When asked if she is going to have children one day, Cameron Diaz has one answer: maybe, maybe not.
‘I’m not somebody who is going to declare either way if I’m absolutely
going to or I’m absolutely not going to have children. I have no idea,’
the actress tells Parade
in this Sunday’s issue. ‘I’m still young. I have an unbelievable life.
In some ways, I have the life that I have because I don’t have children.’‘I don’t think it’s a compromise to have children,’ she says. ‘Everything I’m bringing into my life right now isn’t geared toward
that. It might be one day.’ “
Clear enough for you?
Undoubtedly Cameron is going to face this question very often over the next few weeks as she promotes her new film, ‘My Sister’s Keeper.’ She plays a mother who is sued for emancipation by one of her daughters. (It’s based on the Jodi Picoult novel, and if you haven’t read that, then you should 
I think it’s good that Cameron won’t bow to pressure to have children; motherhood is not something anyone should be pushed into!

more importantly, why on earth is she wearing a glorified bathrobe?
I don’t hate kids but I don’t love kids either.
I don’t think I will have kids in the future.
Some people told me that I would change how I feel when I have a baby
but who would take the responsibility if I didn’t feel like raising kids still?
So I don’t want people to tell me that I should have a baby.
You should not recommend something that is about someone’s life.
The first 2 years of my marriage I was constantly asked if I was pregnant, or thinking about it. It was so frusterating. Honestly, why are people so preoccupied with this? I tend to agree with alot of the people here that having children is not for everyone. I intend on having kids someday, but I haven’t made up my mind yet.
Good for her. She know what she wants and what’s best for her, rather than what other people think she should be
Those type of questions would never be asked if she were a man, is true. Women carry this scarlet letter on when we should marry, become mothers…etc etc. Her life is complete without both, not every single woman has to marry and have kids.
Well said! :O)
so true!
must see
And not every married woman, for that matter.
CAMERON DIAZ, IS NOT YOUNG, IF SHE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE KIDS SHE’D BETTER HURRY, BECAUSE AFTER 40 WILL BE MORE DIFFICULT !!
WHY IS SHE LYING TO HERSELF ??
PERFECT AGE TO HAVE KIDS IS AROUND: 28 YEARS OLD
of course she’s still young! she can have kids in a few years. She’s happy with where she is and if she decides to have kids later, let’s say after 40+, then she can freezed her eggs or whatever. Technology girl!
the best part is BIGGER TITS, folks!!
I never read the book but have picked it up a couple times in a bookstore. I guess I should of went with it! I saw the trailer and it looks heartbreaking!

hi there, this is very off topic and i’m not an english mother tongue, but what’s with the “i shoud OF went…”? i read it everywhere on the net. isn’t it “i should HAVE (GONE)…”? is it colloquial language or something?
can s.o. explain this to me, please? =)
I pity anyone who chooses to spend ANY moment of their 20′s with a child. I LOVE Cammie she is not afraid to LIVE her LIFE and not conform and pop out babies. And 37 is young, people have kids much later these days. Only teenagers and women who are miserable think anything over 25 is old.
Well, hello. Right on!
totally agree. a lot of people have kids thinking a baby will strengthen a relationship or make their lives exciting. hooray for cammie for living her life and taking her time to decide whether or not a child would fit.
Hey, hey. I admit that 23 was too young to have a child. BUT, I’d been married two years (also, way too young!) and it seemed like the logical next step. Yes, I sort of wish I’d waited, but then that particular sperm wouldn’t have fertilized that particular egg and I wouldn’t have my Henry!
Seriously, though. Don’t pity me. I’m cool with my choices.
oh man, i wonder for how long we will still have to discuss this issue.
a human is complete with or without a child.
if you feel like having one you should rather be questioned again and again and again b/c it’s one big duty to carry!
which leads me again to the question why we have to be tested for a driving license but not for raising a human being…
rant: off.

Word.
You’re right it is “I should have gone”; but this is the internet blogs and proper English is not a priority. I’ve made plenty of grammar and spelling errors too.
Certainly lots of women do have children later in life, especially in Hollywood. But any doctor would say pregnancy over 35 is considered “high risk”.
The way cells divide as women age makes them more at risk to have a child with downs syndrome or a birth defect, or have a pre full term birth as they get older.
It’s great that Cameron’s so happy with her state in life, though.
She is being honest and it is lovely. The problem with some woman is they say they want kids but you see them messing around with the guys who are not ready to settle down. I don’t like this kind of woman who lies to the public and don’t take the nessessary steps.
I have kids and I wouldn’t have it any other way. However, children are NOT for everybody and I admire people who can admit that. You’d have a lot less f***ed up people in the world if everyone could be that honest with themselves. Not everyone is meant to be a parent.
Very well said! Being a parent is definitely not for everyone!
Having children is a super personal decision and really no one has the right to ask anyone this question, but I suppose because she is a public figure the press thinks she is fair game….
I agree,Vera. I actually think that it is RUDE! to ask a woman if she’s going to have kids. That woman may not be able to have kids & everytime the question is asked, it causes more pain. I work with a super sweet lady who is unable to have children. Other women treat her like she’s a terrible person and I find it very,rude.
Some of us do not want kids but I don not appreciate ppl telling me that I’m a selfish person and yes! that has happened. Also! I do not hate,kids. That has been said to me too and it’s a totally ignorant thing to say.
