Mariah Carey says that having kids would make her feel violated

The Daily Mail has a segment from Mariah Carey's OK! Magazine interview, and when asked whether she's ready to have a child she said that she hasn't really thought about it and that "she never wanted to feel violated." The Mail interprets this as saying that she's claiming that having a child would make her feel violated, but she also mentioned "childhood traumatic stuff," and it's possible she's saying that she never wanted to feel violated as a child. I couldn't make up my mind if she actually said children would make her feel that way:

"It's hard to have kids in this world," she told OK! magazine. "I don't think I could properly educate a child right now. Maybe in the future, but I actually haven't thought about it.
"For now, I enjoy my dog Jack's company. It's definitely because of childhood traumatic stuff. The whole not wanting to have a baby as a baby.
"I never wanted to feel violated and I know that's a kind of weird thing to say, but that's how I am."

You have to give women credit for knowing themselves and realizing that they're not emotionally prepared to be a mother. There is something violating about being puked and peed on. You also can't go to the bathroom by yourself at many points in your child's life. It's an incredibly hard job and it's something you shouldn't just do on a whim. In Mariah's case, she pretty much says she hasn't even thought about it, so you can probably assume she thinks about things like perfume decanters, one of a kind lingerie, and high thread count sheets.

Mariah also revealed that she has to have the microphone sterilized if anyone else touches it, saying "My life is bizarrely healthy in some ways. I have to be overly aware of people holding the microphones. Singers who are tuned into that know that if someone touches your microphone you have to sterilise it." That's not healthy, that's obsessive.
