I think it is more that they are afraid that as the biological clock ticks down, a person will then want to reproduce (whether they should or not is a whole different matter) and then sue the doctor when a reversal doesn't work and they can't have kids.

Lawsuits make the world go round, you know.

Ok, they were questioning DH if he REALLY wanted the snip. Erm, yeah, mid 40s, has 8 kids already, wife is pregnant with twins. He was getting the snip.

Yep, my DH got heavy questioning too, and he was 26 with two kids.

I am really annoyed with the fact that a 22 year old with 3 kids can her tubes tied no problem but a 30 year old with no kids would not be able to or it would take tons of drama. Its obvious not a medical risk, just a societal expectation of producing offspring.

What if the 22 year old decides she needs a 4th? She could sue too.

Double standards. Bastards.

DH here had to go for counseling to make sure this wasn't some weird PTSD issue. Erm, no, it was called I said snip or nothing.

I make an imappropriate bull comment, and you all just skip right over it. *sigh*

Yeah, but then they have the defense of it being a reasonable assumption that she knew what she wanted since she already had 3 kids.

Ummm...sort of. It's a Southern thing. It's almost like a pudding, but sweeter, severed hot over buscuits. The best of comfort foods:

Oh Yes!!! IT IS!!!!!

In my next life I want to live at Belle's house.

Michelle!

Y'all will just have to visit often in this life, the next life sounds too far away.

I found a good buscuit recipe finally!

Not the norm in Minnesota, too cold. I think WeFest is the only time it happens. And that particular day the guys all had on their A-Game because we all know Kid Rock plays shirtless.

Oh, you saw Kid Rock? Was it good? That's about the only reason I'd go to WeFest. I went one year and that was enough for me.

Kid Rock played at Frontier Days in Cheyenne. We caught his encore as we were pumping gas across the street. Free concert = priceless.

No worries. The letter I sent sat on my desk for weeks.

Tom has no kids, but his doc never questioned his decision. He just explained everything in intricate details and made sure he told him it was pretty much permanent.

Fortunately our doctors are very realistic. They look us in the eye and just ask us, "You sure this is what you want to do?" We answer and everyone moves on.

Common sense in medicine, who knew the two could go together

Not quite, my curve is a bit north of that. All I can say is, certain areas of my anatomy better be UN occupied.

Could be all the baby dust sprinkles that are in the air. Had to land somewhere.
