I have realized that there is no way we can afford circumcision. I don't want my mom asking around for it either. Paying off my hospital bill and credit cards is more important to me than the surgery so I've told my husband we are not doing it. I really want to formula feed and we need the money for that instead of prolonging the agony with other bills. Doesn't help having 2 in diapers but I feel a lot better not thinking about how to come up with an extra 300 by the end of the month. I would prefer circumcised but the cost just makes it unavailable for us. If my husband has a problem he can just learn to deal with it or have his family pay. Mine has done more than enough for us money wise over the past year.

 | Comment from Mmkohl » Posted Aug. 27, 2014 7:08am I don't know where you are located and how your hospital does things but at mine we don't have to pay everything all at once. Have you talked to anybody to see if they will offer a payment plan for that extra expense? Or maybe if somebody else pays you can make arrangements to pay them back over time. I only say this because circumcision is a big decision and not one I would feel comfortable with putting off as it is more painful to have done when they are older and also requires an OR visit if dome later. It isn't an actual surgery if done shortly after birth. Good luck! |
