I've never been particularly maternal. — © Clare Balding
I've never been particularly maternal.
I was always very maternal with my friends. I wasn't the kind of little girl that played with dolls and pretended I was the mommy. I wasn't that child, so when I say I was always maternal, I don't mean in that sense - but I've always been a nurturer.

Maternal mortality health is a very sensitive indicator. All you need to look at is a country's maternal mortality rate. That is a surrogate for whether the country's health system is functioning. If it works for women, I'm sure it will work for men.
If the day's writing has been particularly good or particularly bad, a glass of scotch will be involved.

We've never been in a time where mothers - parenthood, but particularly motherhood - is so fetishized.
