Step Sis had a boy this morning...  

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 
My mom called and told me, and I asked if she was gonna circ and she said probably I told my mom that I felt sorry for him because she was gonna put her newborn through unneccesary surgury and she said that one of her friends said that her grandpa had to get it done when he was old. Yea, like thats a reason to do it to a newborn :

So, my mom stopped by today to pick up a crib and I asked when ss was going home. My mom said probably not till later tomoro cause they are doing the circ in the morning : And what really makes me mad is that my mom just started making jokes when I replied that it makes me sick that she was doing that and that ss really needs to make sure they use actuall pain relief, not just sugar water on a binkie. I can tell my mom is WAY uneducated on this. Im gonna give her a copy of Fleiss's What your dr may not have told you about circumcision, hopefully she will atleast understand where Im coming from.

How about you let her make her own f***ing decision on how she wants to raise her child. Circumcision does nothing bad. Leave it da futch alone.

its not over unitil the foreskin hits the floor! she said "probably"...could that be an open door for you to give more information? how about giving her the article? or one more phone convo? maybe talk about its affect on breastfeeding? probably just seems like she is still on the fence!

Two of my cousins just had baby boys and I know for sure that one circ'ed and I'm positive the other one did, too. I almost burst into tears when I saw his poor penis when they were changing his diaper.

Please go visit the step sis and take her info! She's at a very vulnerable place and won't want to think of hurting her baby. Unless you and she are mortal enemies, please go and try to save this poor baby.

Yeah, it's not over yet. You'd hate to find out later she would have been open to listening. Good luck!

The thing is I have never really talked to her, our parents got married when we were older. She is in a hospital that is an hour north of where I live and my son has a dr appt at 1030 in the morning, it would probably already be done by then.
