My MOM said that I was overreacting and the circ is still cleaner, and maybe a compromise is like... taking only Part of the foreskin off. I think the old school transition is hard sometimes.

I just saw this great article you could send them:
(actually everyone here will like it I think)

Only 25% of the world circumcises, and not necessarily the good 25%.

sounds like you handled it beautifully.

the smart-aleck in me would want to say something along the lines of "sure! we plan to compromise by cutting off just a little AND we are going to do the same thing with his lips to reduce the risk of oral infections too! those pesky, warm, wet folds of skin around his mouth harbor SO MUCH BACTERIA! we want to eliminate that risk as fast as we can. who would you recommend for trimming off part of his eyelids also?"

......'sprobably better, what you said.
