None of the males in this household are circ'd. I've never asked my in-laws why they chose not to cut their sons, and I'm not about to, my mother-in-law would likely not be interested in having that conversation.

We were thinking about it when I was pregnant with our oldest, but that was right when AHS stopped covering it, so we declined the procedure due to cost at the time. I doubt any future grandsons will be circ'd - my oldest was in the ER having an injury seen to from football, and they brought a baby boy through to be circ'd (small town hospital, circumcisions performed in the "trauma" room in the ER, prior to discharge of mom/infant). He asked me what was going on since mom was clearly still a patient, so I told him I figured a circumcision was about to take place. Up to that point, he had no real opinion on the matter.

And then they started, and baby started screaming and he was utterly horrified. Vowed then and there if he had a son, it was not something that would be done to his child.

I don't see the point to them beyond medical necessity. However, that's generally as far into the topic as I go because it's not something that affects me. Knowing what I know now versus the absolute dearth of knowledge I had on the procedure when my oldest was born, if we had it to do all over again, they still would not be circ'd.
