And I am not an "anti-circ" person either. I've never even seen an uncircumcized man. But there's just too much power play in there to make me comfortable either. Better cleaning habits, Gold Bond powder, the mom allying herself with her new honey and his values and against her ex, the father of her child. There are many issues that are probably in there.
And the father may want to exert some influence over his own child's upbringing, which he might feel is lessened by the other parents might be part of it too. Or maybe he's objecting just because he can. Who knows?
*oh wait, yes i have, one of my kids, the preemie, didn't get circed until he was several months old, during an operation for hernias. I'd forgotten
I wonder if the mother got a second opinion on her son's recurring malady.
