My beautiful DS is intact and my DH is not. He initially wanted to circ. I refer to this as a 'momentary lapse in judgement'. He quickly changed his mind after I provided him with some literature on the subject. In the province my babe was born in, they don't promote it and no longer perform 'em right after birth. If you want your babe circ'd, you hafta find a doc who does em and then pay 300$ or more for the 'pleasure'. YUK!!

Anyhow, the point of this thread: My MIL is fine with the fact that DS is intact, but she keeps insisting that we need to try and retract his foreskin at each diaper change so it won't get 'stuck' later in life. I find this notion HILARIOUS
and STOOPID
at the same time, but nothing I say will convince her that she's wrong. I've even caught her trying to do this when changing DS's diapers...of course this is less on an issue now that DS only provides 3 seconds worth of protest-free dipe changing time.
I've asked her not to do this, but she persists! I try to do the diaper changing but she doesn't provide any warning, I'll just find her half -way done. ERGH! How do I gently make her understand that I'm not gonna put up with this?
Edited to say: Shes not actually causing him any pain, just sorta 'massaging' it back and forth...which I have issues with....just yucky all the way 'round.
