[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 345004, member: 135"] Thanks, guys. There are a couple of reasons she's the one getting the surgery. First of all, it's medical. She's had problems and the doctor recommended it. The other reason is financial. Medicaid will pay for her procedure. difficult child has no insurance and is not covered by medicaid and with bills and 2 kids already, there is no way he could pay for a vasectomy. I usually buy his medication each month because that isn't even in their budget. His fiance will get a job as soon as the younger girl gets in school full time but at this point money is scarce. They are budget conscious and do pretty well most of the time but there is no way to come up with money for a big medical bill. difficult child has said all along that he doesn't want more kids. He does well with the two girls and I think he feels his family is complete. I was in the car for 4 hours with his fiance yesterday and we did talk. Of course she feels sad about losing the baby but I think she is reconciled to the fact that she is physically unable to have more kids and she feels thankful for her girls. And in some ways she thinks that they cannot afford another child and it definitely wasn't in their plans.. I don't mean to say they "didn't want" another baby but I think most of you know what I mean. I'm sure it is a combination of sadness and relief coupled with guilt for feeling that way. We will focus on the wedding (October 1st) as there is lots of planning to do and it will be good for all of us to have something pleasant to be looking forward to. [/QUOTE]
