I wouldn t have been a good mom: Oprah

Los Angeles Feb 25 (IANS) Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey believes she wouldn t have been a good mother.

The 63-year-old has no regrets about not having children because she doesn t have the patience for babies reports people.com.

I didn t want babies. I wouldn t have been a good mom for babies. I don t have the patience. I have the patience for puppies but that s a quick stage Winfrey told Good Housekeeping UK magazine.

Winfrey gave birth to a son when she was just 14 but he died in hospital a few weeks later.

She doesn t think she missed out on being a parent because she is a mother figure to the 172 girls at her Leadership Academy boarding school in Johannesburg South Africa.

When people were pressuring me to get married and have children I knew I was not going to be a person that ever regretted not having them because I feel like I am a mother to the world s children she said.

Love knows no boundaries. It doesn t matter if a child came from your womb or if you found that person at age 2 10 or 20. If the love is real the caring is pure and it comes from a good space it works she added.
