Which leads over to women's attitudes.
I have heard women laugh and belittle their baby's father for doing stuff like using Ziploc bags instead of the Playtex bags for those types of bottles. I personally don't see a big deal and have done the same thing in desperation for other peoples kids because I didn't have any bottle feeding stuff. I have heard them ridicule a baby's daddy because he used a straw to feed his sick 6mth old (umm my grandmother use to do that as a nurse and I have seen breast feeding mom's do the same thing). Ridicule for using paper towels to cover the diaper changing table becuase he forgot the diaper changing pad (why does it matter?).

Ok, what I meant was that the choice on weather or not to circumcise a penis belongs to the owner of
that particular penis, not the parent of that infant boy. (mother OR father, have a penis or not, if it isn't YOUR penis, it shouldn't be YOUR choice)
I have also noticed (as has my husband) the belittleing of men's parenting skills, especially in the media. A man's experience with his own penis (circumcised or not) shouldn't be disregarded just because he is perceived to be a bumbling idiot of a parent. You can't argue when it is coming straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak.
Time or no, I'm glad you did. (Everyone likes praise.
