On having kids

The other day Shawn and I were having another one of "why we won't have kids" conversations when Shawn stated the following:

"I have worked very hard to make sure that you don't get pregnant."

Yes. That's right. Apparently me going to the doctor every year to get my pill script refilled (which, by the way, is the only form of birth control we use) voluntarily and without prompting from him PLUS remembering to take said pill every night (again, without prompting - or hell, him even noticing) can be directly and irrevocably attributed to him.

Well, you know what they say - behind every woman's success is a man looking to take credit. Wait, they don't say that? hunh. Coulda fooled me.

You could always stop taking the pill and then blame him if you get pregnant.

PS -- you will be an awesome mom.

@ A nonny mouse: not if you read the article about fertility math on MSN today.

Are you never having them ever? I respect that, if that's the case. Plenty of Duggars having extras to make up for your lack of output.

@ K, just read it. Seems like a good argument to stop taking the pill.

@ TSC, the world needs awesome and high IQ Katina Jr's, not lame-o mouth-breathers from Arkansas.

It's looking pretty good that we either a) won't have kids, or b) will adopt an older kid(s) in the future. I just really don't care for babies all that much. They are cute and all, but I just don't want one.

@K, I heard babies are only a pain in the ass for like the first 3-4 months, then they get a personality, and are cool to hang out with.
