Jemlet, I admire your guts at posting this topic.
I posted a similar one on another site recently and the whole thread went on and on with pros and cons until I felt miserable and desponant, I was repeatedly accused of being a total and absolute 'savage' and 'barbarian'.
It was one of the biggest and toughest decisions that I have had to make as a mother to date. Should I listen to my friends who where against it, or do what my family says and have it done? My husband is circumcised and wasn't fazed whether our little boy was done or not. It was going to cost us £150 to have it done privately since it isn't common in the UK and that was also a big factor in the decision process. We had it done.......
He is almost 2 now and is a well-adjusted little boy - no regrets now on my part, but how it will affect him later on in life with all the stigmas attatched to it, I have no idea........ ugh, he can blame me if he has to.
