Get off my lawn!
Lunchbox:
I think it's the other way around. Vasectomies are reversible (my boyfriend's dad had his reversed not long ago and now has a lovely baby girl), tube litigations are not.
Patrick:
I thought both were reversable. My bad. :\
Lines:
Tube tying is an incision, not actually tying your tubes. They make a cut so the egg floats out into your body instead of to the uterus. I don't know if it's reversible or not, but there is still that chance where a lady could get pregnant, though the chances are pretty slim.
Edit: Whoops, it's not always tying. Huh. Didn't think they actually tied them anymore.

It seems to not be reversible.

My folks are the same way. My mom, not so much, but my father very much so. He still has to tell me what he thinks about every decision I make and if it's not the same decision that he would have made, well... then it's wrong.
Except that starting in my late 20s I began to realize that there were things that he didn't know. Not only things that he didn't know, but things that I did. I started realizing that there were things I could do that he couldn't. That, I think, was very liberating for both of us. So though he's still highly opinionated (as am I) we are able to communicate more as peers than we ever were in the past. I actually see now that he has doubts and regrets, which are two things I never would have imagined my father capable of even when I was say... 25. Probably because he never showed that side to me. He's a lot more human now than he was then.
I also started to realize that my mother was smarter than I ever gave her credit for. There is something to be said for the ability to hold a household together and do it pretty well. I didn't really have any respect for that when I was younger, but I do now. I find myself seeking the advice of my mother more now than I ever did as a kid. She was also pretty insanely patient with me considering what a raging asshole I was. She was also pretty tolerant of the clothes, music, art etc. Far more so tolerant than I gave her credit at the time.
