my dad

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 
He phoned the other day and he started stammering saying he needed to talk to me about something. I was bracing myself thinking uh oh... It turns out he was phoning to try and convince me NOT to circ if this baby is a boy. :

His words is that he'd hoped they stopped that barbaric practice in my brother and wanted share his research on it. I swear I nearly fell off my chair, but my father has totally gone up in my respect meter. Apparently they got a lot of flack about it when they decided not to cut my brother. He was born in '75.

I just wanted to share.

Awesome! I hope you let him know how great that is. The whole thing - not having your bro circed, and speaking up to let you know about it. Maybe your reaction will give him the confidence to talk to more people about it.
