45. My wife is a (relatively) observant Jew. I'm a Taoist-Discordian-Atheist, but from a Jewish family.

When I was born, I don't even think my mom was given a choice. Snip!

My wife & I went back and forth with it. Surprisingly enough, I was more in favor of it than she was. But when it came right down to it, after the very difficult birth of our son, we were agonizing over it in the hospital, and I said to her "You know, if thinking about it is causing us this much stress, let's just not do it".

The minute I said that, it was like this big fucking weight came off our shoulders. So we didn't do it. And we've never regretted it since. It's his body, not ours. I would never tell other parents what to do, but for us, I'm really glad we didn't circumcise our son.
