Puzzicato said:I was being facetious. I knew I wasn't going to have children in my teens, long before finances became something I thought about!
I find that saying it doesn't stop those sorts of assumptions and comments. I've had "But what if you change your mind?" - to which I responded "What if you do? Are you going to give him back?" and my doctor wouldn't refer me for tubal ligation because my marriage might fail and I might meet someone who wanted children...
I think I knew as soon as I found out where the little blighters came from! I'm with Edward on this one - I can appreciate intellectually why people would want to have one, but the thought of doing it myself gives me the screaming meemies!
I ran into that same brick wall, Puzzicato, and found the medical professionals' attitude toward my wishes incredibly offensive and patronizing. I only managed to get there in the end by digging my heels waaaaay in, undergoing councelling can you believe, and frankly, lying about my age. One of the best things I've ever done.
