Incident last night at the mall...
Lately I've come to realize that it's the parents of annoying and disrespectful children bother me more than the children themselves. It's amazing to me to think about how so many people are all about children and will go to any length to bring them into the world, yet they're the first ones to ignore the terrible behavior. Case in point, last

And if there's any reason you need to find a CF-friendly women's clinic, try Seasons. :-)

I've been living over here about a year now, originally from NC. Was eventually (when I can afford it) planning on getting a tubal or some sort of permanent birth control solution... Does Seasons do that sort of thing? Or could recommend someone who could.

The best part? I was asked ONCE by the doctors there if I was sure I didn't want kids, and that was ALL. NO bingos whatsoever. :-) My age (32) might have been a nudge in the "no bingos" direction, but there was NO guff at all.

But during the prep exams to see how everything was in there, they found the fibroid. So since I wanted no babymaking and no periods, he suggested that the most effective way to say goodbye forever to fibroids (and in my opinion, another host of potential inherited problems also) was indeed surgical and somewhat major. But so far, the hysterectomy is already VERY worth it. :-)

No actual cancer in my lineage yet, but the females in my family have had a slew of problems with female bits. For my sister's sake, I'm glad hers didn't keep her from having a kid (and allowed my dad to have at least one grandchild). Mom had endometriosis really badly, and I would not have been surprised to develop that later on. Hopefully as long as I don't have ovarian problems, the trouble should be eviscerated by now.

My younger sister actually gave me the most trouble with it, saying I was putting all the pressure on her...but she likes and wants kids (and has one now), and she's probably the foundation of my childfreeness in the first place (I was quiet, she was NOT). So I asked my folks if they'd be upset with not having grandkids, and they both replied that it's not their decision to make, and we should do what's best for us.

*Edit: or, maybe other family members? I added you on my friends list, but if you object I can undo that.

Well as I said in my other post, my parents have both passed away now... but they new beforehand that I probably didn't ever want children. Because at the time, I was actually undecided, but have now grown into now wanting children.
My sister in law is the first to tell me how selfish I am for not wanting children... and not wanting to share my life with them. lol I just laugh, because how am I the selfish one because I know beforehand that I don't want children. It seems to me that I'm making a smart and thoroughly though out decision to not have them... But alas, you just can't get through to some people.
For the most part, everyone else is okay with my not having children. I'm the cool auntie to my nieces and nephews and that's just how I like it. Of course they'd every single one sh** a brick if they knew I terminated a pregnancy in September of last year (I was on depo and obviously it didn't work, so needless to say I've changed bc. But also want a more permanent solution).
