Becoming A Mother At 50, After A Lifetime Of Saying I Didn't Want Kids

travel

I was a terrible babysitter. I didn't really like babies and kids, the single qualifying quality for a teenage sitter. The only thing that drew me to the job, besides the money, was the free time after the kids went to sleep and free HBO, and a chance to be alone in someone else's house with a refrigerator stocked with food. I wasn't maternal or nurturing. When I played Barbies, I'd act out passionate sexual adventures with Barbie and Ken in the bathtub, but I never had them marry. There was never a Barbie baby. My Barbies remained singular and interesting, unlike my parents.
