I had decided awhile ago that I didn't want anymore kids and tommorrow I will take the step to insure that. I have an appointment at 9am tommorrow to have a vasectomy, of course the way my love life is going, I am probably just wasting the time and money [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com].<P>I decided to tell my kids since I'll probably be hobbling around when they get home tommorrow from school. I wasn't sure what to tell them so I figured honesty is the best policy.<P>My daughter didn't say too much(of course), but my son had a few questions.<P>First he asked how it would be done. Then he asked me if I would have sex if I got married. Finally he asked me if I would tell him when I had sex and would he be gone when I had sex. The last two questions were written down because he was too embarrased to ask me.<P>I told him yes to the second question and no and yes to the last one.<P>I wonder if I should have just kept my mouth shut.<P>------------------<BR>"You can't always get what you want! But if you try real hard,you might just find, you get what you need!"<BR>Mick Jagger

RWD,<P>I think you made the right decision to tell your kids about your V plans. If nothing else, maybe your honesty with your kids will show them that they can be honest with you about sex. Mostly, I hope that you told them that they are so special to you that you no longer feel the need for more children.<P>Best Wishes!<P>Karel

Karel,<P>Thats what I did tell them. My son was disappointed because he wanted a little brother or sister so he could tell them them how to do things. He's a hoot !!!!

Just had my V last Tuesday. I hardly felt anything. No hobbling. Just a bit uncomfortable for a couple of days.<P>Don't let the kids jump in your lap and you should be just fine. Course it is easier with your kids ages than mine (6 and 1).<P>See Ya
