I got sniped as my 40th Birthday present to myself. Now I am a Naval Orange, all juice, no seed.
I have nothing clever to put here.

I always tell the wife I won’t do anything because my next wife might want kids I got a dirty look when I said that. I also pointed out how my cousin married a girl 20 years younger than him. Also told her to think about how stingy that would be and think how that would be depriving the world of more of my genetics going around. She never was much for sharing. It’s hard to explain to some folks how important some of us are. It’s depressing at times

I agree and stopped at 4 my BNL stopped at 8. I’m behind in the 4th quarter but can’t convince the wife to get back in the game. I guess I have to except I may lose

Children are a blessing. We need way, way, way more trappers having and raising babies.

I love kids and I go to pieces over babies but this world is screwy and I would hate to raise a child in it. I grew up in the last good time to be a kid.

Look into the cost of hubby getting snipped. Might be cheaper going that route even if he doesn’t have insurance. Got snipped 23 years ago for my birthday. As Larry would say Git R Done.

When I got mine done in 1999 a good friend had his done by the same doctor but didn't have insurance.he paid cash up front got his done for about half of what my bill was.then you wonder why insurance is so high.

I got snipped after our 4th. No big deal. It's much less invasive and has a faster recovery time, and it's cheaper too. If my wife had needed a C-section, we would have done a tubal then, but she didn't. That said, she did have an emergency surgery for an ectopic pregnancy. Essentially, she had a tubal on one side. Recovery went well enough, and she never had any noticeable side effects related to other "plumbing". She was 24 at the time, not 42. Age can affect recovery rates. Whatever you decide, odds are that you'll be okay. Good luck! I’m too old, just turned 42. I love kids and I go to pieces over babies but this world is screwy and I would hate to raise a child in it. I grew up in the last good time to be a kid.
I'm not knocking your decision (or the circumstances that led to it or necessitated it, if that's the case) not to have kids. I don't know you, so it would be inappropriate and unreasonable for me to comment on, much less judge your life decisions. My comments here aren't intended to pass judgement, so I hope you won't take it that way. I just wanted to comment on the fear of having kids in "today's world" because I think it's a pretty common fear that couples express. You're absolutely right, the world is a screwy, even scary, place. However, the world has always been screwy, so I don't think we should let that stop us. It just means that (if we want to be good parents) we have to work hard to help our kids see how and why the world is screwy and how to respond to and live in the midst of the screwiness. Like I said though, I think that's always been the case. Anyway, even if you never have your own, it sounds like you might be able to find some nieces, nephews, or neighbors to love on. Kids can benefit a lot from those relationships too, especially if they don't have many other non-screwy people to relate to.
