Like many women, Paula has faced criticism for her choices
Not everyone wants children. Among them is Paula Stewart - who knew from a young age motherhood just wasn’t for her. Paula was seven when she realised she didn’t have maternal feelings or a desire to have kids.
Paula says she has faced criticism for her choice for decades, finding it offensive when others assumed there was something wrong with her health. “It offends me when people say, ‘oh, I’m sorry,’ presuming that something is wrong with me.” But Paula, from Todmorden, just north of Rochdale, found a way to channel her love – through her animals.
“Now I have over 20 animals. From dogs and cats to a tortoise, snakes, lizards and a hamster – all of them have either been foster fails or rescues. I can just about afford to care for my animals. There’s no way I could afford a child on top.” “I remember a relative talking a lot about the biological clock and the fear of not finding a suitable partner in time. I couldn’t relate to any of it; I had no idea what she was talking about.
