The wife says that I have to get fixed as soon as baby No. 2 is born.

I really, really don't want to do it, but I seem to have little choice.

She's getting her tubes tied, but she says that's not enough. She has a friend who became pregnant 20 years after she got her tubes tied - just as their youngest child had graduated from high school.

I don't want that to happen either, but I really, REALLY don't want to do this.

I've been able to laugh this off for a while now, but now that the baby is just a couple of months away, my wife is talking about the Big V more and more.

What to do?
 
My dad did it a little while after I was born. My brother's 18. My dad got his second right after him.

Tim Taylor did it, and Dr. Cox did it twice. You'll be fine.
 
Forgive me for asking, but why would you both need to get fixed?

Double protection, I guess.

You can still get pregnant when you get your tubes tied. It's call tubal something or other.

I'm not sure of the success rate on the vasectomy.
 
You do it.

She's had to spend nine months per baby being pregnant.

The big V doesn't take that long and healing time is fairly fast.

And if she's pestering you about it, it's best you do it.
 
I can recommend a doctor... one I've mentioned before here...
If he can give himself the unkindest cut of all because he's the only doctor he would trust to do it, he can work on you too.

Easy for you to say, you little twerp. Your ejaculate is so old that it'll come out as little old men, if and when ...

But I really don't want to ... it's just so permanent.
 
Two guys in the department have had the V treatment.

Both said that after 48-72 hours of ice on the boys that everything was good to go. But I have no personal experience.

TTFWIW.

Give me your mailing address, W-b. We'll see about that.

I knew that was coming. I knew that was coming and it was still so very awesome.

I've heard this, which made my buddy's wounded-in-war act when he got snipped last summer all the funnier. He kept grousing about it--never mind his wife had given birth three times in six years--and when he finally got it done he milked it as if he were the ******* son of Tiger Woods (yeah I said it!) and Derek Jeter. About 10 days after it was done, we had a fantasy football draft. He limped in there like he had no legs. Then, 10 days LATER, he showed up to another fantasy football draft AND HAD THE SAME LIMP OF DEATH.

Dude, even if it was that bad, it's still about 105 fewer weeks of hell than your wife went thru. Sack up. so to speak, of course.
 
Can you envision any scenario in which you'd have more kids?
