Episode 10: Snippity Snip
Sep 5, 202300:14:00Tap to summarizeIn this week's episode I address a hot topic that many dads have considered getting done--vasectomies. As someone who went through the procedure a year ago it wasn't a frightening experience. I hope my opinion and retelling of the procedure may ease some minds as to why I don't have regrets doing the right thing. Family planning is a very serious discussion that should involve both parties in a marriage, and while I was not pressured into getting one I am sure glad I did.
