circumcising son once born??

ericazekendan

Okay. Me and my boyfriend have decided we.re going to circumcise our son. My sister keeps insisting we don't and keeps trying to persuade me and him not to have him circumcised. I can't take it anymore and I don't know what to tell her because she wont listen to me. Help on what to tell her??

ignore her my sister told.me my boys where disgusting cause they arnt, my husband is not so the kids r not she actually told my 3yo to het pants on cause its that grose she cant look at it. sisters r the worse for critersising i think cause we love them, say its my decision I dont wanna hear anymore

mommyof3boys

It is a very healthy decision u have made for ur son so tell her in the nicest way u can to just f off lol

Personally, I wouldn't circumcise but hey, this is about YOUR baby. YOU are the parent and this is a decision that is to be made by you and your partner. Not anyone else including your sister. She may not let it go but hey, once it's done it's done right? You might just have to put up with it til then or just tell her it's not up for debate or discussion

See that's what I've been telling her. She just keeps going on and saying oh poor baby, im gonna pray for him, I hope he lives after he's circumcised. And its like really? Im only 17 and I look to her for support because she's my older sister and married with 2 kids. And she says stuff like that? Like it hurts and she just doesn't get it. Idk what else to tell her.

But ur sister is taking it a little too far! She really should not be telling that to ur sons.

Id just tell her that she did what she thought was best for her children n that you deserve the same opportunity. Its a personal decision every parent is entitled to make.

@junemomma1 tell her while u appreciate her advice as ur older sister the decision is not up to her. Wen she has a son then it will b lol.

N for the people who feel the need to voice their opinions on circumsision i believe she asked how to tell her sister, not wat u think u should do.

Good luck mama n ur son will b perfectly fine after

ericazekendan

@proudmommie627- thank you(: well said.
but everyones advice was helpful. Im kind of not talking to my sister right now because I don't like that she always does that. But we.ll see what happens the next time I talk to her.

Personally I think u should do what y think is right for baby and ignore anyone else if it was harmful to the baby then they wouldn't have the onion to do so my two boys arent circumsized but my husband is but that was our choice not to circumsize them no one elses so tell your sister to back off and if u want her input you'd ask for it. Tell her u don't butt in when there's decisions to made about her children so don't let her do it to u. Good luck and stick to your decision cuz it is your to make and no one else's

ProudMommie627

@junemomma1 thx:) i dnt blame u. N i bet she doesnt mean anything by it and is jus trying to help cuz she may be more experience than u are but u obviously kno wat u want to do n its up to u and ur bd to decide tht. Talk to her wen ur ready, it shouldnt really be a big deal lol ur son will be perfect. Millions of baby boys have been circumcised its not unusual

ericazekendan

I know! That's what I tell her! Haha she thinks somethings gonna be wrong with my son because I wanna circumcise him. Yet, my boyfriend and so many other guys are circumcised and they.re perfectly fine.

ProudMommie627

Lol my bf is circumcised n if i were having a boy we would def do it to him too. There is nothing wrong with it, like the other girl said if there was there wouldnt b an option to do it. I had a bf who wasnt n it used to freak me out all the time. The extra cleaning he had to do he wished he was circumcised. Besides ur baby wont remember the pain after a couple days lol

ericazekendan

Yeah exactly! Haha he wont even remember it. And I don't want him to not be circumcised and then him decide to get circumcised once he's 18. It.ll be waaayyy more painful and he.ll definitely remember it. Ha

ProudMommie627

@junemomma1 exactly

ericazekendan

Yupp. My boyfriends friend just had his done and he's 18. He told my boyfriend he wished his parents would have had him circumcised when he was a baby.

ericazekendan

Exactly how I feel. I know I've never been a mom before, and my sister has, but I need to learn things on my own you know?

babymaxisontheway

I agree with most of what everyone else is saying! And plus just tell her that's its healthier bc as he gets older is he doesn't clean it properly then it can cause infections and stuff like that and smell really bad!

ashabash

Umm isn't every guy circumcised? It's the normal thing to do. I don't see the big deal

ericazekendan

Oh!(: well im due june 27th. Scared cause im only 17. Ha

ericazekendan

When are you do?? Blessedwith3angels

ProudMommie627

Omg june 27th is my bday yayy! I hope u have him on tht day exactly. I love cancers

ericazekendan

@proudmommie627- Haha cool(: I.ll have to remember to let ya know if I have him on that day! Hehe

ProudMommie627

Lol plz do. N lucky u wont b preggo all summer. Im due aug 15th with my first. Talk abt stress lol

ashabash

But then again maybe I will not have my son circumcised because at least I won't have to worry about tryin to keep girls away from him, he will be a virgin forever lol jkk

ericazekendan

Yeah I have(: I learned to let everyone who wasn't there to support me go. Espically my dad. Havnt talked to him since like early december. (He doesn't live where I live)
why you having a c section??

ashabash

im due sept 28 I will be pregnant all summer too

ProudMommie627

ashabash

ProudMommie627

Nebraskamommy2be

They will hate u in the future if u don't do it now. They don't understand!! I'm def. Doin it for my son although its sad looking lol
My sis is the same way. If u cabmn ignore her and tell her the decision is made and its ur baby.

ericazekendan
