I am not the one who said
liberal women. I just meant women. When my first son was circumcised I was the one who was unsure. My husband was fine with it. Talking to other women, this is the case many times. The women on my email list (and my first midwife) said that they needed to talk their husbands into not letting their boys get circumcised. I admit it isn't pleasant. But, I also know the different cries my boys have. The crying sounded more like frustration from being strapped down. BTW, my last three boys were given a pain killer to numb the area before hand.
On that note, I think to each his own. What's done is done. Am I supposed to feel guilty because I had my boys circumcised now? As I said in a previous post, I did read up on it. I prayed about it. For whatever reason, felt it should be done. My husband or I was present for three of them. I have a good friend who did not have her boys circumcised. She has not judged my decision, but said if I felt it needed to be done the best way was for my husband and I to be with the baby when it is done.
