Hi,
My fiance hadn’t really ever considered NOT circing our son-to-be until I brought it up and told him why it would not be done. He’s from the south, and it’s just still fairly typical down there (from what he says). So, his older brother has a son that is 8 months old. I have only met his brother & sister-in-law twice ever, and just once before baby was born. I had always just assumed that they had him circed.
DF and I were talking today about his nephew, and he mentioned that they did NOT have him circed. I was STUNNED, but in a good way, obviously 😉 I just can’t begin to tell you how much respect I gained for his brother & SIL in that instant–they are quite mainstream in many other aspects, and given that they live in Kentucky, I have to imagine they were met with some resistance when they made their choice.
