All We Are Saying

[Boots]

I don't know what anyone here expects from Stevie when she discusses not having children. She is basically implying that her life of fame and rock and roll and partying and touring are all enveloped into a selfishness that she couldn't inflict upon a child...hence her not having any. The only person who had kids during the height of FM's success was Mick, and he cocked that up tremendously...he never saw them, his marriage and sexual proclivities were a mess. Don't you think that Stevie witnessed as well as lived that life and came to the conclusion that she couldn't do this to a kid? Or that she couldn't take a child away from school and friends so that Mommy could go to Australia for a tour, or go to Europe to support an album? It happened to her when she was a child, but her dad was a company executive. She probably didn't want her kid to be so uprooted like she was AND have this insane celebrity life too.

It's also pretty unfair to denounce her statements that she couldn't have kids while with Fleetwood Mac claiming, that assuming that wanted to party too much to have them. As mentioned, Christine didn't have children either, and her partying ways weren't of the same level as Stevie's. Also, Lindsey didn't have kids until very much later in life himself, and that's only because he's a man and his "boys" can still swim past a certain age. Same thing with John. He didn't have kids until the FM craziness died down. Mick was the only one with kids, and again, as mentioned...his lifestyle - selfish or not (and there is an element of selfishness in how we chose our lives) wasn't so great on them.

Give the lady credit. This was a personal decision by her, and I as a fan have no right to tell her why she didn't want to bring kids into this world.
