I have nothing maternal in me, and men want to be mothered a lot of the time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Being a mother is complicated because it's not just a paternal culture making demands on you; it's those internal demands and expectations that women have and are self-generated.
I am not maternal at all. I don't have any kids.
I can be maternal with my friends.
I have no maternal instinct whatsoever. Motherhood holds no interest for me.
I'm eulogised by a lot of men, but they wouldn't take me home to meet their mothers.
Some men don't have the opportunity to be the type of father they need to be, and I hope my example teaches them to step up.
I'm not the kind of person who needs to be a mother no matter what. Life brings you people. Maybe I'll nurture someone who's not my child, like a friend, or an actor I'm working with who needs some love.
Being a mother is quite tiring. There's not much time to do anything. You just rush around and it's hard work.
I think we are not yet well aware that, unfortunately, we have a short time to be moms. This is not to suggest that we should rush to have children or do it in a crazy way. I think that's the most important decision of a woman's life.
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.
