Baby on Board?

It'd be nice not to have to pump fake hormones into your body just to not conceive right?  *personally, I haven't taken the pill in years and never will again.  But that's besides the point*  Well, the idea of a male birth control pill has been knockin' about for a while.   Writer Christine Estima discusses just that in her recent article on Blisstree.  And guess who's 'lil ol' opinion is mentioned?  I'll give you two guesses and the first one better not be The Cookie Monster."

Personally, I just think that as it's my body, and I'm not sure I'd be willing to trust the changes that would happen with pregnancy and birth to someone else.   This is a little daily habit that someone has to be strictly regimented in - same time, every day - it's a hard habit to get into.   And let's face it, there are a lot of dead beat dads out there who left their girlfriends high and dry when she got pregnant - so who knows if they'd care to be that strict about it.  Besides the weighty issues, to me it's the fact that I'm trusting this person to remember to do this every single day, at the same time.  That's a lot of trust and faith to put into another person.  Especially when he can't even remember to put his dirty dishes in the sink!

Plus, I tend not to cede control easily.  *hush you! I know I'm anal retentive!*
