I have to admit, until my son came home at 14 months uncirced, I would have done it on a newborn without even thinking twice. When T came home, it was a 10 second discussion between my husband and I. Should we get him circumcized? No. Ok! That was the extent of it. Why put him through a surgery he doesn't need? To look like my husband? Ummm...my husband is a lot older, and hairier than Timo. So already there are two things that look different. And he has a big belly, while T is skinny. Is it really going to matter that their man parts match? I don't think so!
When we got pregnant and found out it was going to be a boy, it was another 10 second discussion. Actually, at the elevator after the ultrasound. Are we going to circ this one? No. OK!
I am so glad we found our way into this situation. I am now a believer that only in a religious situation should boys be circ'ed. But, that is my opinion, and as long as you KNOW why you believe the way you do, I am fine with yours. Just don't be ignorant of the reasons for/against like I was!
