There was an interesting conversation on Twitter on Sunday with @sandyel  @ChickyMara @emmawaverman @aureliacotta @mommymoments @beingmarci @clippo @sharondv @NayChi and possibly more tweeps!

After having kids, what do you use for birth control?  Does mom go on the pill? IUD? Or does dad use condoms?  Get snipped?

I had tried a few options but I was honestly tired of putting more drugs into my body.  Condoms are not full proof either.

So what is the best birth control after kids? His turn!

I wanted to share my own husband’s thoughts on the matter.

He got the snip snip – yes, a vasectomy.

And he’s thrilled about it and thinks all men should do it too.

Why?

“I work all day, I can’t come home and do everything for a month while my wife recovers.”

What???  Can’t do everything for a month??? Dog house!

“It’s easier for the man than it is for the woman.  Women will be laid up in bed for a long day and men will end up having to do more around the house for a good month!  It was more for selfish reasons…”

Grrrr!  Time for a big ear-pull.

But before you judge and call him a jerk, my husband is a bit of  huge jokester.  He is really just kidding.

This is what he really means:

“For me, it’s only a 40-minute procedure, three days later and I’m fine.  Best thing I’ve ever done.

All you feel is a little bit of tugging and pulling. After I got up, I had to walk a little bit slower because it was a touch sensitive. When I got home, I iced my private areas with a frozen bag of peas – it really works because it contours everything, if you know what I mean.

I had to wear tight Jockey’s because if you don’t, it’ll feel like you have a bad toothache.

I took one day off work and by the third day, I was shovelling the snow.

It’s the least I could do since I’ve seen her vagina stretch 10 cm.”

 

Ba-doom-boom.

Yep.

There you have it.
