So right now you if you bring your kid in for an ear infection, you're asked if you own a gun? To what end? And if you lie and say no...are you committing some kind of crime?
 
My son has born with apnea, and was in the NICU for several days. Hubby and I opted out of circumcision because we felt he had been through enough in his first few days. Fast forward to 2 years old, and he is showing signs of being Autistic, and I cannot "clean" him properly, I took him to the pediatrician and the dr asked me "Do you smoke?" What? like smoking would give him an infection on his willie? I never saw that doctor again, and complained to the senior doctor in the practice about the comment. We did have to have him circumcised a few months later, because dealing with his disability was too difficult.
 My son didn't mind, he just kept asking everyone if they wanted to see his boo-boo :)
 
Asking about what goes on in the house, to me, if put in proper context is acceptable. First visit or a yearly checkup type of visit. In my story, I was offended because I felt the doctor was accusing me of giving my son an infection solely on the fact I smoke.
