I'm facing a tough decision...

[ashen_romance]

I can't decide whether or not to circumcise Hayden. For the most part every bit of me is screaming "no, don't do it, leave him the way he's meant to be," but like 99% of Americans out there, I suffer from the fear that I may be setting him up for a lot of mental hurt and ridicule from his peers if I don't. I know that that is a very silly reason to put a baby through the sort of pain that circumcision is, but what if he notices that even his daddy is, and therefore thinks of himself as a freak? I know all of the facts, have done my research, and completely agree that circumcision is no longer anything more than a cosmetic procedure, but I still can't decide. I'm going to talk with Eric about it tonight, and I think in the end I will leave it up to him. He's the father, the protector, the one who will have to teach Hayden how to clean himself and all that father-son kind of stuff, so I think he should have more of a say in what happens to his son's penis than I.

For those who are very PRO circumcision and think I'm crazy for even debating on this, I ask you, have you done your research? If not, at least take the time to watch this video:
