Is it strange to NOT circumcise one son when his brothers already are?

Question

I’m not trying to debate the issues, but since becoming a mom 10 years ago I honestly just feel different about the situation. 
My first two boys are circumcised. I don’t necessarily regret the decision because I put much thought into it, and decided based on my own research, others experiences, etc. 
However, as we get ready to ha e our last baby I just feel as if I’m having a change of heart. I don’t disagree with either side, but I honestly can’t put another baby through that again. It hurt my heart. 
My husband thinks it would be very odd to have one son who isn’t circumcised while our other two (including himself) is.

Answer

No. I have 4 brothers. The older 2 are circumcised. Then my mom learned better and the younger 2 are not. 
There is no weirdness about it. They dont go around comparing their penises with each other. I dont think the younger 2 even know the older 2 are cut, because there is no reason for them to.

Answer

Having him circumcised just because his siblings are isnt a good enough reason to do it in my opinion. If you feel strongly about leaving him uncircumcised it shouldn’t matter whether his brothers are or not. It’s not like theyll be comparing private parts or regularly making conversation about it.

Answer

Personally I would circumcise the last boy especially if I already did it for the others. Although if your feelings have changed towards it and you don’t feel comfortable doing it, don’t. He can always get the surgery later in life if he chooses. You’d just have to weigh the pros and cons about that as well. Definitely talk more with your spouse about it until y’all come to a mutual decision.

Answer

This was a concern for us as well. We had my 5 year old circumcised but I didn't do much research on it and let my husband decide since he's the one with the penis.... Wrong decision on my behalf. I immediately regretted it and told him if we had another boy I wouldn't put him through that! Well here we are 5.5 years later expecting a baby boy any day now and he's not getting circumcised even though my husband and oldest are 🤷🏼‍♀️ we had a talk with my son about how his brother's penis will look different and explained why and he understood and agreed we shouldn't cut any part of the penis off especially not just for looks😂 guys will eventually learn about it watching porn or at school so having to explain it earlier or learn it first hand wasn't a big deal to us.

Answer

I have two boys. My first was circumcised and youngest is not. Your story is more common than you think and it’s not a big deal for them to be different.

Answer

They may or may not ask questions about it when they are older but you can just simply say that you were more educated/ had more experience and decided it wasn’t necessary

Answer

It's not like they're going to stand there and compare penis's with eachother. 
And if the older two do ask about it just be honest with them.
