Re: Does not having children (in your 30s plus) bother you?
Actually, my post was badly worded and gave the wrong impression. Sorry. I didn't mean that a kid with ADHD or autism is a 'monster'. I was thinking more of obnoxious, badly behaved kids. And I used the word 'monster' is a jokey sense. I don't dislike children at all. Some are beautiful and astonishing. And I would never be cruel or spiteful to a child, certainly not one with special needs. On the contrary, I cannot bear cruelty towards those who cannot defend themselves.
I do think it would be a nightmare to have a child who fought you every time you tried to dress him for school, or who was hyped up 24/7. But then I guess when it's your own you feel differently.
