Baby shower drama

Today was our baby shower. It was honestly all in all a great experience....until my mom heard my husband talking to his aunt about us not circumcising our son. I was in the kitchen the hall had putting desert in the fridge when I hear. “What did you say? Wait you’re what!” Immediately I knew it was my mother’s voice. Then I heard yeah we’re just not getting him circumcised stated by my husband. It was loud. And my party had a total of about 12 at that point due to it being late in the party. So everyone heard it. He wasn’t even talking to her she was just listening in. I froze thinking oh god really at a time like this. So I listened to her complain and question why we decided not to have him circumcised. He is the first in the family so apparently it’s a big deal. My sister walked past and gave me the look of “you’re kidding right” mind you my sisters know, and I’m pretty positive I’ve told my mom so to bring this up at my shower was to me very rude. Especially to be so blatantly upset. So I called her out asking mom why are you upset. This is his body and we wouldn’t expect a woman to do this to her daughter (meaning cut off her clitoris) she immediately backed off saying she just didn’t understand why. I stated again. I want him to have a choice for himself and if he decides later in life great if not great. It is not my body to control if he has foreskin or not. Aunt was super supportive at this time. She works for a law firm and knows her way around words. Luckily her and her husband deescalated the situation by saying “Well you know most insurance doesn’t cover it anymore because it’s not medically necessary? And now it’s just a practice done by some religions. On top of that it’s very uncommon in other countries?” Somehow she understood that and immediately dropped the subject.

I guess I just wanted to share it with someone as it honestly upset me to the point I had to take a breather in the bathroom then walk around the hall.

Later I explained this to my dad who is 63 years old (separated from my mom) and somewhat traditional and my brother. Why were these men more understanding than my own mother? Why could they have an adult conversation about the pros and cons than my own mom. We talked about both pros and cons at the shower and at home and my brother actually commended me on doing my own research and putting my son first and I’ve never heard him say any words of encouragement to me in my life. I’m just at a loss and wanted to share this to see was i in the right for being angry? Was I right defending my baby’s simple foreskin??? To me this is just as ridiculous as it sounds. Sorry for the long rant.
