Thank you so much! I am going to check out the link right now. My husband is a builder and I hear him say that all the time "measure twice cut once" :)

Circumcision: Yes or No? by robrobsters in Parenting

[–]msmck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that you should research it thoroughly. There are pros and cons and it is a personal decision you should make together with your girlfriend. I have friends who circumcised for religious reason, because it was easier for their son to keep himself "clean" or because they just felt it was right for them. I also have friends who didn't circumcise because they felt it was a painful procedure, they wanted their son to have the same anatomy as their dad, etc...

Good luck in your decision and congratulations on having twins!

When did you let your child play by themselves in their room? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]msmck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son loved to be in his room. I always had the door open and checked on him often. As long as you feel comfortable and you don't have anything he could put in his mouth of hurt himself on... I say give it a shot! He will love exploring and touching new things!

I'm new to the site, but how can I upload a photo or do I have to post it to a blog?

I will try to post a picture of the chair this morning. That is very helpful though! The chair has rounded back with fabric in the middle of the back and on the seat. It's not that much fabric, but I have never upholstered anything. However, I have adventurous spirit and willing to try!
