British penis owner here. Cirumcision is rare in this country and as far as I know the rest of the world. I imagine most British people would find it strange, the inverse of your friend's experience. My instinct is to say don't perform an unnecessary medical procedure on your child and let them decide as an adult. You can't put a foreskin back on. But I sympathise with the cultural aspect of it you're having to contend with in the USA.
Side note: I did consider getting circumcised at one point. I was in a BDSM relationship. My penis was consensually "hers" and she preferred it after being with a Jewish guy. It was a rule that I couldn't get it out without retracting my foreskin. If it had become a long term relationship I might have done it.
Bit of a harsh way to put it but yea it's not difficult. Pull the foreskin back, clean it along with the rest of the dick.
