I’ve never wanted kids, it’s just not my thing. I’ve been thinking about getting a vasectomy for quite a while now, and I finally decided to take the next step. I called a clinic, went in for a consultation, and the doctor explained everything thoroughly. My procedure is scheduled for a little over two weeks from today. My family is strongly against it. They believe I’ll change my mind as I get older and end up regretting it.
I’ve done this unofficial fostering myself. I make sure that I don’t claim all ”my” kids, they are still their own individuals and have all rights to connect with their families and cultures. I love my kids, both bio and not. I wouldn’t want to be without them. But I still am sure I should have had other options achieved when I was younger. So I concur with the commenter I replied to now and OP. Don’t let family pressure fuck your life up.
