interfering cow discussing my baby boys penis

[Mammie81]

DP's family want my son circumsised. They've made it clear to me how 'unreasonable' I am being by not allowing it (not now, not ever... well, unless theres a medical reason)

Thats not the point btw, the point is that while we were changing him at DP's aunts, she asked if we were doing the op. I said no. She made some comment about it and I forgot all about it because no matter what bullying tactics they try, I wont back down.

Now shes told DP's mum, and Nan, and they are upset.

a) what has my baby's penis got to do with anyone but him
b) how DARE she walk around discussing my boys bits like they are commonplace information. How would she feel if I started a chat about her vagina
c) I hadnt told DP's mum or Nan myself because of a) its my boys willy and no one elses fucking business what we do

AIBU to be so fucked off to refuse to go near this bitch ever again. (And she is a bitch btw, DP's dad wont even talk to her because of other interfering things shes done, she makes DP's mum upset almost every week and for xmas she gave our boy a doorstop with her work details stamped on it)

I know I probably am BU but Im so fed up of bbeing told what to do by these people. I wish I hadnt even said 'No' when she asked and just said 'Fuck off' instead.

I have not in any of my postings said that circumcision is right or wrong. I think that is up to the parents to decide. I am just saying that calling them gossips and a bitch won't help the situation.

I think we need to be very careful about using cultural practise as a reason and justification for body modification performed on a non-consenting child. After all, female genital mutilation is still practised in certain cultures.

And even uncircumcised penises are easier to keep clean than vulvas.

at the end of the day its up to you, this is obviously part of a large rproblem with your inlaws, and they could possibly be better in their approach towards you as well,
just to clarify, i was just trying to defend them as they are not here to defend themselves, but i do not think you are worng, it is like anything else that you decide to do with baby, vaccines, feeding, routine, its up to you and they should support your decisions.

"And even uncircumcised penises are easier to keep clean than vulvas."

WTF does that mean?

vulvas are self-cleaning

So are penises. But vulvas and vaginas are much more likely to develop problems such as yeast infections than penises are.

Also, when my DCs were babies my uncircumcised DS's bits were easier to keep clean than my DD's as there were fewer places for errant poo to hide.
