First of all, before I get into something crazy I heard this weekend, HOW in tarnation do I add a Profile picture? ahhh.
Second--
The other day I was out at Chicks Beach with a few friends celebrating their birthdays, (twins ftw). I met one of their friends who was a really cool girl. She was funny, very artistic and talented, and pretty chill. I'm not sure how we got on the topic, but she made this statement, "I hate kids. I don't ever want them. They're not cute, they're just discussing little people...I want to get my tubes tied."
Allow me to first make myself clear. I don't believe every couple should be expected to have kids. Not having children doesn't devalue your relationship, family situation, or your life. In fact, it doesn't even matter if you are married or not. Do whatcha waaaant.
Now, after the new friend said she wanted to "get her tubes tied," I pointed out that she's only 18 years old. She said that she wanted to get it done, and I suggested she just stick with conventional methods for preventing a lil' egg being fertilized. She insisted that the procedure could be reversed if for some reason she changed her mind.
Well, let's get informed! Woo!
Tubal ligation, a form of female sterilization (aka, Getting your "tubes tied"), is basically when the fallopian tubes are cut and (essentially) cauterized. At least that's how I understand it. This form of sterilization is meant to be PERMANENT. And very, very rarely does it lead to pregnancy, because the sperm can't reach the eggs via fallopian travel plans.
I'm going to end up beating this into the ground, and probably no one really wants to read this. haha. I don't blame you! Woooo
Well said. That sounds even more painful than birth (... maybe not).
