Never mind that. We can cope without US citizenship, thank you very much."
You should never willingly limit your options, or those of your son. The bureaucrats at the embassy are little different from those who work at the Department of Motor Vehicles or Post Office. They are small people who have much in life to resent, and they often take it out on others (and each other), as you have probably seen in frequent and often sensational news stories.
You might be able to cope without American citizenship for your son, but he would do better to have it.

But her son wasn't born in America. He was born in Japan. He's automatically a Japanese citizen by default because of that alone. Since she plans on residing in Japan, along with her husband, and remaining there, with her husband, why go through the trouble of getting her already Japanese citizen of a son an American citizenship? If anything, she'd be better off getting her son a passport so they could visit the states. What good would getting an American citizenship do her son, if he lives in Japan, speaks Japanese, is being raised in Japan, etc.?
