i think its a mothers and fathers choice. i dont believe in it for my sons. Both were not circumsized. Mainly because i think god put it there for a reason. I dont believe all the hype about its better when they are babies as well cause they dont remember. adult men can take stronger pain killers and be at least numbed up b4 having it done. I think it still effects the child no matter what age they are.I also read that they did a study on babies that have had it done. in that study it proved that babies that didnt have pain killers had a lower tolerance to pain when they were older. there are pro`s and cons to each side of the story. do your own reseach and decide whats feels right for you Just remember no matter what a doctor says newborns feel pain so please get some type of numbing medication. Which i think most doctors do these days. At least i hope so.

i would suggest searching polls from other women posted on this topic. Everyone has different opinons but I have 2 soon to be 3 boys and they are/will be circumsized. just go to the search tab, type in circumsized and click show all polls.

i hear they can do it now where they tie a little string around the foreskin and it falls off which doesn`t hurt like chopping it off. Circumcised males are also at lower risk for contracting certain types of STDs including HIV if exposed.. its a ways down the road, but still! I`m having a girl but if it were a boy I would probably have him circumcised.

Why would anyone do that?!?!? Ugh! Unless he had something wrong with him that he needed it done, there is no way I would ever inflict that on a male!

  1. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  2. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  3. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  4. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  5. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  6. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  7. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  8. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  9. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  10. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
