Maybe that's one of the gifts a childless woman has to give to the world - it's precisely because I don't have any children of my own that I have the time and energy to give a listening presence and "on your side" comfort to other people's children who are feeling just as alone, misfitted and isolated as I have so often felt.



You are right,Eagle! We do have the time.But also do feel left out. Maybe it's best that we don't know about our own child rearing. This way, our opinion is from a whole different side of life.

Interesting...today I was talking to a mother about how I think children should be today, complimenting on hers...how they seem to be good little girls with no "metal" sticking out their noses and lips!! She was listening very intensely. She then said, "And how many children do you have?" Of course, my heart sank. But I said, "None.I was not blessed with any". She made no comment but "oh, you don't have any?". PERIOD!

But gosh, I must have sounded like I knew what I was talking about!! LOL!!!
