I don't think it's that uncommon for parents when making a decision regarding their child to factor in the social norms.

Yes, and I am not suggesting you totally ignore social norms as we are social creatures and must leave within society. However that shouldn't be the sole or even the primary reason for the decision rather one should consider it only after weighing in all other actual facts and considering the risks and possible outcomes.

Seriously though congratulations!  Will she be your first child?  I hope you can afford two women with the shopping gene.

It will be my first yes, and besides the shopping gene, I tremble in the thought that she might be the combination of min and her mother's temper. Atilla the hun, would probably flee upon such a sight

Wait, are you suggesting you may have been cuckolded by our Min?

Social norms play a huge part in the decision making process, so I won't act like the people who choose circumcision are just barbarically slicing up their children without reason.

Ah, I see. So glad we don't burn witches anymore.  

I question your ability to be a parent if you think blindly following the pack is a reasoned approach to child rearing. Maybe you should go back to your bible thinking. It suits you.

Well I come from 2 wonderful people who had me circumcised and also a huge loving family filled with circumcised men, we seem to be doing just fine with our parenting, thanks.

I know that was your point. My point was Thank you Captain Obvious but just in a silly goofy way

I impatiently await your before and after pictures over one week of you getting your little bundle of joy

Its not that the before pics will be any better than the after. I have been doing alot of work preparing for her arrival. Everything is ready and 5 by 5 now, so I will try to rest in these last few weeks

This all deal got me thinkin. My wife is severely deaf (she can hear with her gadgets, thank science) and her biggest fear is to nor hear the baby in need, during the night as she removes them. For the first month I will be there, as dads get 10 mandatory work days off.

Yet, I look at this thread and think.... WHAT THE FUCK?

All I want for my baby is to be healthy and for me to have the strenght to bring her big enough she won't need me anymore. Why in the universe would I even think of chopping off parts of my child for cultural or aestethic purposes.

With any luck, CL will bear only girls. This avoids the problem altogether.... or not
