None Breeders

Reading Jeanette Winterson on her upbringing in saturdays Guardian caused an aversion in me. There is something I find wholly depressing in adults moaning about their poor parental lot. Surely once you pass the ages your parents were when they made mistakes you should be able to realise that you are still making mistakes too and forgive. As a none breeder (so far) I know that I am still free to believe the story I have written about myself. Only when you have children is the narrative properly disrupted. Parents often lose their sense of  fantasy but none parents are much worse, at best we are childlike, at worst childish.
