Sorry Ladies... just want to clarify I wasn't in any way comparing circumcision choice to that of co-sleeping/bfeeding/dummies etc. That was in a completely different context just commenting on all the different things people have opinions about.

Circumcision is definitely a decision that should be taken much much more seriously!

I agree tenor.. definitely due to many reasons including the wealth of information out there now available to us as parents! There is sooo much more! The article did mention alot of factors involved as to why times have changed so much. But the beauty of the article was about how there once was this 'motherhood' and we all kinda stuck together, rather than worked against or opposite each other or contributed to making each other feel any less or inadequate in the decisions we chose to make for our children. There definitely wasn't alot/certainly not as much different choices/info available as there is now.. but just the beauty and simplicity of letting go of judgements and opinions of others, whilst still holding true to yourself and your own beliefs and opinions, and supporting each other regardless.

Like you said tenor.. definitely time for another thread.. sorry to run this one off in a different direction!

For all the families out there facing the decision of circumcising/not circumcising, wishing you all the best with your decisions whichever way you choose to go.
