And yes I know there are flame wars and people being defensive on both sides. I'm just to the point where I know my boys are fine and will be fine not circumcised and I don't believe in scare tactics. Once you get to that point, I guess you're difficult to argue with! Having it done- if its supposedly prevents scary diseases- is based on fear. That's a hard place to argue around. END RANT.

Yeah, none of my boys are either. I have 3 boys. They are all fine! My oldest is 10. He never even says to me anything like, "Why am I different than boys at school?" Or anything like that, (one of the "reasons" I've heard to have it done, so he won't be different??? Really?

)

I figure nature put it there for a reason. Who am I to argue and cut it off? And, they are such tiny, soft, lovely little babies and then to just cut part of them off....

.... yikes! Poor babies.

That's me though.

And I fully believe it's a "tradition" passed down thousands of years from religion (a religion I'm not part of,) but now to make it seem "valid" they come up with all these scary reasons to keep it going. Plus, it's so "valid" that insurance doesn't even cover it a lot of the time now. It's elective. And it's $200 to have done. No thanks. I'm not paying $200 to cut part of my perfectly healthy baby off. That's insane. I'm bipolar, and I say that's insane!

Ahem... anyway... that's how I feel. Others may feel differently.
