It's interesting, I had absolutely no maternal instinct. I'm much more interested in young people now.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have no maternal instinct whatsoever. Motherhood holds no interest for me.
Babies did not attract me, and I was altogether without the maternal sense so highly developed in small and adolescent girls.
I love motherhood. I certainly wasn't aware of any mothering instincts until I had babies. I wasn't a person who desperately wanted to have kids, but you don't get it until you do it, and, suddenly, this nurturing instinct exists.
It felt natural. That is what I remember most about becoming a father halfway through my 20s. As if Mother Nature was giving me the big thumbs up.
No one believes me when I talk about this, but I'm really, really maternal.
I've never been particularly maternal.
I think motherhood is just about instinct.
I know for my wife and I, we always loved the idea of being young parents.
I wanted to get a taste of what it would feel like to be a mum. I've always had a strong maternal instinct and ideally I would love one of my own.
I have always had strong maternal instincts. Even when I was still a child I cut out pictures of prams from newspapers and imagined the feeling of pushing my own pram through fresh winter snow and seeing the wheels' tracks behind me in the snow.
