Should the choice of circumcision be left to the father of the child?

I let my DH decide, but that's only because he had a strong opinion on it and I didn't.

when we found out my 3rd was a boy (bit of a surprise cause we had 2 girls already) I did kind of leave the choice of circumcising up to my dh because honestly I didn't know that much about it. Of course i read up on the pros and cons but at the same time I felt like you do, i don't have the same equipment and I don't know what its like to take care of said equipment so my dh was better suited to make that decision. My dh and my ds are both circumcised. My sister and BIL chose not to circumcise their two boys, i don't know what their reasoning was and i really don't have any desire to ask them (nor to know whether or not my bil is circumcised :P).

I think it should be the choice of both parents. If they don't agree, weigh the pros & cons & whichever there are more of, that's the way to go. Just because you don't have a penis, doesn't mean you don't get a say.

I left it to my SON to decide. If he reaches the teen years and wants it done,we'll get it done then
I don't understand why it should be the dad's decision alone. Why would it matter if their penises matched or not?

In my religion all boys are circumcised at 8 days of age by a mohel, a specially trained rabbi. I was very happy at my son's bris. It was done in the house, held on a pillow by his grandfather and surrounded by family and friends.

We made that call together, 100% together... with some advice from our child's doc. My DH was the one who took him down and stayed with him while they did it in the hospital... he was pleased with himself for sticking by our little guy. When it comes up years from now I think that will be a good story to tell out DS!! ;o)

We decided to let our son decide since it is his body. If he wants it when he is older and able to verbalize that is what he wants then we will do what we can to make it happen. Obviously every family has their own way of handling this situation therefore I will only say how we dealt with the issue of circumcision.
