Thanks, darl... It just really doesnt interest me if they got him done, she/they have never questioned us having the ceremonies for our kids, burying the placenta or belly button, nor will they question the other various balinese beliefs that we will do... Like tooth filing... Yep filing our teeth so they are all straight, it is a massive celebration in Bali, to have the incisor teeth filed flat align with others as they believe it is demon like & at the coming of age.. (I will getmine done with the kids) It is a very dangerous (Black magic) ceremony to perfoprm as they put you in a trance/coma like state to perform it... But it's part of life there & if someone told me it was a bad decision for myself & kids... I'd be pretty offended!
So come on all it's fine to say no I dont want it for my child, but lets not tell others they are poor parents for having made decisions & choices different to ours!!!
Lets recognise that the world is made up of many splendid things... If we all did things the same it's be a boring life (you'd all be copying me... HA HA HA!!!!)
