Step parent/ alternative caregiver circumcision status talk

I've seen the thread asking about talking to your parents about your circumcision status, but has anyone spoken about it with a step-parent (step mom/dad) or alternate caregiver (foster, aunt, etc)?

How did that go down? Did you find you had the same or differing views/ feelings?

How did they find out you were/ were not circumcised?

Did you find that conversation was more or less intimidating than talking it out with your biological parent (for example)?

I was thinking about a guy I knew when I lived in the US who was passed around foster homes and was not circumcised, and his experiences with foster parents who had differing opinions. As well as a friend of mine who's mum remarried recently (he is 22) and his conversation about his cut dick with his step dad.

I can't speak from personal experience oor anything on the topic BUT personally it seems like foster care and the like would be majorly pro circumcision. If for no other reason then hygiene in that your not having to double and triple check various rugrats at bathtime and such.

Can't have lil Timmy get an infection from bad cleaning habits if he no longer has a foreskin to start with.

This is probably not applicable in countries where RIC isn’t the norm…

That’s true. Buy it certainly wouldn’t shock me if this was the case for boys who enter in foster care in the US not circumcised.

I recall reading about Native American children taken away from parents in young age "for better care", then later returned minus foreskin. The parents had never heard about that before. Unsure if US or Canada.

When I visited my extended family in Asia as a kid, the only thing that was mentioned about foreskin was to make sure it was being pulled back and everything down there being cleaned when I was showering.

Yes, my step mother was pro circumcision and took me to a female pediatrician that was also pro circumcision. My step mother knew I was not circumcised because she married my dad when I was almost 10 and ran baths for me every night after I removed all my clothes and put them into the hamper. She claimed to be bringing me to a new, female pediatrician because it was "easier to coordinate" appointments with my step sister, but not being circumcised came up at my first physical but I didn't understand exactly what it was until later on. My step mother and my doctor wanted me to get it done but they agreed with my father that I was not old enough to decide for myself at that time and it was not fully explained to me in a a way a 10 year old would understand. Later on when I realized I was different then almost all the other boys in that way I said I wanted it done at like 12 or 13 but the pediatric urologist showed me where she would be cutting and I was terrified of it. It still came up often since there was a big push since it was claimed to be more "hygienic" and I had had an infection once, but I decided the pain would not be worth it. much later I had to have it done and it wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be but was not as easy as put either.
