The mother of three said during the podcast about circumcision: ‘I have two sons and I did it. My partner was a professional baseball player. He was like, “Well in the locker room, I don’t want him to get made fun of.'”
She added: ‘I was like, “Okay, well, you’re the dad. You do have 50 percent choice in this.’

The Real Housewives of Orange County star ‘was really upset by it.’
Meghan continued, adding: ‘I’m like, “we live in – 2018, at the time. We know how to clean ourselves, we have showers and hygiene. Why would I do this to my child? He’s a little baby.”‘
Lila Darville said during the podcast that the rate of circumcision was going down in Canada, with Brooke adding that ‘it’s actually going down in America too.’

Meghan said: ‘It should be. There’s no reason to manipulate your baby boy’s body like that. I don’t like it. It makes me sad.’
Adding that there’s ‘no kind of numbing except topically,’ something which she wonders could lead to making ‘men more aggressive.’
She said: ‘What type of long-term [psychological] effects does this possibly have on our kids growing up through the years? And then – I’m gonna get real deep, but is this why maybe men are more aggressive? I don’t know.’

Her new podcast comes just one month after Us Weekly reported that she ‘reached a custody agreement’ with estranged husband Jim, 49.
The star was reportedly ‘not happy’ with the judge deciding that the pair will equally split 50/50 custody of their three children.
The former lovebirds called it quits on their romance in October amid cheating allegations, one day after celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary.
The former Real Housewives of Orange County star settled on the agreement on Tuesday, Nov. 26.
The couple have waged a very public war against each other after she accused him of cheating on her with their 22-year-old nanny Carly Wilson.

Shortly after, the ex-MLB player packed up and moved into the massive dream home that they had been building together in St. Louis.
At the time, Jim denied all of the allegations and called Meghan’s attack ‘dangerous, irresponsible and hurtful.’
In a blog post, the Bravo star admitted she felt ‘uncomfortable’ and wrote that Jim had started lying about where he was going’ which sparked the cheating rumors.
‘To be clear, I don’t know if Jim slept with our babysitter or whether they were just being exceedingly inappropriate by hanging out socially without either of them telling me (and Jim expressly lying to me about it),’ she wrote. ‘I’ve gone back and forth with my thoughts for a couple days but as I write this, I don’t think he did. But I still don’t understand why he’d lie. And why would she lie?’
Two weeks later, Jim called the cops on Meghan after he she returned home from a night out with friends. Authorities concluded she was OK to take of their kids despite Jim’s request for intervention.
‘I did not call the police on my wife,’ Jim said of the situation where he claimed his children’s protection were of his best interest. ‘I called the police to protect the situation and make sure there were no further issues.’
This isn’t the first time that he faced cheating allegations; he admitted in June that he sent sexually explicit text messages to a woman while Meghan was pregnant with their twins last year.

AllAboutTheTEA posted screengrabs from the ballplayer’s texts which included shots of his genitals; a source also reported there was ‘a video of himself masturbating in his basement while his wife was laid up in the hospital’ after ‘she had just given birth that day.’
Jim reportedly worked out a non-disclosure agreement with the woman to keep mum about the affair.
Earlier this year, Meghan revealed that one of their twin boys, Hart, suffered a rare neurological disorder that required intense forms of therapy.
She embarked on rigorous routines for the sake of her son, and often updates her fans about his treatment plans including hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
