Some good news here for a change! My sister had her daughter on 4/9/06 and while she was pregnant we had a few talks about circ'ing. At the beginning of her pregnancy she said she probably would circ if it were a boy, etc, etc. I wrote her an extensive e-mail about circ'ing and the major regret I feel about circ'ing our son. After that she said, ok send me some links. Shortly after she found out she was having a girl so I was a bit relieved even though I didn't think she would circ. We talked about it another time before she had the baby and she said she probably wouldn't circ if they would've had a boy. But the probably was still making me think maybe they would. Well a few weeks ago she was here and we talked about it.... I swear we don't always talk about the male penis, lol
Anyway, she said she talked to our 14year old brother, he's intact (adopted) and she asked him questions in front of her b/f, like does he get picked on in the locker room, etc etc...and he said no... we all don't look at each other. I guess her b/f was only worried about that. So she said, she wouldn't want to circ but it would really be up to him since it's his kid too and he has a penis
: I really didn't think she would ever say or leave anything like that up to her b/f! So I asked her "If he didn't want you to breastfeed, would you not breastfeed?" She didn't know what to say except "well no" So I guess it got her thinking. Well today I was talking to her and we somehow got to talking about circ'ing and she told me her b/f said they won't circ a son if they have one!!!! And she got all excited and said "oh really?" and he said "if he wants it done when he's older he can get it done himself" Makes me happy that there is good that came out of DH and I making a mistake with choosing to circ! Anyway, sorry this is so long... I'm just happy it's 1 less person I have to worry about when another baby rolls around! Oh I have something else to add but I'll do it in another thread....
