You must be joking. The easiest thing for a woman to do is get pregnant, it is
even easier for Americans because the women can easily visit a sperm bank.

I'm sure you don't understand the post. She said she can't withstand talking to someone who don't respond, and I still maintain that she lacks attitude for family. She is obviously not the listening type for family relationship development, she obviously won't be patient and caring. She is the type that will be more concerned about just herself.

So please read and understand as it is not about how easy it is to get pregnant and bear a child, but nurturing growth.

American billionaire and media mogul, Oprah Winfrey, in a recent interview, says she never wanted children because she doesn’t have motherly instincts.

The 64-year-old billionaire believes she would have been a terrible mother because she can’t communicate with anyone who cannot speak.

Oprah opened up about her decision not to have children during a sit down with Gwyneth Paltrow‘s first episode of “The Goop” podcast.

She told Paltrow she could never have raised two babies like Paltrow has done because raising babies would have been too frustrating.

“I don’t think I would have been a good mother for baby children, because I need you to talk to me, and I need you to tell me what’s wrong,” she said. “I can’t just figure it out. I knew this about myself.”

I was always better with kids once they turned two-and-a-half, three, I had a real resonance with them. Gayle (King) was like, ‘Don’t you love babies?’ I was like, ‘Oh, babies are fine.’ It didn’t feel like [having babies] was for me.”
she said

HORRIBLE REASON FOR NOT HAVING KIDS, IF YOUR MOTHER WAS ABLE TO COMMUNICATE TO YOU WHILE YOU WERE SMALL, YOU TOO CAN DO SAME.
WHAT ABOUT GETTING A NANNY? .#WHAT#AN#UNREASONABLE#EXCUSE#
Re: "Why I Never Wanted Children" - Oprah Winfrey by Daeylar(f): 12:57pm On Mar 11, 2018
Nice that she knew that kids and marriage are not for her and she stuck to that and didn't allow her mind to be changed.

I respect that so much about her.

Hopefully we get to a point where people don't need to explain why they don't want to have kids.
It's a choice to have kids or to get married.
No one needs to explain why they don't want either.

It is you who don't understand, you do not need an "attitude" to raise a child, many of those
criticising her are no better mothers. Since there are no certifications for motherhood, any
woman can give birth and train a child whichever way she deemed fit.
That Oprah came out to state her view doesn't make any one better than her in "attitude", she is
just one of the few self-reflecting people we have out there.

Some Nigerians self. Every little thing they want to attach spiritual meaning to it. over spirituality and superstition is one of our drawbacks. I as a person have decided am not having children for reasons best understood by me. And am not into anything fetish. And i intend to get married. And live my life with my wife alone. Cant do children wahala.

Bye bye. Please also ask ask yourself why she choose to keep a relationship that has no intention of marriage for over 30 years?

The difference is...
A mother is any female animal that conceives / get pregnant to bear offsprings.

A mummy is any female animal that sacrifices herself (time, energy, efforts etc..) educating, weaning, nuturing and bringing up the offsprings.

So a lady that bears a child and later gives it up for adoption is a mother NOT a mummy. That's why adopted kids have mothers and mummies at the same time.

Even ducklings would always follow the hen NOT duck that hatches them... vice versa.

It's called nature!

What a good definition, maybe the Bible shud be rewritten or what do you think cos I checked through but didn't see anywhere mummy was mentioned. U can give any definition to mother or mummy, I care less but I wanna believe even in the holy books, there's no where mummy was mentioned so I'll say, d term mummy is human translation and human originated, my mother would always be mother and not my mummy because I know a mother and not a mummy. We abandon our own traditions and carry another tradition and we r so good in defending anoda tradition whereas ours lies in waste.
There's no amount of words u can use to convince me because even till date a mummy is never celebrated rather a mother all over the world. I don't know if that strikes a point.

I see ur kind of person and won't get into any arguments. You're one of the many rigid fellows that only see what you want to see. You use Christianity as a disguise and veil to satisfying ur greed.

What if tomorrow morning, you're quietly called into a private room by both ur supposedly 'parents'. They now reveal to you that they're not ur biological parents and you're adopted by them at 6mths old. So do you stop referring to them as ur parents even though they're not ur biological parents?

You need to stop analyzing the bible wrongly for foolish justification. Ask the holy spirit for divine guidance.
