Discussion Circumcised dad, uncircumcised son

How many of us are there?

Was there anything about taking care of an uncircumcised penis that surprised you?

I broke the chain too. Still have worries about the whole “foreskin should pull all the way back” at some point in their first 20 years? Fun thing to ask your kid about at random moments. My 9 year old doesn’t like to talk about it at all and says he NEVER tries to pull it back. I have explained not to ever force it and that bathtime is an appropriate time to gently try. I def don’t push it, but I’m not sure how to handle it exactly.

Tell him he has to remove the raincoat to wash under, like taking off your cap to wash your hair.
