Because I was very big and she was very small, my mother had a horrible birth when I was born. So she always said: 'I'm never having any more kids!'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My mum has never wanted me to have children. She thinks I would be destroying my life, even now.
When I was born, some of our relatives came to our house and told my mother, 'Don't worry, next time you will have a son.'
My mother did not like children.
I have friends who say, 'You just can't understand what it's like to be a mother until you're a mother.'
My mother desperately wanted children. She had a child that was stillborn - something I learned when I was looking through her 'effects' after she had died. It was then that I discovered my original birth certificate, which indicated the previous birth.
A lot of women say to me, 'You know, I really hated you because my kids wanted you to be their mother.'
I know plenty of people who don't have children. And I also get a lot of people who say, 'Thank you for speaking out; my family don't understand why I don't want kids.'
When I was a baby, my mother tells me I never slept because I never wanted to miss anything.
I didn't wake up one day and think, 'I'm not going to have children.' My mother was a housewife and brought up three children, so I just thought it would happen.
I've never in my life said I didn't want to have children. I did and I do and I will!
