I once knew a Pediatrician that saved all the foreskins from circumcisions that he did and sewed them together to make a wallet. The only problem was that, when you rubbed it, it became a suitcase.

I'm with mom on this one. Two and one-half is too old for surgery that has no real medical benefit. My own son is circumcised, so I don't have any strong bias here.

According to the article, Dad has full custody. I don't see why the mother should have any say in the matter.

Agreed. She should pay her child support and STFU.

It seems to me that this isn't about the child at all. The child is a tool in this battle for either party to get revenge for previous arguments in the custody battle.

I could be wrong about it, tho'!

I reluctantly agreed to my son's circumcision, and I regret it. I know two other men who were snipped as adults, and both said sensation is decreased. Well, it was after a round of golf with a few beers in us, so it was more earthy than that.

I'm afraid I've unwittingly denied my son so he could "look like Dad."

And, I don't care what anybody says about baby's not feeling it, that's got to hurt.

Now for the serious opinion: Why is this even an issue, when the father has sole custody? Doesn't "sole custody" MEAN just that anymore, or has our society become so diluted with situational ethics that there can't be any absolutes?

No circumcision generally means a social life with no oral sex when older.

Not my experience.

There is no such thing.

Grow up, little boy.

I think a circumcision would be emotionally damaging for a child who is old enough to be self-aware, but not old enough to comprehend why the proceedure was done. That being said, he's not my kid, and mom has zero say in the matter.

That's crazy talk. He will enjoy engaging in plenty of oral sodomy should he so choose later in life.

You're probably correct.

What about him? I had abdominal surgery when I was six years old. My parents didn't ask me for my consent.

Most women of all ages seem to object to 'anteaters'

PFFFTT! LOL! Now my boss is looking at me like I'm crazy for spewing RC Cola all over the place.
