family judging my decision...

To not circumcise. Im kind of mad because today my sister told me that on the yearly family vacation to florida (that i could not go on)  my dad, his girlfriend, her kids, my aunt, my grandma all sat around saying how disgusting and stupid it is that im not circumcising my son and whats wrong with me for leaving it that way... Im honestly hurt that they would sit around saying this behind my back instead of just saying it to my face (i would have had something to say about it for sure) my sister (age 16) said she said 'will you all shut the **** up and stop talking about MY sister like that' and apparently my dad flipped out on her but the subject was immediately dropped.

Why does anyone care if i chop the skin off his penis or not? He is my son! Im thinking go have your own son and get him circumcised and mind your business. So mean!! Anyone else going through judgmental issues with family?

Why does it matter only the us does that for no reason I mean if that little skin was not meant to be there why would it grow on all baby boys and cutting that takes away from sensitivity and feels I didn't do it to my son I see no reason to cut something that is meant to be there unless its a must

I've felt like that when it comes to naming my son. My mom gets very iffy about it. I'll just be like rlly. Have decided to not mention names anymore and they'll rlly learn the whole name either when they ask for baby shower letters or when I'm naming him at the hospital. The other day I was prepping hospital papers I was given to bring w me the day I deliver.. She said but u don't even know the name. I just stayed quiet. I've been dying to buy his letters to put on the wall where his crib will go.. She goes not yet ull change your mind! She doesnt get i like diff. names.. Something my hispanic family will have to get use to cause im not picking anything spanish. I just let it go alrdy. Ppl will always have something to say even if they mean well. I know the feeling "its my sonnn!" I would sit w my family and tell them why you've chosen your decision, and that u don't appreciate they couldn't come to you instead. Good luck.
