Pregnancy Info HOME

What the hell is your problem? Did I in some way offend you, because it seems like you are taking everything I say personally?

And your response to my original post had nothing to do with the original topic either, yet you still said it. I'm not trying to argue with anyone, all I was trying to say was that it's a personal opinion that mothers and fathers need to make for their own children and some of the women on here seem to be pushing their ideas about circ_mcision a little far. I don't want someone to try to convince me, that's all I was saying, so there really was no need to get nasty with me.

I wasn't being nasty, I don't have a 'problem' and no I wasn't personally offended by anything you or anyone else has said here. You stated, "So for those of you coming on this thread and talking about how "barbaric" and pointless and painful it is, I don't know what you are trying to accomplish." They are accomplishing, stating their opinion and they have every right to. The people who said it did not repeat it and reiterate it time and time again either. They only said it once. However, you also stated, quite hypocritcally I may add, "I just can't stand these women coming on this forum and telling others that circ_mcision is barabaric and wrong when it is a personal decision. So yes I think that everyone should share their opinions but I'm not going to be convinced that my decision to circ_mcise my son is wrong." <--- contradicting yourself. You tell people not to come on here stating their opinions because you don't want to hear it or be 'convinced' and then say oh but its ok if you state your opinion. WTH? As for the reason I responded to your post; that would be because the arguing had died, and there was only conversation and quite enlightening details being told on both sides. For you to come in, pointing fingers (and don't deny you were) saying that certain people shouldnt say this and that b__ws my mind. Granted you have every right to say whatever you want . . . afterall this is a public forum. But why not try and make your posts worth while. You are attacking people's personal opinions by restating what they said as though they had personally attacked yours when no one singled you out. JMO

I'm done here now, and moving on. :)

Woo what happened to this thread? The question I see is are you circ_mcizing your son or not........not what are your personal opinions on the matter. That being said, I think the question has been answered.....and then some LOL

Yeah Krissy...... Whatever! You obviously didn't understand the point of my post, so maybe you should take your own advice and NOT READ IT!

krissy 2006 i completely agree with your comment. i think the main reason gabby wrote what she did is due to the fact that she didnt want to read anybody's comments that were against circ_mcission and therefore against what she really wants to do. the fact of the matter is that it is an unnecessary painful procedure, nobody needs to convince anyone of that! its blatantly obvious. it all depends on the woman and what she is personally influenced by, i.e. religion or so called 'hygiene' reasons. im glad you made your comment krissy because you had some very good points.

I really didn't see a reason not to...they asked me when my 3 year old was born..I a__sumed it was just the thing to do. We had no problems at all.

I would love to hear some guy's opinions on this matter. It seems that circ_mcision is being more hotly debated now in the US, possibly changing the way the decision is made. When I was 23 and had my first son 8-1/2 years ago, we decided to circ_msize. My husband was, he thought his son would be more comfortable looking like Daddy, he thought it would be more aesthetic (ie he would look like more of his cla__smates, one less thing to be teased about in the locker room one day, etc.) it would simple be easier to clean. Now, fast-forward almost 9 years and we are pregnant again and we don't know if we are having a boy or a girl and we are debating whether to have a circ_mcision performed again or not. After discussing it, researching it and watching several on-line video's of the procedure - we've decided that we won't do it for any of our future male children.

Once again, those pregnancy hormones are kicking in! Ladies this is an opinion based forum (I know you know what that means so I wont go there), but if we didn't disagree on things we would all be the same and how boring would that be! Everyone (including me) need to learn to not take things so personal and stick with the discussion! Or in some cases the highly opinionated heated discussion. My husband is getting a kick out of this again bc of how people take opinions so personal of complete strangers. My opinion is that is barbaric, my husbands is just that its not necessary! My best friend had her son circ_mcised and her husband stood outside the room when the procedure was performed and said that he has still to this day NEVER heard his son scream so hard, loud and terrified sounding! He regrets not being knowledgable enough about it! So I guess the idea of these forums is also to bring things to our attention that we normally wouldn't know! Some people are asking for suggestions and like the original post says, sashamama is starting to question whether or not to do it! I'm sure everyone's opinion has helped her find out more info and in the long run come up with the best decision in her eyes (not everyones)! Have a great day!

See Cat there you go again, as soon as the drama ended with me and Krissy you have to go in there and get another dig. That just proves everyone's point that you are a trouble maker, and to be honest with you my original post was directed at you. For some reason you feel the need to tell people your opinion over and over. Like someone said in the thread that was dedicated to you, we all heard you the first time. And Cat don't a__sume things because you know that old saying when you a__sume you make an a__s out of YOU. I could honestly careless if people circ_msize their sons or not. I know what I will be doing and that's all that matters to me, my post was because you reiterated about 3 or 4 times that you think it is pointless and painful and unnecessary. And you have every right to feel that way, but we all don't really care that you feel that way, or at least I know I don't care how you feel. So I was saying sorry for being b___hy and catty with Krissy, but not you. So like everyone told you before, you can keep talking your c___p to everyone, but sorry honey, I don't think anyone is listening anymore. So go ahead and respond now with some more of your c___p, but don't expect me to argue back with you, it's clear to me that you are an unstable, miserable, bitter woman, and I am very glad I don't have to live in the same country as you. And to sashasmama, I also apologize to you for the drama that my posting has created, I didn't mean to ruin it for you, and I'm glad you got some good feedback before the post went sour.

OK ladies that is enough... lets end this post right now! We are not in high school and nobody needs to admit they are wrong or right, just stop the banter and get over it! Stop taking things so personal... you dont even know one another!

gabby there was no need to come back with such a nasty comment. trust me, it says a lot more about the kind of person you are than it does about me! i stated in my message to krissy that i agreed with her, and you didn't need to state who your comment was directed at, it was fairly obvious to anybody. i said nothing nasty about you whatsoever, yet you feel the desperate need to come back with a whole barage of nasty comments insinuating that you actually know anything about me and using the term 'everyone' when its obvious not 'everyone' thinks the same as yourself. if i was a nasty person then perhaps i would write a post similar of nature to your own, but i am not (regardless of what you like to spout and the cruel a__sumptions you make). its a shame some people have to react like that, hormones or no hormones, there is being respectable and then being down right nasty. im glad i know which one i am.

If anyone is still talking about circ_mcision and not arguing. . . I would just like to point out that the doctor performing the quick procedure can administer anesthesia for our brand new baby boys. (Not general) Pain seems to be one of the pain factors in this discussion. My friend had her son in December and she demanded to be in the room when they circ_msized him, although they advised her not to be, and she said he didn't even wimper. Maybe the horror stories ya'll have heard were where they didn't use any numbing medication. Jews usually do it in their house in front of a small group of friends and family with NO anesthesia. I saw it happen on Dr.90210 when they had their 1st son and they did it in the kitchen and their little boy barely cried at all. He was probably cold lol, or hungry. Any way, when you take the hospital tour you might want to talk to the surgeon or talk to your ped (you should find one in your 8th or 9th month) and ask about anesthesia. See, its not barbaric ;)

I just had my son last Monday we had him circ_mcised they used a numbing med to do the procedure he barely made a whimper hes completely healed now and never even cried when he was back in our hospital room. My 9 year old son was also circ_mcised when he was born i have no regrets about doing the procedure for either boys. We are jewish and i chose both time to not wait the 8 days to do the procedure i felt it was more cruel to do it that way and have a bunch of people celebrate it. Thats just my opinion on the topic i am for it.

I am kinda in the same position as sashasmama is. I am haveing a boy and I have been researching circ_msision cause my fiancee and I need to decide. I am really leaning towards absolutly not but I dunno
