I agree that the pain isn't remembered but that doesn't change the fact that it is painful. I would hate to think that my son remembers me leaning over him, pinning his little shoulders and legs to the kitchen table while someone inflicted such pain on him.

You just contradicted yourself. Either your son remembers the pain or not. The fact is he WON'T if circumcision is performed shortly after birth. If he waits until he is grown up it will be very painful and he will remember. And he won't be too happy with you either.

You should have done it when he felt almost nothing and definitely remembers none of what little pain there is.

I din't contradict myself. I said it is a painful procedure but if preformed while an infant. they won't remember it.

And why pray tell would he need a circumcision later on unless there were problems? The chances of problems really are VERY miniscule(I'm sure you will find lot's of info if you do a web search to back up that assessment). And why would he be unhappy with ME(I'm injected myself here since I am the mother of an INTACT son) if he does need this procedure later? Would he be mad at me for not getting his appendix out shortly after birth too and he needed that procedure later on? How about his tonsils? Any son who would be unhappy at me because he didn't get the procedure as a baby and needed it now is not right in the head(pardon the pun) and I consider right up there with the guys on the nocirc webpage who are mad at thier mothers for having them cut! I think you are grasping for straws here.
Can we keep this out of the emotional what if area?
