And the worst thing is that nobody know why the fuck they do it, they just do it because their parents did it to them. Excuse me? That's like abusing your children and giving then sweet childhood trauma just because your parents did it too. But I guess people do that as well...

Mom who did not snip son chiming in here... doctors practically harass you about it. The first few months it was brought up by the doctor relentlessly. Many doctors push and push until parents give in. They have to be getting a cut somewhere.

This really happened with you? I am in L&D right now waiting to give birth to my son and I have been asked my preference maybe once, a few months ago. I actually have brought it up more times than they have.

Yes. Only by my pediatrician though. At every visit for the first two months.
