This is not a clear cut issue. My nephew has major issues because he’s not circumcised. Brother and his wife have a tough time, especially at night, helping him be pain free. Says they would’ve done it had they known this could happen.
I think it’s best left as parent choice.
"This is not a clear cut issue"
I see what you did there...
Not intended lol.
The best puns usually are not.
True
I think it’s one thing just to do it to every male kid just because vs doing it for a legit medical reason.
I know a guy who got circumcised as an adult because he got tired of cleaning his "dick cheese".
lol how hard is it to clean your dick some people make me laugh.
This!!!
Nothing like fromunda.
This. It’s a decision between parents and their doctor.
Kids die each year due to botched circumcisions... This doesn't account for the ones who end up with broken dicks.
It is a clear cut issue. It can be done later in life. Let the kid decide if they want to mutilate their dick.
And the kids that suffer in the meantime? I think it’s best left as a decision between parents and their doctor. A forced yes or no is not the way.
Totally agree. My son wasn't circumcised. When he was older, he thanked me for letting it be his decision. He was fine with how he was.
My cousin had to get circumcised when he was about 10 Then again, he'd had a botched job from an alcoholic doctor as a baby which lead to the problems. (Yikes.)
Ouch. I learned too quickly that doctors are human beings and there are those that are good and those that are bad at their practice.
I thought our doctor did a good job of presenting existing evidence for and against it. Basically left it completely up to us, no pressure either way. I think this is important - not to do it out of tradition, or to avoid it because of spite, but to consider the health of the kid and leave it up to parents to make the call.
I only have a daughter and my wife can no longer have kids. If we had had a son though, I would have left him alone.
Should be 100% your and your wife’s decision. I just don’t understand the all or nothing mentality on this issue. For some boys circumcision is the right call. For others, “uncut” is best. Parents make the call.
