I get so freaking upset on here sometimes. People can do what they want with their kids. But why why why chop up a baby…

They did what??????

@mommyof2princessesp, circumcision

@mommyof2princessesp Lol, she's referring to circumcisions.

@mommyof2princessesp, people always ask about circumcision and come back with a bunch of misinformation balogna reasons to do it. Baby boys are born the way they are for a reason.

Oh I got a little freaked out lol @emily18234 @mommyylovesherbaby

I agree @liveitwithlove I just feel bad for the baby boys going through the pain its like no one knows if it hurts them or not.

I got really scared when I saw chop up

@mommyof2princessesp, they don't get medication, sedation, anything.

Because it's what they wanted to do! It's not your child.. No one is telling you how to raise or take care of your child, don't butt into theirs. Do you have a penis?! No I've talked to plenty of men who are happy they were circumcised and some who weren't and wish they were! I would 100% circumcise my son. No changing my mind, sorry if I get pregnant again with a boy.. I know what I will do. Because he is my child. My husband sure doesn't remember the "pain" I'm sure the baby boys won't remember either.

They do it when they Are first born they will never remember. I have a 9month old who is about to get recircumcized :( . I feel so bad for him

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼 amen. @brittanycheri

@brittanycheri, I agree with you. I don't think boys should grow up with a turtle neck. Very unsanitary ..

my son wasn't cut or snipped. they did it diffrently and my child wasn't in pain when they did it. @liveitwithlove they used a bell cap and rolled back the skin and put something around the head, tied a string around it and it fell off. he didn't feel a single thing.

@amberino, I'm sorry to hear he has to do it again. Will he be put to sleep? Babies going for surgery can be hard, but be strong, don't stress.

Chopped up is a awful term. But I agree with @brittanycheri

@liveitwithlove, I have no idea just yet :(

@brittanycheri, that's exactly my point. It isn't my penis. My son's penises belong to THEM. So they get to decide when they're old enough what they want to do with it.

@liveitwithlove, That YOU put them in that pain because YOU sign the papers allowing them to go in an put them under until he is 18. If they are old enough to know the difference, they will be old enough to remember the pain.

@amberino, if I'm not mistaken, my friend's son was put to sleep at that age to do his. You just be momma and help keep him comfortable :) let me know how he does.

I've never heard of guys questions WHYYYY they were circumcised or complain that they were. It's very common that they complain that they weren't and question why weren't they and then when they want to do it they are older and it's more painful and they'll deff remember it now lol!

@nichole_lynn, that sounds pretty barbaric actually. But if people can read, I said people can do what they want. All I can do when someone ASKS is give them the info and let them decide. I don't just go pushing info on people if they don't want it.

@stephhhx3, @brittanycheri not one time have my boys had infections or questioned why they're different because they don't go around comparing their genitals with other people. That's weird. And by the time they're "locker room age" more boys will be intact than not.

Would any of you get your daughter circumcised? Countries do that. If you wouldn't get their clitoris cut off, why take off a foreskin? They have the same function.

@liveitwithlove, well not this country. And they do that to pretty much ruin any sexual pleasing for the woman. Meaning they should be just having kids not enjoying sex. Way tooooo different things then getting circumcised.

Anyways if you don't want to get your boys circumcised then don't. I have no regrets with my choice. I'm just saying it's not chopped up & there is a lot of pros to getting it done other than "looks".

But it's okay for boys to not get to experience the fullest pleasure they can. I won't get my daughter's ears pierced either if I have one. That's her choice. Bodily integrity.

not in any way was it barbaric, my son slept through the whole thing actually and didn't feel a single thing. @liveitwithlove

@liveitwithlove, everyone has there own ways of parenting. If that's yours then awesome! But you should respect others who chose the opposite as they are doing what they think is best for their own children. I could careless wether someone wants to circumcise or doesn't. That's there choice as a parent. That goes for ear piercings, formula or breastfeeding. I'm not going to sit there and write posts about why some people choose to do things the way they do.

No because that's insane. In America that's not do, and we are in America... @stephhhx3 you said it exactly how I couldn't word it. And @liveitwithlove we'd love to think that but boys will be boys and when they are older.. I'm sure they will notice they are different.. Your boys are probably very young.. They don't think about being different.. But we'd love to believe our children will be different but as I said before you raise your boys one way another parent will raise their own a different want than yours were... They will get asked and girls later on down the road will also question it.. Humans are human. It's sad but it's true. You shouldn't use such harsh words and judge another because it doesn't match your views. To each their own. A new mother will get so much judgement already, why add to it with such harsh words.

to each their own! newborns nerve endings aren't fully formed, so between that and the lidocaine and Tylenol they give them it doesn't hurt the baby. it's each mothers personal choice. I see both sides, but my son is, and this baby will be also. u really shouldn't judge.

I don't think it is "chopping up" the penis...that is not what a circumcision is at all. My doctor told me that it's a FACT that more infections have the potential to occur if a child isn't circumcised, and that's due to it not being cleaned correctly. My baby's dad is circumcised so he would not know really how to give advice on how to care for one that's not. I understand that we could both learn the ways to be hygienic about it but I weighed out the pros and cons with my doctor and the pros massively outweigh the cons when it comes to circumcision. To each their own though, you do with your child as you wish and I won't be offended by what you do, don't be offended by what I do. I don't mean "you" as in you the poster or anything I mean like universal "you"
