To Circumcise or Not
Hi
I’m currently 25 weeks pregnant and pretty much since we found out we’re having a boy at 22 weeks family (mom and sister)has been pressuring me to circumcise him. I thought it was something they let go but it turns out my mom just stopped asking me and talked to my sister about it. They went behind my back and offered to put for my stroller and car seat in full if I get him circumcised. At first I thought the offer was sweet bc both car seat and stroller are expensive but things my partner and I really want. I’m also offended they think they can bribe me to cut him. My fiancé is cut from when he was a baby but thinks we shouldn’t bc of bodily autonomy and such which I agreed is fine with me and based on studies doesn’t seem beneficial to have it cut.
I guess what I’m asking is how did y’all decide on this? To the males in your lives regret there decision to cut or not? Also how do I work on not falling to the pressure? I’ve always tried to be a people pleaser for my family but I really want to stick with my fiancé on this. I just feel kind of stuck and second guessing myself now that I’m getting so much commentary from my mom and sister.
Any advice is appreciated
Thank you
