Good day confessors; you know what I love about blogging? It’s
the fact that every morning I get up not knowing what kinds of stories the day
is going to bring. Today’s confession is one of those that just leave you with
a dazed and confused look on your face. Our story comes from a gentleman in
Birmingham England, and he wrote this…
Sup CK
(Sup CK??? ...no respect…anyhow)
I cannot take this anymore, I cannot afford this anymore. My
wife has had 5 children in the last 7 years, we have 8 in total. Can you
imagine having that many mouths to feed in these difficult financial times? I
worry constantly about what would happen to them if I were to lose my job. Mine
is the only salary coming into house since my wife is “always” pregnant.
I am sure you will not believe me because I can hardly
believe it myself but over the last seven years I have had sex with my wife
seven times and five of those times she became pregnant and the other two years
we only had sex twice because my wife was too tired most of the time with
looking after the babies.
My best friend keeps suggesting I have a night out with him
on the pull so that I can at least get laid, but that is not my style, I love
my wife and our children. It is not my wife’s fault that she is so fertile. My
mother offered to pay privately for me to get the snip but just the thought of
that makes me cringe. I have considered asking my wife to get her tubes tided but
we are both relatively young and it seems unfair for me to ask her to do something
that I do not even want to do.
But we absolutely cannot afford to have any more children.
It has gotten to the point where I am afraid to have sex with my wife in case
she becomes pregnant again. I know there is birth control widely available but
my wife and I are devout Catholics and birth control is prohibited in our
faith. It would be a borderline sin for my wife to have her tubes tide so I cannot
ask her to do that.
Please Carol if you or your readers could offer me some
suggestions that do not go against my faith I would appreciate it very much.
Thank you kindly
Frightened Dad
WOW!! Right now I have such a gormless look on my face as I really
do not know what to say to you mate. My first suggestion was to have a tie off,
but you can’t do that. Then birth control, but you can’t do that either.
SERIOUSLY though is the Pope gonna pay to raise your kids? I do not mean to disrespect
your religion but how can the powers that be in the catholic faith be cruel
enough to force people to continually have children that they cannot afford to
feed.
I do feel that there must be a loop hole somewhere. I cannot
believe that God fearing people could be so cruel to their own. The Pope is not
starving in any way shape or fashion so why would he want his followers too? I
would suggest talking to your priest to see if there is any way around this.
You said that getting your tubes tied is a borderline sin. Well that sounds
like an “out” to me, because I do not know how something could be a “borderline”
sin. It either is or it isn’t.
So I say find out which it is, suck it up and
get it cut.
SNIP SNIP!!
Take care
Carol xoxo

The priest is going to say it's a sin. Not to be insensitive to your religion, but I think this particular sin is the least of God's worries. You love your wife & kids, you're faithful, you do everything you can to support your family and you're a devout Catholic. It sounds like you will be admitted into the "Pearly Gates" whether you snip or not :)
Your obviously a wise woman Noche, thanks for sharing. I hope that "Frightened Dad" heeds your advice.
