Haha "fosterered". Obviously teh typing isn't something I'll be passing on.

Sorry, Mark, you called me a robot (and you know me well enough, I hope, to know that I'm not) so I just wasn't sure. Also because I use "cheers" in a sarky voice more often than not. Thanks :-)

Seconded on Mary's post. Much more eloquent than my ramblings.

Aww, I'm blushing, or maybe that's just the heat from my malfunctioning biological clock.

the problem with working in any kind of arts/media job these days is that it's completely dominated by childless workaholic witches and their gay-male flying monkeys, both of whom despise people with families - especially the dads.

Wow Nath, I thought I'd been pretty clear about my stance on being a parent. It ain't gonna happen. Ive felt this way since I can ever remember and ffs I am 35; this isnt like going "hm maybe I do want to go on a holiday this year after all", its a fundamental biological thing. I dont have any maternal urges. And it is people who, like you did, say "oh you'll change your mind" as if me being this way is WRONG somehow that saddens me, really. I've always been happy and congratulatory and undersdtanding of parents even though I dont wish to join their ranks. I am amazed how often I'm not extended the same courtesy.

If it helps - I have fallen pregnant before. I had an abortion. No regrets. Sorry. Not going to apologise for it.

sarahell otm. the thread title sets up a pointless opposition that the OP then blithely ignores in order to make a blandly 'trenchant' observation. bfd.
