Have you ever seen parents with children who don’t like children?
Sometimes it’s the mom who dresses up her little girl like a doll and tries to cover up her scratches and bruises with tights and makeup. Or it’s the dad who doesn’t have time to play right now and probably never will. Or the couple in the ice cream shop who figures it’s easier to give in to the tantrum and buy the chocolate sprinkle cone than to face their five-year-old’s wrath.
These people like the idea of kids. They usually love their own kids. But kids in general? Not so much.
And you can tell.
Guess what? There are writers who don’t like writing.
