[color:"darkgreen"]Thank you. Hepburn sounds like she's a perfectionist, and she knows herself well, to combat pressure from either family or society to reproduce. Especially during the 40�s, 50�s and 60�s when pressure would have been at an all time high. Sadly, it still is even in the 2000�s. Her quote is something to live by in a child-centered world. There is nothing wrong with not feeling maternal. It's quite liberating actually. [/color] <img src="/images/graemlins/irish.gif" alt="" />
If motherhood doesn't interest you, don't do it. It didn't interest me, so I didn't do it. Anyway, I would have made a terrible parent. The first time my child didn't do what I wanted, I'd kill him." --Katherine Hepburn
