I haven't seen her in 1 yr and she again brought up circ.  

post #1 of 25
Thread Starter 
I'm so aggravated. My dad's girlfriend's best friend, made a comment last summer about how gross my son's penis was since he was intact..

I informed my dad and his girlfriend that I would not attend any functions where this vile woman was at, as I didn't want my son to be around someone who thought he was gross. We even refused attending my father's Thanksgiving dinner due to this..

So I haven't seen this woman in 1 yr. Guess what she brings it up again. It was 90 degrees and ds was running around naked. She says. "he's not circ'd" I was going to say "yeah, we had this conversation last year. But I say "no, and he's healthy". She says, "who says it's healthy" I could only think to say "the amer. acad. of ped". She says, "oh my uncle had to be cir'd at 77" I say. "yeah because American doctor's are stupid, you don't lift off your eyelid to clean your eye ball, do you?

she finally shut up.

I'm sorry you have to put up with her and her stupidity. I can't help, but at your eyeball comment. I hope that keeps her from commenting anymore.

WTF??? Why on earth would she bring it up like that? I could understand "Oh, he isn't circ'ed, why not?" but why on earth would she comment on the appearance of a baby's genitals?

Whoa. She's really rude. Sorry you had to deal with her.

I think I would've gotten verbally violent the first time she said my son's penis was "gross". She wouldn't have "forgotten" it.

How inappropriate to comment about someone's baby's penis! What is the matter with that woman? Why are Americans so afraid of a natural penis?

yes there is a reason she's 50 and the only ones that put up w/ her are her cats.

I would have said I don't care if you don't like my son's penis if you did say you liked my son penis I would have thought you were some sort of pervert.

yeah, that. That would incur wrath, for sure.

unbelievable. Would she also make comment on other body parts? You handled her very well. Think I would have wanted to slap her face!

What a B! I'd say "shut the F up you ignorant old bat"

Wow. You reacted so well. Direct and informative. Good for you for not sinking to her low and weird level!

Penis comments aside, who the heck IS this woman to u, first of all?

Is she close to you? I mean, a father's girlfriend's friend is not usually someone who I would personally consider it being appropriate for her to give nagging harping parenting advice to you anyway *unless* you happen to be really close to her.

Ask her why the heck is she so concerned about your child's penis anyway? I'd keep my child away from this woman. Especially, not let her see him naked.

What an Ignorant, Rude woman! You handled that so much better than I would have... maybe I need to practise comebacks before I actually have a son otherwise I would totally lose my cool and miss an opportunity to educate someone...

love and peace.

I'd just say "Shows what you know about parenting today! Circumcision is going out of fashion. You'd know that if you'd found someone who could put up with you long enough to start a family."

Or something equally nasty. I am feeling mean today tho.
