[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 196680, member: 1514"] I have three boys. I also have a mate who isnt circumsized. Now when my boys were born it was the normal thing to have done. Well it was on the first two. Basically no one really even asked me if I really wanted it done it was just kinda scheduled and I was like...sure...ok. However, when Cory came along, Medicaid didnt pay for it and the parents had to prepay the amount for the surgery because it was considered elective and no one told us this before we had the baby. Now considering we had been told Cory was a girl up until HE popped out of me, this wasnt something we were prepared for at all...lol. Obviously being on medicaid...we were poor. We didnt have the money and by the time we did, I didnt have the guts to even consider having it done to my poor little baby. Besides, his daddy wasnt circumsized so what difference did it make. Well...fast forward a few years. Something seemed to be always going wrong with the skin around the head of Corys privates. (good lord he would kill me if he knew I was telling this...lol) Anytime he took antibiotics he got yeast infections. No matter how much we cleaned it, it just got bad. His skin was also extremely tight and small. It would crack and bleed. One day he hit it just playing in the living room on the rug and it bled all over. Off to the pediatrician and the urologist and they decided at age 4 he needed to be circumsized. That was an ordeal! What was an even bigger ordeal was convincing him that he couldnt show everyone he came into contact with his surgical site...lol. The way they stitched it up it looked like he had a little crown of stitches all the way around it. He wanted to show everyone. Try convincing a 4 year old difficult child that he cant drop his sweatpants to show everyone his little crown on his pee pee. LOL. [/QUOTE]
