Don’t have kids. Get your tubes tied. My daughter’s friend had to go to five doctors before she could have it done. She was 23.

I had to sign consent forms for my husband’s vasectomy after the birth of our sixth child. He was 44. Consent forms are not just for the women!

My sister told everyone she never wanted kids at 13. We all said “so don’t”. Doesn’t have kids at 55 and no one cares and the only ones that gave her grief for it was coworkers that complained about their kids. Consider the source when someone preaches to you. I love my kids and they’ve given my life great purpose and beauty. I can’t imagine a life without them. I know the sacrifice of having them though. I wouldn’t talk someone into adopting a cat much less having a child they MIGHT want.
