because it's just too icky for my preshus wittle eyezzzz!!
I see that @monotonetwo doesn't discriminate in her trolling. She likes to piss everyone off!
You know, I always just assumed we would because that was just like the standard for people my age. But, when I was pg with my son, it turned out my husband was strongly against it even though he is. He just couldn't wrap his head around a cosmetic surgery...and figured our son could choose to do it later. And, I did more research and in 2011 it wasn't being recommended in either direction.So between that and the fact that there is a strong anti-movement here within the Boston medical community, we didn't do it.
I will say I wasted a lot of time worrying about this while pg. And, I have not regretted that decision once. Especially since the trend nationally is to not do it. These kids won't be the exception to the norm. But, I do think it is a personal decision and I can see where people come out on the other side of the decision. These were just our reasons.

Your "opinion" is actually an insult to anyone who is uncircumcised, and to anyone who chose not to circumcise as you just called them or their baby son "gross". You are entitled to your opinion (just like the people on the which-name-sounds-better-thread), but perhaps you could try not to be such an asshole about it. This is obviously a vanity issue for you (which is superficial) and that was a bitchy thing to say.
It's a personal choice that should be made in consultation with your doctor.
Yep I'm having a boy and he'll be cut. It's gross TO ME, just like poop and boogies are. It's just as bad as piercing your daughters ears. In MY opinion!

You and the other crazy chick really just took this thread and made it personal. Congratulations on insulting a large chunk of the male population (insert slow clap here).
I'm curious, is vanity the only reason you want to have your son circumsised?
I also hate Fords. I think they are shitty cars. Does this also insult a large chunk of the population? I don't really care. It's my opinion, the topic asked for our thoughts; this is mine. Don't like it? Great! I'm not offended you kept your sons foreskin attached. Move on.

You're a peach! Your "thought", if that's what we're calling it, is pointlessly rude, and your analogy makes no sense. Of course you're not insulted, because you're the one doing the insulting! And my son IS circumcised, I'm just not uppity about it.

Wait, what? Personally, I couldn't care less whether or not someone else decides to circ their kid. I just want to make sure I'm understanding you correctly. You are forcing your son to undergo a medical procedure that removes part of their body PURELY for aesthetic reasons because you don't want a "disgusting" son, but a parent who may or may not be forcing their kid to undergo a much less invasive procedure that is also purely aesthetic is also "gross"?
It's okay to be opinionated, but typically ones strong opinions follow some decipherable trail of logic... You are ridiculously inconsistent.
We are not going to find out what we are having, but we have discussed circumcision. We have not yet made up our minds.
We have researched peer-reviewed studies and and read recommendations for and against from doctors. There is not right or wrong, just right or wrong for your family.
I don't get the whole "leave the decision up to your husband; he's the one with the penis".
My wife and I are a same sex couple (two women). There is no man with a penis to decide, so I guess it is up to us. Even if there was a man involved, I don't see why it wouldn't be a decision made by two equal partners, whether they have penises or not. People who don't have penises still have brains, right? A brain is all you need to do to weigh the evidence, do research, and think about what kind of decision is right for your family.
Well first of all its because that's just how cerrai

you are comparing an uncircumcised penis to poop. Really?
I'm saying there are many natural body functions and parts that are gross. You all took this waaay out of hand. Glad my OPINION in a public forum effects your daily lives so much that you've let the thread going on for days lol. I didn't even mean it in a derogatory way. You all took it that way and ran with it. I, personally, think it's not attractive and will circumcise any males I produce.
You like foreskin? Think it's the coolest thing ever!? Don't circumcise your kid! Doesn't offend me. End of story. Move the eff on.

STUCK IN THE QUOTE BOX:
Well, I'm glad my <uncircumcised> son will be intelligent enough not to hang out with shallow minded twats such as yourself, so he shouldn't have to worry that someone thinks it's disgusting.
Also, "cut" usually refers to the removal of testicles (mostly in the animal world), so I would suggest you get your terminology straight. I know writing "circumcised" can be a bit of a mental challenge, especially for someone with, seemingly, limited capacity in that area.
Uh, you all keep it going. And name calling. Lmao.
And you posted again. You keep proving our point. I also find it funny you want to whine about " name calling" when you told people that they shouldn't breed and they wouldn't be good mothers. You can suck it.
Uh, you all keep it going. And name calling. Lmao.
Don't you see? You're outnumbered with dislike. Clearly you're the problem. This thread was fine until you entered. You're the one who keeps it going, you want it to die? Then GTFO.
Uh, you all keep it going. And name calling. Lmao.
Who called you a name? I simply said you didn't appear to be very bright. You're the one who tried to play board police, God (telling us who is allowed to procreate) & generally being offensive at every turn. You know, instead of slowing your roll you are choosing to act like a stubborn teenager.
Washingtonqueen why are you in the second tri posting/responding when you aren't even preg? I'm gonna keep responding. I'm bored and your trivial arguments are making me laugh.

Lol @WashingtonQueen is a mod. It's her job to identify particularly "interesting" posters. You've succeeded in offending many posters on the boards.
There is no requirement that someone be pregnant to post here. Again, not the brightest bulb, are you?

While parents are free to do what they want, I don't get having the baby circumcised for aesthetic reasons either. Saying an uncut penis looks "disgusting" is just really immature.
Personally, I don't find penises very attractive... whether circ'd or not... but that's what they are. Penisis. No big deal. Vaginas aren't the greatest thing to look at either. But they both serve an amazing biological purpose, and the foreskin is important too!
I don't think ear-piercing is comparable, but I also don't want to pierce our daughter's ears until she's old enough to express desire for it. Just like I wouldn't circ our son without his request either.
I always assumed I would do it, but kind of got an open mind about it recently. DH is pretty set on wanting to and I would just as soon stick with my original plan for religious reasons. We're not Jewish, but Christianity stems from Judaism so I feel like we should abide by that. God tends to have pretty good reasons for telling us to do certain things! But i have absolutely nothing against those who choose not to do it, especially since I was on the fence about it myself.

I would assume that if God wanted men not to have foreskins he would have created them without foreskins. But what the hell do I know?
God also creates flesh eating viruses. Doesn't mean they are attractive.
