Because I can't imagine my son strapped to this.
Today was a real big eye opener for me, I almost made the biggest mistake of my life. Mannix is scheduled for a circumcision tomorrow and he will not be attending! I was so blinded by society's view on what is "normal" and thought that circumcision was the "best" for my son. I was made to belive that it was "healthier" and "cleaner" for him. It was all wrong!
I'm so glad that my mother gave me the guilt trip that she did..if it wasn't for that I wouldn't have read up on it and discovered the truth. I thought that it would benefit his health, and be an in and out procedure with no pain untill I saw a video about it. I didn't know that my son would be strapped down..or feel pain. I didn't know that nurses lie to you about him screaming and crying. I didn't know anything.
I'm so glad that we had to wait this long to actually have it done. Otherwise I would have taken away a part of Mannix that could never be replaced. Im so glad that I now know the facts of circumcision and the cruelty and greed that is behind it.
How selfish could I be? I was thinking "I hope I don't have to be in the room..I don't want to see him cry" Not even thinking about how he was going to feel..how much pain and torture he would go through. How selfish! Thank you mom for making me think twice. Thank you for helping me make the best decision I could have for my son.
Tomorrow my son will NOT be strapped down.
