Apparently I ruffled some feathers when bringing up the circumcision debate. There’s nothing like coming home after a stressful day, checking your email, and then feeling like the worst mom ever because people think you’re a reckless, menacing weenie chopper.
I am a weenie chopper. I felt bad about being a weenie chopper, but my son’s weenie has been chopped. It’s a done deal.
I do appreciate individual opinions, so keep them coming. However, please know that I never claimed to be perfect. I’m 50% perfect, remember? And moms everywhere, weenie chopper and non-weenie chopper alike, shouldn’t be made to feel bad about their decision.

Did the same with both my sons. It’s a pretty personal issue, obviously. But, don’t think it will keep them out of Harvard!

I know, I never realized what a hot topic debate this is. We circumcised both of our sons, but I respect the decisions of parents who choose not to. It is obviously a very individualized and personal decision that has social, cultural, and physical factors to discuss. There is actually a really interesting debate about whether to circumcise or not at http://www.opposingviews.com/questions/should-boys-be-circumcised. Experts from both sides weigh in…a really great discussion of the issue!
