Can't yuou read? It is exactly the contrary:

'The risks include pain and a low risk of bleeding or infection. These risks are HIGHER for older babies, boys and men.'

****Then don't ever have circumcision performed when it is not necessary, in infants or in boys or in men.

And, BTW this is all voluntary, NOBODY FORCES ANYBODY TO UNDERGO CIRCUMCISION.

****You're kidding, right? Parents force their infants to have circumcisions every single time one is performed.

OR SHOULD PARENTS ASK THEIR 1-day old baby.
'Darling, do you want to be circumcised or not? Please, answer me! I cannot make a decision, Help me, here!'

****The answer, if the infant had any idea what was coming & could communicate this, would be No.

You are kind of CRAZY !

****I think the same about anyone who would allow a knife to be taken to an infant unnecessarily. The heinousness of this act is camouflaged by the fact that it is socially acceptable, although it is becoming less so.

Yes, I chose to have everything taken out due to the risks
involved of leaving the ovaries in. I was actually pregnant at the time of this discovery and elected to continue the pregnancy (against medical advice) and had the surgery done afterwards.

There are risks with EVERYTHING. I only use it occasionally

The risks of posting
GF- I am sorry you were ganged up on here. Happens frequently. It's easy to judge others as we sit back in our chairs, comparing other families to our own. Can't say I'm not guilty of doing the same.

Your question was about the key, not about the situation and all it may entail. Unfortunately most people chose to question the details around your family situation. You owe no one an explanation.

My thoughts on the key: You did the right thing. His place of residence will no longer be at your house, but at your daughter's house. Therefore, he should only have a key to her house.

Having known the risks up front, I decided
myself never to have a child after 30 even. I had my first at 21 and then my daughter was born when I was 29. I just had always heard the risks and did not want to take them myself. Everyone can do what they want but the older here is not always the better.

I knew it carried risks but was shocked about the story of the Notre Dame football coach who was
in a coma for 2 weeks after it. And watching the game Saturday he has not lost any weight. Not sure what happened to cause the coma but it scared me!
