Why I am a sports model
In a comment to yesterday's post, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chronovore asked why I got my tubes tied. I thought it likely that other people might be interested as well. Plus I didn't have anything else to say today...
I've known since I was eight (or so) that I didn't want kids. At a very tender age I told my parents in no uncertain terms that I would not be blessing them with grandchildren. I never looked back. I'm an only child and even as a child, I always preferred the company of adults. I don't understand children, I don't care for them, and I have very little patience with them. Ditto for supposed grown-ups that act like children. I'm very selfish with my time. I want to do what I want to do, when and how I want. There's very little room there for a child. Honestly, I would make a rotten mother. (Note: This doesn't mean I think any less of my friends with children. Maude knows some people need to want and love children or we'd be a very sad and short-lived race.)
In 2003 I was diagnosed with thyroid disease and put on synthetic hormones to even out my T3 and T4 levels. I decided that my body (which is, much to my annoyance, frail and easily messed up) didn't need to be on two different hormones. The Levoxyl I don't have much choice about. I have to take it or my goiter will swell--not to mention the rest of my body. So I decided to ditch the birth control hormones and got the permanent birth control installed.
Asstarstraf says, I'm now a sports model, only good for having fun.
Just a side note: the only thing that makes me the teeny-tiniest bit sad is my parents are the best parents ever and they'd have made absolutely super grandparents. I do feel a little bad that they'll never have a grandchild from me, but that's not enough reason to have a kid.
