Circumcision
I don't know where to put this either so I thought I would start here but if it needs to be moved that's fine.
I was wondering how those of you who don't circ (which I assume is a good majority of the board here. right?) help to share info about why you don't.
We chose to have ds#1 circ'd unfortunately but with ds#2 I was informed enough to say no and convince dh at least enough that he let it be "my" decision. I feel so passionately about it now and wish that I had known with ds#1 what I know now that I find myself spouting off information if say a question about circumcision comes up on another forum/board.
How do you all handle it? I find that I don't want to offend or come off as a nazi about it but yet I feel so strongly now that it is so unnecessary and I want to help stem the tide of those who do or who might be on the edge of wondering if they should that I feel like a one person campaign who might be scaring people off, ya know?

Basically, my position is 'It is the child's penis, let him decide'.
