[*elizabeths-mum*]

There have been a couple of news articles in the last week saying it's a practice we should be revisiting...

Those debates have got the chop

It's mutilation, but if you have been mutilated you could possibly be more accepting of the practice.

I think....... if you need one, get one, if you don't, don't.

My eldest wasn't but at 18 months needed it so we opted for second boy to have it at 5 days.

My son was done only because my ex husband wanted him done.

My grandson was done for medical reasons.

a friend of mine recently had it done at 36. his doctor advised him to do so and he complied and said it solved his problems and is very pleased (not excited , pleased ) with the outcome. i really wish he didn't tell me at the time  as i was unwell that day and it made me think of surgical procedures in general

I don't know are we, it sounds like fun.

Well just because some people get appendicitis it doesn't mean we she all have our appendix removed 🙂

'Are we due for a circumcision debate?'

Will the discussion go on ad infinitum, or will there be a cut off  ?
