The Daily Mail has a segment from Mariah Carey’s OK! Magazine interview, and when asked whether she’s ready to have a child she said that she hasn’t really thought about it and that “she never wanted to feel violated.” The Mail interprets this as saying that she’s claiming that having a child would make her feel violated, but she also mentioned “childhood traumatic stuff,” and it’s possible she’s saying that she never wanted to feel violated as a child. I couldn’t make up my mind if she actually said children would make her feel that way:
“It’s hard to have kids in this world,” she told OK! magazine. “I don’t think I could properly educate a child right now. Maybe in the future, but I actually haven’t thought about it.
“For now, I enjoy my dog Jack’s company. It’s definitely because of childhood traumatic stuff. The whole not wanting to have a baby as a baby.
“I never wanted to feel violated and I know that’s a kind of weird thing to say, but that’s how I am.”

You have to give women credit for knowing themselves and realizing that they’re not emotionally prepared to be a mother. There is something violating about being puked and peed on. You also can’t go to the bathroom by yourself at many points in your child’s life. It’s an incredibly hard job and it’s something you shouldn’t just do on a whim. In Mariah’s case, she pretty much says she hasn’t even thought about it, so you can probably assume she thinks about things like perfume decanters, one of a kind lingerie, and high thread count sheets.
Mariah also revealed that she has to have the microphone sterilized if anyone else touches it, saying “My life is bizarrely healthy in some ways. I have to be overly aware of people holding the microphones. Singers who are tuned into that know that if someone touches your microphone you have to sterilise it.” That’s not healthy, that’s obsessive.

Mariah is mentally twelve. Thank God, she, unlike some people we could name, realizes that a child needs a grown ass adult for a parent.
-
at least she admits that she loves herself too much to give love to another human being. being a mother is a tough job.
-
I know just what she means. If she had a child, I would feel violated too
-
Apart from the strange behaviour with the mic’ and the fact she is aware she shouldn’t get pregnant for the moment (as it appears she hasn’t got the mother instinct -yet?), I’m mostly puzzled by the fact that this is an odd case of “yellowing person”.
Her hair and her skin are not just the same colour, they’re almost exactly the same shade of it too!
Who would think that to be a good idea? Just who?
Mariah’s officially going beige.
-
God Bellatrix, you’re right LOL
-
I also think Mariah is sensible for realising she is not ready to be a mother.
-
perfume decanters? high-thread count linens? one of a kind lingerie? hmmm. perhaps i’ve underestimated the girl. i always though the extent of her brain activity was a constant humm of “me pretty. me very very pretty.” if she does stretch her brain to such things as linens and lingerie, i bet it’s to the extent of, “me look very very pretty on these pretty pretty sheets.” and “me look pretty pretty in this skimpy skimpy lacy thing.”

Ditto-she doesn’t want to have kids and is honest about it. No problem with that, she’s in the prime of her life and at the height of her game.

Although, I must say, I have met a couple of women who were terrible narcissists before they had children and turned into great moms because suddenly there was this cute little extension of self that could be totally focussed upon. So yes, it’s not ideal (because the child ends up thinking that they are the be-all-and-end-all) but they have very attentive, loving, adoring moms.
-
lol! journey, I was about to say that she comes across as a little bit simple but you’ve saved me the bother!
-
All women don’t want to be mothers just like all women don’t want to be married. Kudos to MC for being honest with herself and for not letting society dictate how she should live her life. There are way too many people (i.e. Brittany Spears, Nicole Ritchie, etc.) who should NOT have had kids. My only problem with MC is that I’m sick of seeing her in those childish clothes. She needs to fire her stylist pronto!
-
I think the above smileys represent all of MC’s many personalities…she’s a nutbag!
-
i think MaRiaH is smart not to have kids until she’s absolutely ready. your right Meredith about Britney spears and Nicole richie shout not have had kids yet because they were not mentally or emotionally ready for motherhood yet. I feel sorry for their kids cause both nicole and britney are messed up! and yeah Mariah is fake and has too many personalities and seems like a nutcase as well
-
this does NOT need to reproduce.
-
At least she’ll never be a mom dressed like that. Who wears tights under shorts anyway? At least she lost 20 lbs if not she’d look pretty damn gnarly in that get-up!
-
I agree w/the article, in that it’s appreciated that she can accept and admit that she is not one to mother a child…not everyone knows themselves that well, and will often times put themselves in that situation, realizing after the fact, that they’ve made a terrible mistake in allowing it to happen. We can all rest easy knowing that will not happen to Mariah.
-
I’d respect her more if she just came out and said she didn’t want children, period. Why do so many of the hollywood types refuse to just say they DON’T want children?
Children aren’t for everyone. I don’t want them. I’d feel violated knowing something was inside of me, leaching off me, too. -
I hear u MC. In my community people are always having kids they clearly dont want. Why should she have kids if she doesnt want them. I dont want kids either.
-
Same here Kennedy. I don’t begrudge anyone for having kids but I myself have come to realize children are not for me for various reasons. I love my family’s kids and my bff’s kids wholeheartedly but that’s it.
-
How many kids does she have right now tho. becuase i can’t find it anywhere and like they say that she has like 7 childrennn…….
-
Yeah…Any kid that is born to her would probably think it was a cruel cruel joke

yeah at least she didn’t adopt a kid just to dress it up and serve her own purposes. Kudos to her for that.
