In the US , it’s a parental choice. There are no significant medical benefits for doing or not doing it. So outside of religion there are no absolute reasons. There is 20 ways to prevent STDs. If you put yourself in situations where you can get it, this is not going to help you

So work with your wife and make a decision.

Thanks!

What’s the point of doing it? Benefits are minimal. If you want your son to be “one of the boys” when in the locker room, sure - do it. If you’re concerned that you’re cutting off a piece of your baby’s skin for a minimally proven reason, then don’t do it.

I’m obviously biased. But your beliefs drive it.

Currently sitting in my sweatpants with a full groutfit. Rediscovered a pair of blue sweatpants that I left at my parent’s place during the holidays and brought that back. Have a similarly colored soft blue hoodie that I wear with it. Now I alternate between my groutfit and bloutfit biweekly to synchronize with my laundry schedule. I go outside wearing it too. Should I be proud or concerned???

For context, my wife, once she’s done with maternity leave, will only work 25-30 hours a week.

I'm Becky and I teach in a play-based public school preschool in Minnesota. This is my 24th year, all in 0-5 and parent ed!

Im a RN and took on a new role working in Home Health. I chose this position because My husband & I recently moved to PA with our 2 kids (1&3), with no family available for his residency program with a hospital. If you know that life, I’m pretty much the main parent for our kids. I don’t want to work in the hospital/floor work anymore; nor do I believe the hrs are flexible enough. I need a job that’s flexible for the kids but pays >$44/hr. Maybe remote or hybrid? Please help w/ suggestions.

Advice and/or consolation anyone? My wife and I (both above average health 30year olds) were trying for 11 months before getting pregnant and then had a week 5 early miscarriage a few months back. If the stress and surprise of just how difficult it apparently is to get pregnant wasn’t enough, the miscarriage put us over. We got back to it and have been trying for the last 2 months again, still no luck. We’re freaking out… all we want is a family. Any similar stories? Advice? 😢
