  • Vasectomy vs. tube tied | Parental Composure

    In this lively & entertaining episode, Mike & Elise battle it out on who should be the one getting the “permanent birth control” procedure done. Does the father get a vasectomy, or does the mother get a tubal ligation? Elise feels that after a mother goes through the process of carrying and birthing the kids, men should definitely be willing to go through with a vasectomy. Mike, on the other hand, has his own opinions. After getting a botched vasectomy last week, one can only guess how he is feeling!
