I always knew I didn’t want kids. I knew from a really young age. When I was at Primary school some girls in my class had those plastic dolls with the creepy eyes. They would play mother and baby and pretend to feed them and rock them to sleep. I stood up and announced rather dramatically ‘I’m never having a baby.’ The whole class looked at me. The teacher raised her eyebrows. You’ll change your mind she said. But I never did.
