Who didn't have their son circumcised?

We didn't! I feel great about it. I really, really hope my son feels okay about it when he grows up. 

 

I think I read somewhere that only 60% of boys are being circumcised now.

    Why don't you make it clicky; it would give your a %.  (FWIW, both of my boys are circumcised and I don't regret it.   It's still a common practice around here.

    We didn't but that's just because DH isn't either.  He made the decision to not get Liam circumcised because he'd never had any issues with it and didn't see the point of the surgery. 

    I don't have a penis so I just left it up to DH.  I don't have any strong feelings about it either way.

    We didn't. I see no need to remove a piece of my son's body for minimal, if any, health reasons.

    I admit, I read it as "Guess who didn't.."

    This.  I did quite a bit of research on it, talked to people on both sides of the issue, and in the end couldn't find any reason that was compelling enough to have it done.

    Our DS had be to circumcised for health reasons/birth defect he was born with.  He couldn't have the surgery & circumcision until he was about 8 months old.  We would have done it anyway because DH is and we just figured it would make sense for them to both look the same.

    We didn't.  DH isn't either, nor are any men in his family - he's Croatian.

    We didn't circumcise Cedric.  It took awhile to convince DH but he came around.  I love that we didn't do it and I still think it is the best choice.
