Of course not…it would be a spiteful and petty thing to do.
Y’know, women like myself, who have chosen not to have children, garner astounding opprobrium for our assumed lack of maternal instinct; whilst prodigious breeders are lauded for the earth-mothering capacities that their evident fecundity allegedly bestows.
The truth is proved sadly to the contrary time and again with reports of slatternly, haphazard, brutal and murderous mamas, hitting the headlines on a weekly if not daily basis; and for every incident of neglect or abuse that enters the public domain, there are hundreds and thousands that do not.
How often does an act of child-brutality get prefaced with comments from the vigilante mob with
“As a mum..this disgusts me..blah blah..” or “As a parent myself, this affects me..yadda yadda..”
Well I’m not a mother, but I know what it is to feel tender protective adoration for a tiny baby, for a small child, for any vulnerable innocent creature adrift in a world capable of peddling depravity and evil in tandem with purity and good.
I am a mother to each and every person I love, I nourish and nurture, I suckle with my spirit if not my breasts (although..they do sometimes play a part :wink:) and I would and do fight dragons for them.
If we were less surprised by the wicked that mothers can do, then perhaps fewer desperate, abused and unloved children would have to suffer unseen.

The Art of Poetry
by Jorge Luis BorgesTo gaze at a river made of time and water
And remember Time is another river.
To know we stray like a river
and our faces vanish like water.To feel that waking is another dream
that dreams of not dreaming and that the death
we fear in our bones is the death
that every night we call a dream.To see in every day and year a symbol
of all the days of man and his years,
and convert the outrage of the years
into a music, a sound, and a symbol.To see in death a dream, in the sunset
a golden sadness–such is poetry,
humble and immortal, poetry,
returning, like dawn and the sunset.Sometimes at evening there’s a face
that sees us from the deeps of a mirror.
Art must be that sort of mirror,
disclosing to each of us his face.They say Ulysses, wearied of wonders,
wept with love on seeing Ithaca,
humble and green. Art is that Ithaca,
a green eternity, not wonders.Art is endless like a river flowing,
passing, yet remaining, a mirror to the same
inconstant Heraclitus, who is the same
and yet another, like the river flowing.
