So my mom thinks that I need to be on birth control for the first few years of marriage to avoid me getting pregnant so I can finish school and get settled in a job. I told her that I would not be taking birth control and they we are using the NFP method. She went off about how it doesn't work and thats how so and so, and so and so were born (she is not Catholic which may make this make more sense). I told her that the NFP is not the same as the rythym method and that it is based off of very specific things like tempature and mucus. My mom is good friends with my best friends mom who are Catholic and are very much intune with their faith. So I get a phone call this morning about how she talked to her and how my friends mom went and talked about birth control with their priest and the priest said that it was ok and so they were on birh control for the first few years. She also told my mom that it only allows for around 2 days a month for sex and that that is something that is really hard in the beginning years of marriage. Me and my fiance wont be actually living together for the first 6 months until i'm done with school because he can't leave his job. I will also admit that we were having sex berfore marriage and were at one point using condoms but when I decied to come into the Catholic church I wanted to stop having sex so we stopped and it's been about 1 1/2 years since then. Now it has been hard and we have slipped up a few times here and there but I feel like if we could work through those hormones we can work through more.
I don't know why this is bugging me so much but I swear if she brings it up again I might to go Bizerk! I feel like it's not her choice and she doesn't need to keep bringing it up. Me and my fiance have made this decision a long time ago and I really don't feel like adding even more medication to my medicine cabinet with my ahstma, let alone all the gross stuff that comes with birth control.
Any tips on how to get here off my back?
