Hi Everyone! I'm due with a son in October. After reading through many of these threads, you've all informed me about what a circumcision really entails. Before I found this forum, I was with the mentality of, "I'll let DH decide since he has a penis and I don't." Well, now I know I was wrong. I've read through here and done some research on my own and know that I do NOT want my son circumcised. Thanks for showing me the light!
However, DH is still on the fence, but leaning more toward circumcising. (This baby will NOT be circ'd, I just want it to "seem" like DH has some say in the matter!) KWIM? I'm hoping that he'll 'decide' not to circ, so it won't be an issue.
I've got him convinced that there's no medical need for it. His main concern is the social/locker room aspect. He doesn't want our son to be made fun of. I've read that the midwest region (we're in Wisconsin with no real plans of moving) has the highest number of circumcisions in the country. So, I don't know whether or not the numbers will reach anywhere near 50/50 here by the time our son is in a locker room. ???
DH says he's willing to read whatever I want him to, as long as it's from a credible source. He's just having a hard time getting past the social part, because there was one kid in school who wasn't circ'd and he got made fun of.
Help! Any ideas on things to say to him? Any good links? Thanks so much for your help!
