Not even into the weekend, and I'm already glad DH is giving me the best b-day gift of all...

...which is that he will be getting a vasectomy in 13 days, so I will not have to worry about EVER becoming a parent and having to deal with this shit. Best birthday present of all time. At least for me.

Not even into the weekend, DH finds out from Tattle-Tale McGee (aka SS13) that SS11 is no longer allowed to play with a certain friend because they have been up to questionable behavior (I mean, way more questionable than usual since SS11 has never made a good choice in his life), which I won't mention here, but let's just say it's a bit disconcerting (and no, not in a sexual way). Enough that BM SHOULD have told DH about it the SECOND she found out about it, but DH had to hear about it 4 days later from SS13. BM should know by now that ANYTHING said, done, BREATHED in front of SS13 is going to be reported to ANYONE he knows with authority because he is a blabbermouth and LOVES getting SS11 into trouble, so she should've just been up-front with DH, and then he wouldn't be so incredibly pissed that he's ready to take the skids from her (which would be my worst nightmare since, as mentioned above, I don't even want kids of my OWN, much less these two semen demons). Apparently the school counselor is involved (and HE should've said something to DH, too, but probably assumed BM would), and now since BM is scared DH will take away her kids, she's making extra sure to involve him in the meeting with said school counselor. BM, by the way, is notorious for keeping DH in the dark about everything possible from school events to when crap like this goes down. Being a parent sucks as far as I can tell.

My DH had a vasectomy two weeks after he found out about crotch dropping #2 being on the way. (from a ONS with BM years after their divorce). He loves SS27 with all his heart, but I personally consider SS the biggest mistake ever. Or maybe 2nd biggest next to the first one the now dead criminal.

This was all decades before I met him. I was way too old to have a baby under any circumstances so it didn't matter. But I am so glad he never had kids with his 2nd wife nor do we have to worry about any little surprises turning up years later.

THANK YOU!!!! DH will be 40 in June, I'll be 34 on the 15th. I've been begging him to get one for years having known since I was probably 12 or 13 that I never wanted to have kids (unfortunately NOT knowing that I also didn't want to be a Step-mom, but now it's too late and divorce is not where I want to end up). I think he realized that for him, 40 is too old to be starting all over again when in only 7 years he'll be an empty-nester. I think his kids are two of the biggest mistakes of all time...but at least they're not dead criminals. Yet. I know our kid would be different from his kids because I have rules, boundaries, discipline, and expectations of children (I teach), but I really don't want to find out.

My DH had one after his second son and during his first marriage. I used to think - well, obviously a second wife wasn't in the plans at the time, but what if...what if we want kids?

Ha! 5-6 years into this and I'm pretty happy he has the vasectomy.

XH and DH have both had one.
Except for the infrequent case of baby fever (I'm in my thirties) I am SO glad I don't have to worry about birth control!!
I don't even know what it's like to deal with condoms... Biggrin
It affords a great piece of mind.

BUT, BIG BUT, make sure he gets tested when done. My next door neighbor is expecting baby #4 (baby #3 is a year old) because the V "didn't take."
