Well, I'm relieved! I spoke very much from the gut, without thinking what it might sound like, and then I was mad at myself.
Yeah ... I wanted to have a kid (kids, actually, originally) because I like kids - not for the usual reasons, I guess. And I found out that it isn't quite like taking care of someone else's - I didn't quite count on the conflicting emotional crap (or the post-partum depression). But even the way most women talk about their kids drives me nuts.
(And let's not talk about the hypocrisy inherent in my talking about anyone's makeup as a mask and an obfuscation when I'm dying my hair to hide the grey ... .)
