    When I had my first kid at 20, I was TERRIFIED to tell my dad. I invited him over, we had dinner, watched a movie, he drank some beer, we had dessert, and he LEFT, then I texted him telling him I was pregnant. Luckily by this time he was so drunk he came back and started doing a gangnam style "grampa style" dance. With that same pregnancy I had invited my mom and sister over for tacos. My sister complained that my cousin was pregnant again and said "thank god you're not getting pregnant anytime soon", in which I broke the news like WELL ACTUALLY. Second kid I was like whatever y'all I'm knocked up get ready for cranky bitch Hailey for the next nine months.

    That's so fucked up.
    Even I had trouble convincing my doctor to refer me for the vasectomy. Didn't seem to matter that I personally don't want children. It wasn't until I told him of the health concerns I have for my wife taking birth control that he finally let up
    The nurse and the doctor before performing the surgery even asked me several more times of I was sure.
    I'm like yes, I know I have perfect genes and it's a shame I'm not paying them on... But yes I'm sure.
    I know that because my government pays for everything they want to make sure that funds aren't being wasted. And if I change my mind in the future shit will be expensive to reverse, but **** off is my body.

    Anyways, more and more people are going kid free by choice, so hopefully one day soon the judgment and shaming will stop.

    I waited till 7 she was 7 months, then I took my mom out for lunch.
    My sister and grandma showing up kinda made things worse, but hey, it was a 100$ lunch I got to treat them to and my grandma lived to see her great grandson.
    Not an easy thing to do, but I ate that sandwich with everyone watching me.

    At 16, I would have been afraid to say this, but at 25, I would have been happy to tell.

    Telling your parents that you're having a baby can be a difficult and emotional conversation. For some people, their parents are their closest confidants, and they feel comfortable discussing anything with them. My parents have always supported me and helped me realize all my ideas. When I told them that I wanted to become a foster parent, they praised me. Becoming a foster parent is a very difficult decision that requires courage.
