I got a hysterectomy last summer and now people don’t ask me about kids much anymore. People who don’t know me well think that I am upset over losing my ability to reproduce. The people I know well know that I had a small party after I got rid of my reproductive organs. I had a custom cake made and everything.
10/10 best medical decisions I’ve ever made for myself
Someone asked us if we’re planning kids at some party recently and some other friend quickly said “you shouldn’t ask questions like that, it’s rude. you don’t know what people could be going through”. The other person simply said “you’re right” and moved on.
I’m sure it must be great not having to deal with your body beating itself up for not getting pregnant that month. It might be invasive and feel free not to answer but im curious, have you noticed any other improvements or issues since then?

My wife had a hysterectomy due to extreme endometriosis a few years ago. We had a Yeeterus party. Our friend made a uterus shaped piñata to bash.
I hesitate to ask what prizes were inside the piñata.
Just regular candy…
Missed a chance

Cream pies
Swedish fish
I’d do a search for reproductive organ candy, but I really don’t need that in my history. Or my eyeballs.
I’m not sure if a king cake would have been appropriate here. Fortunately they’re shitty cakes in addition to being a dental hazard.

People are slowly learning.
Asking people if they’re planning to have kids is like asking an unemployed person if they’ve found a job yet.
