So nearly a decade ago, it was barely the norm.


That's only Vaud insurance does t cover it. People in the US are poor, so they aren't going to waste $400 or whatever it is on circumcision.

3 sons, aged 12, 6, and 3. Dual lawyer parents. All three circumcised. FWIW, DH is not circumcised and was born in a country where it wasn't the norm. We are not Jewish. We both wanted them circumcised.

They aren't. They are making these conversations up because they are defensive about whatever choice they made. No reasonable person knows or wants to know the state of their friends' sons. Ugh, I get creeped out imagining such a boundary-disrespecting conversation.


What boundaries? I have changed friends children's diapers

Okay, weirdo. Plenty of us have close friends and while pregnant or new moms will just ask, "Did you circumcise?" and get a quick response and move on. We're also talking about poop and getting peed on. It's just not a fancy boundary time in life!

We are in LA and didn't circumcise. Pretty much every non-Jewish boy in his class isn't but I am not sure we made the right decision.

I seriously doubt this came out of your OB’s mouth.

OP to answer your question our DS (age 6) is circumcised, I’m not aware of any baby boys born in our family/friend circle that are not.

My DH is a non-practicing Jew. Our son is not circumcised. This decision was made for a wide variety of reasons but I have no regrets and neither does DH.

I know two other snipped men who left sons intact.

I asked DCs preschool teacher who has been a preschool teacher for 25 years. She said that it's now about 40% circumcision and 60% not circumcised and that when she started teaching the percentages were switched.
