Question
Limited OT, please.
Okay.......I'm getting snipped.
My GF's okay with it, but I'm kinda concerned how I break it to my little rich and cranky Grammy that the line will now end with me. I'm 40 and she still thinks any minute I'm going to get married and produce an heir. Hate to tell her but no little future Jon Boy nor Angus will ever appear in this lifetime. My sister has two children ( one boy and one girl ) but because they don't have the family surname, my Grandmother pretty much thinks they don't really count. She thinks we're all blue bloods and therefore "special" and already has big plans for my future MALE offspring. ( baby girls would be pampered but basically ignored, of course ).
Now isn't that special?
Any ideas how I can tell my Grandmother ( after the surgery, of course, as she'll try to put a stop to it if she knows ahead of time ) without endangering my life, my peace, and of course, despite my lame protestations of not wanting it, my eventual huge inheritance? I wouldn't put it past her to have me committed, pay the doctor off, or her feign a stroke or heart attack to stop me, so I prefer to tell her when it's a done deal.
Also, has anybody here had a vasectomy and could maybe give me some assurance that it's not really all that painful or dangerous and that ( big ) Sam The Sham and The Pharoahs will all still work correctly?

She could get a female vasectomy if it's that important to her.
Grandma: NOOOOOO!!!!!
You: Just kidding. Actually, I just had a vasectomy.
Grandma: Well, OK then.

Just my opinion.
Not to mention, a vasectomy has the possibility of being reversed, a hysterectomy has no chance of that.

Especially if the couple has had one or more kids - if a woman's gone through pregnancy and birth, I think she'd paid her dues enough!

Vasectomy is also considered permanent, it's very expensive to try to get it reversed, and results aren't guaranteed.
You'd rather have your wife undergo major surgery instead?

Either way, it's more invasive for a female and can have more complications. I know that vasectomies should be considered permanent, but you can also attempt to reverse them. Whether or not it actually works is completely different.
