He swears it's fine now and doesn't want me to ask him anymore if it's okay!Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05858538104932562046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22871449.post-32775101646532548732008-12-06T00:32:00.000-08:002008-12-06T00:32:00.000-08:00Ok - like everything else concerning babies - ever...Ok - like everything else concerning babies - everyone has an opinion, so here's mine.<BR/>We chose to circumcize our boy. Of course it's a personal decision and I feel one that everyone has to make for themselves. With that said, a couple of friends I know ended up having big time issues (they were not circumcized) and ended up having to have it done when they were in high school. I can't even imagine that! Yikes. My doctor also told me about a 90 year old man that had to have it done because of hygiene issues. That's the part that scares me. I'd rather do it (if it's to be done) when the baby won't remember it as opposed to doing it when they are an adult. Our doc also said that yes, it is elective, but if you choose not to do it - make sure you keep it super clean and make sure you teach the kid to keep it super clean or they will run into problems later.<BR/>Ok - there's my two cents. (And watch - you'll have a girl and the whole thing won't even matter! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22871449.post-58146243440760270052008-12-05T00:27:00.000-08:002008-12-05T00:27:00.000-08:00What Ginger said!
