Curcumcision do or don't?!

BostonMom2014 · May 2014

I know there are no benefits to doing it so it would just be for aesthetic reasons. We're leaning towards not! What do u gals think? Are u, why or why not?

We are for religious reasons (Jewish). However, I'm also a volunteer at a hospice organization, and after seeing the ordeal/confusion/embarrassment of the older gentlemen needing their penis's cleaned, I knew I never wanted to subject any future sons to that. It was very sad to see the confusion and embarrassment as the men got cleaned. You will find studies that go both ways. Educate yourself and come to your own conclusion. Bc at the end of the day it's yours an YH's call.

Some people will create drama over anything. They just don't know how to say something nice or say nothing at all. Guess they were raised to be rude, I dont worry about people like that. I've done tons of research, but personal opinions are helpful. Thanks ladies.

Jenrileysmom · May 2014

We will be doing a circumcision.

Peaece13 · May 2014

We are, DS and DH are, so this LO will be as well.

FrodaBaggins · May 2014

Since we're having a boy I asked my husband to make the decision and he decided yes. I didn't think twice about it.

BostonMom2014 · May 2014

Lol

BostonMom2014 · May 2014

Lol to the video, don't know why it didn't reply to that!

lookame3639 · May 2014

Well there's some benefit to a circumcision, there's a slightly higher risk of HIV and a slightly higher risk or uti, however it's very slight for uncircumcised penises.

we had DS circumcised. ..actually everything happened so fast i don't remember saying yes circumcise him. He went to the NICU and came back the next day around noon tired and circumcised. Ex wanted it done though and I'm pretty sure if this LO was a boy FI would want it done too.

It's really a personal choice. If you feel comfortable with having it done then go ahead and do it if you feel more comfortable for him to not be then don't do it.

BostonMom2014 · May 2014

I care cuz my son will be growing up in this generation & I care about how he'll feel as he gets older. & yes it is rude to post when u just have a rude comment & no helpful advice. Why should anything be "hot button" if a mom has a question she should feel free to ask.

salsy2012 · May 2014

Dear OP,
First off, repeat after me-
"No one is attacking me. I just brought up a controversial issue that people will disagree on."

And secondly, I agree with PPs. It's not about being rude. People will disagree on this subject. But other peoples opinions about your son's genitals really shouldn't influence you. It's YOUR decision. No right or wrong answer here.

ETA: we will be circumsizing our son. My husband and I agreed to this mutually.

OK.... clearly you're new here. I'll humour you first.

We did it, because diabetes runs in our family and there can be complications associated with that when a male is un-circed. There are studies for and against it, do what you want.

Now, for an education. You have like, 10 posts. So you're new here. Lurk first and get to know a board for like 30 seconds, and you'll learn this is a huge hot button topic. You didn't ask for advice, you said your mind was made up and just wanted opinions, so your question alone is begging for drama. Ironic since you chastise others for starting it. You jump in here, brand spanking new, ignore the search bar, and ask a really loaded question.

If you can't take the heat, get out of the damned kitchen.

The Bump: do or dont?

1. Bring up a Dead Horse for beating

2. Get upset about the lack of enthusiasm

You decide.

Oh dear.

If you think any of these responses were rude, then maybe a thicker skin is in order.

People telling you how it is isn't rude...it's life.

Maybe just get used to it?

ungraceful13 · May 2014

We made the decision not to do it. DH is but we discussed the pros and cons and decided not to.

Nuclearcupcake · May 2014

My boys are circumcized, I left it up to their daddy in the end because I was pretty much taking a shot in the dark since I don't have a penis. Also, whoa there they weren't rude at all. Maybe you should lurk more?
Edit: mobile bumping is hard

We will not be. Hubby is not and I have no interest in doing it.

salsy2012 · May 2014

I feel like OP just ditched this thread.

BostonMom2014 · May 2014

Maybe it was removed, there were a few that weren't helpful & yet some more keep coming. again thanks to the helpful posters. People r exposed to others so although I'm not going to base my decisions soley on other's opinions it is good to get opinions. yes my son may care a bit what others have to say, just like every other teenager in the world.

BostonMom2014 · May 2014

Yes, I want opinions on whether ur choosing curcumcision, not ur opinion on my question. Wtf is wrong with people?

She returned! And also, about 59% (roughly) of your response didn't make one damn lick of sense to me.

Form coherent sentences so that we can respond appropriately.

BostonMom2014 · May 2014

Actually all of those were coherent sentences. Again, don't some of u have better things to do than post rude comments?

Not really. I'm a jerk, and its thunderstorming outside.

I see you didn't use your break from the bump to learn the difference between "u" and "you". Pity.

Or r and are. Am I the only one who can tell the age or education level of people by how they type?

BostonMom2014 · May 2014

Yes, rude people I know the difference between u & you. When you're texting on a phone normally u don't write out every word you shorten them. Yes, I have other things to do & don't post much, just have questions & searches aren't always current. I thought as a group of mothers & mothers to be, people could be helpful, but guess people have nothing better to do than post stupid responses that have nothing to do with the question.

^stupid response that has nothing to do with the question.

What's my prize???

BostonMom2014 · May 2014

Actually I have a masters degree, just because someone shortens words on the Internet doesn't mean they aren't educated. Ignorant & judgmental, I guess!

Congrats, you have a masters, and still chose to portray yourself as uneducated!

I am a vocationally educated, community-college manual laborer, but I take the time to portray myself in an educated, positive light.

People actually take me serious, because of it!

Seriously. I text and talk like an adult, not a Neanderthal.

You know, when I'm on a phone, it spells the word for me. Also Siri is awesome and I can just speak it to her if I am being that lazy.
