They're in Canada too often times.

Grow your bush like a real woman and put the 1970s Playboy Playmates to shame.

The comedian Daniel Sloss does a bit on this.

You're not reading this clearly.

I'm giving the answers the urology group told me, and also what I think. I am not saying do it, and I did say I don't agree with it.

I hope so. I get what the urology perspective is. It's honestly horrible to go through past infancy after 3 months of age, so being honest with your ability to do the necessary care is the most important thing. God it was a horrible thing to listen to though.

I worked in pediatric urology so I'll give you their perspective first. The urologist's assistant said the thing to do is assess honestly whether you'll keep up with your child's hygiene, if you are comfortable ensuring they'll clean their foreskin as they grow up. My friend says she really had to stand over her son and tell him to wash his penis again and again. Boys are not the best at hygiene sometimes, so as long as you are comfortable ensuring he does so, don't circumcise. If you don't think you'll be comfortable with that, be realistic, because boys get what's called phimosis where the foreskin becomes stuck and doesn't retract, and while there's a cream called betnovate you can apply to relieve this, if it becomes chronic and there's scarring, having circumcision as an older child is much more of an ordeal, as they have to go under general anesthesia. These are the pros and cons.

I think circumcision is a bad idea and don't recommend it myself because I've heard a baby crying during one personally and that's horrifying, but this is what the medical reality of it is, so be honest with yourself about what you can do as a parent. It's honestly a terrible thing for them to go through without anesthesia as well. Bullying be damned, anyone who is offended by a normal penis isn't worth your time anyway.

This gives me the heebie jeebies.

My ex can fold them. I tried it with some YouTube video but got nowhere, sort of an artful puddle at best.

"laughs in ANOVA convection oven*.

Actually I miss my old DeLonghi convection oven. Cleaning this thing isn't great. My ex would not go for an air fryer but perhaps I'll treat myself.

 
 
 
 

The sovereign citizens are going to use this as proof their "travelling not driving" schtick works, I suspect.

 

Our Thanksgiving in October makes more sense, am I right?

 

It's Canadian Thanksgiving and that's a better thanksgiving because there's 8 long weeks between it and Christmas without having dinner with your conservative relatives.
