I know that my dad is done, but that my brother is not. I never discussed it with them. I know dad would've been done for religious reasons. My grandparents were strict Catholics. But I think Mum & Dad had the same opinion as me.
I Just remember from when I was younger. I dunno if DB noticed the difference, but I did. I never thought about it though til I found out DS was a boy. Then I sorta compared the people who I knew were or weren't, to decide.
I knew I wasn't gonna do it, but DH hated that he wasn't done & always said he wanted his son done so he didn't feel the odd one out. But I've noticed more & more people are not doing it.
I got DH to agree with me & he has since said that it would feel wierd if DS was done coz he would be different.
Just so you know - when I say compare I didn't go around looking!
Just how many people I knew were & weren't done.
We don't think it is an embarrassing issue. I talk about it quite openly. DH does with his mates, but I dunno how he'd feel knowing I was telling the world!
