What other countries default toward circumcision as the norm?
Looks like your son was just about 12 hours behind mine. This is our first and dealing with the same issues you brought up.
Also, pro tip, bury candy wrappers (if it's candy the grownups ate after bedtime).
I don’t know and am too lazy to google that for you. Probably just BIG KNIVES controlling the rhetoric.

2 yo has learned this neat trick where she refuses dinner and wakes up hungry at 4am
what's everyone's potty training experience?
Son will be 2.5 at the end of the Month
Started potty training on August 17th by just taking the diapers off. First day was at home with Mom, naked all day. A few accidents, but we were constantly putting him on the potty. Second day was with me, pants but no underwear, a few accidents in the AM, but "got it" later on. Again, pretty constant potty trips.
Days 3 -4 were weekend days at home, again, an accident or two a day with pants and no undies. Day 5 was school with undies...4 accidents then an accident or two a day for the rest of the week. Then it was maybe 5 accidents/week, then 4. He shit himself this AM, but had gone 5 days without an accident. (and in this case, he pooped in the potty earlier in the AM, but had an unexpected encore shortly afterwords) We still ask him pretty frequently (at least every hour) if he needs to go. Sometimes he doesn't and says no, sometimes he does and says yes, sometimes he does and says no. Once or twice a day he'll tell us he needs to go, in which case we've got about 30 seconds. Is pretty typical in other's experiences?

We stupidly bribed the 2 year old with a cookie to get her to poop in the potty once and now she'll just sit on the potty for like 30 minutes and scream because she wants to poop and get a cookie even when she doesn't need to go.
This just happened last week. I got home from working out of town Thursday night and my wife warns me that there is a problem with my 7 year old daughter. “Beth” comes in and I can see that she has a few bug bites on her face and and one of her eyelids is a little droopy. She feels fine though.
I am off work the next day and my wife is going to the office. I wake Beth up for breakfast and her eye is now much worse. It is more than half closed and a little red. She still feels fine. As soon as the doctor opens, I call them and they tell us to come in.
We get there and I go to check in. The receptionist that I have never seen looks at my daughter and says “Oh. My goodness, what happened?” So I respond as a joke “Eh, she got out of line”.
I know! It’s horrible. I’m sorry! I have a weird sense of humor and I’m a bit socially awkward. Anyway, we all smile and giggle before we head to the waiting area. Soon we are called in. The checkup goes as expected. It’s a reaction to the bug bites and he tells me to use some over the counter Zyrtec or Benadryl. Then there is a knock on the door and the doctor steps out.
He comes back in a few minutes later and says that the police would like to talk to me. The doctor is angry. We all head to the Doctor’s office to talk.
There is a policeman and a policewoman. The policewoman starts making small talk with my daughter and asks if she wants to go in the other room and read a book. My daughter has an irrational fear of the police from when her older brother would threaten to call them whenever she went in his room. So she says no and buries her face in my side. The police then tell me that it is better that she is in another room. I saw one of Beth’s cheer coaches bring her son in soon after we got there and mention that she may still be there to watch her. The doctor, still visibly angry goes to check and she is so Beth goes to sit with her in the waiting room.
The police explain that they have a report of possible child abuse. The Doctor explains that this was a simple misunderstanding. He just examined my daughter and there is no abuse. I now realize that it is the receptionist that he is angry with. She makes an excuse and leaves the room. He says that he thinks he has to let her go. He says this is the second incident in 2 weeks. He says that her bad judgement got his practice and the entire executive park closed for 4 hours last week and his neighbors now hate him.
The police are apologetic but say they need to do a full investigation and ask if I can come to the station. A friend comes to pick up my daughter who is freaking out at this point.
We get to the station (they allow me to drive there myself) and my Uncle who is a lawyer meets me there. The police are apologetic and say they already know what happened but a full investigation and report need to be done. They say it is a minimum of 3-5 days, maybe longer. I call my wife who goes ballistic.
The county attorney says that they normally seek restraining orders in these cases, but if I sign an agreement to stay away from my daughter until the investigation is closed they would not seek one. My uncle recommends this as the restraining order would be public record. I stay at my brothers for the weekend and schedule an out of town trip that I really don’t need to make for this week. I can’t wait to get home to see my family and sleep in my own bed but I’m pretty sure my wife will have me on the couch for a little while.
tl/dr: Made a bad joke, got investigated for hitting my kid, lost the right to see her. Sitting in a hotel room on a useless business trip.
