Sabotage (hypothetical)

[2lilsweetfoxes]

For mamas (or daddies) whose partner does not really agree with not circumcising, but grudgingly "allowed" the baby to remain intact, do you ever worry that the dissenting parent might use incorrect intact care--forcible retraction and vigorous cleaning for example--in order to cause problems so that your son ends up "having to be circ'd anyways because he's always getting 'infections'"?

I don't doubt it could happen so the best solution would be to watch your son like a hawk.Look at all the stories of doctors/babysitters/grandparents etc. doing it.I think that forced premature retraction should be considered a form of genital mutilation or child abuse and be against the law.

i think if I were afraid that my S.O. were actually capable of doing so horrid to my child, I wouldn't be with them any longer.

But--wouldn't they get visitation rights to the child, possibly unsupervised visits--during which time you would be unable to do anything to protect the child?

I think thats just an example of someone being paranoid. You need to trust your partner. Its like if a husband waited home every night worrying if his wife was out sleeping with someone.

If your worried that your partner is doing something, and you have no proof of, your biggest problem is not that fear coming to life, but your relationship.s
