A noble sacrifice: Having “the snip” so that you won’t have to do “the pop” (and then 50 years of parenting after that for both of you).

This is in NO WAY a criticism of your decision. Having children is serious and I’m happy that you have made a choice that fits what you want out of life. So many people don’t make that decision and end up with kids that cramp their lifestyle and the result is unhappy, messed up kids.

Anyway, I DO have a response to the oft heard comment of “why would I want to bring kids into THIS world?”

My response is this: To Make it Better. There are so many jackasses and two-bit no goods having kids, genetic wastelands, drunks, assholes, jerks, narcissists, racists and violent MTFCKERS having kids, that more than anything, I want all the great, wonderful, kind, thoughtful, intelligent, consciencous, sensible, aware people I know to have babies to counterbalance the babies bred by the former list of miscreants.

The latter list of people who make living life good need to have children and raise them to also make living life good, to make a difference, to bring love and understanding, to teach tolerance and peace, to foster common sense and inter-dependence, to pass on a legacy of education, unselfishness and all the other great things about the great people I know. Because the rednecks are still breeding. Because the more the rednecks breed and the less the non-rednecks breed, the more the balance shifts towards humans being 100% retarded jackass idiots.

Good people (who want kids) need to have them or the human race is doomed!!!

I may post this in my blog. Yep.

i have always firmly believed that what we choose to have go into or come out of our vaginas was pretty much up to us, so more power to you both. the least we owe ourselves is being comfortable with our choices and doing what is right for us..hope Adam heals super fast!

my feelings about this subject have always been colored and emotionally charged by my own childhood trauma, which i feel is rather sucky really. the slice of freedom to have things turn out “the way they do” and “being ok with that” “even if it’s not perfect or it’s completely shitty” was swiped from me early on..very early on…i had to learn it, and it isn’t easy. not being a control-freak type person that is. LOL i was raised by one and they make ..lets not say “poor” parents but impractical ones

Hugs to you and Adam. And your honesty with yourself and others is beautiful.

Am with you babe - have my own reasons for not wanting kids - not the least of which is that I am totally uninterested in the entire concept or lifestyle. And, while it did seriously suck to be me when I was a kid too - major alienation and brutally lonely - the bottom line is that I have no biological clock - which, I admit, thrills me

And if one more person tells me I will change my mind - I am nearing 34 & have heard that crap since I was 18 - I will lock them in a room with Nickleback music and a rabid and horny alpaca.

I’m proud of you and your husband for talking about this openly. It is a taboo subject. I just had my tubes tied, and hubby had a V 5 years ago. We are double sterilized. w00t.

Corinna, I’ve been reading your blog for a while now and admire your courage to put it all out there like you do. My husband had the snip job done when I was 30. He had wanted to do it a few years earlier but did not as the whole idea upset me so much. Even though he had made it plain and clear from day one that he did not want children, it just felt so final to me. He didn’t go ahead with the snip job when he wanted to and I really respected him for considering my feelings. I finally gave him the okay and he went ahead with it a couple years later. Like you, both of us had childhoods that did nothing to foster the desire to have children. It won’t be so bad for Adam and you’ll both be glad for the decision you made and the freedom that comes with not feeling the need to breed. BTW-I have seen you and Adam in the West End walking around. We must live fairly close to one another. I know Tanya, so that is how I stumbled across your blog some time ago. Anyway, the best to you and Adam. Maybe we’ll meet up one day at one of Tanya’s get togethers.
