Tubal Ligation...opinons on the pros and cons

Tweet

Recently I have decided that I would like to have my tubes cut and tied. I am 25 years old, almost 26, I have 2 children, and no need for any more children. I have thought long and hard on this, and I am sure of my decision. I am not married, or even in a long term relationship at this point. I have been asked many questions including, well if you meet someone and they want children, what would you do? Well, first off, like I said, I have two children, and if he cannot love my children like his own, I sure as hell wouldn't bring another child into the family so that the other two would be loved less or treated any different. Also, they will know this right off the bat of anything getting serious so they can decide at that point if this will work. I also know that if there came a point where I did want another child, I would like to adopt. There are so many children out there without a secure home, without someone to tuck them in at night and someone to say those three little words that mean the world to a child.."I love you." I am not looking for a yes or no answer on whether to have it done, I just wondered what you all think of it because everyone seems to have an opinion when I tell them. So what is yours? Also, feel free to ask me questions or let me know if you have had your tubes done as I am always open to hearing what other people experienced. Thanks everyone.
