Rupert Everett says being a father not for him
Already godfather to ten children, Rupert Everett says he has no plans to pursue fatherhood, himself. His various godchildren are already somewhat disgruntled with his parenting skills, so much so that Rupert has decided that being a dad just isn’t part of his future.
I love kids…but I’m not a very good godfather. I’m not good at remembering s. I don’t believe in Father’s Day or Mother’s Day. I don’t even like Christmas — I find it all a bit sick. People are emotionally tricked into spending so much money. So I don’t think I will adopt. I don’t think it’s for me.

Wow – he sounds like loads of fun! At least he’s honest!

I love that he is so honest about it. Not everyone is meant to be a parent and I love that he has recognized it about himself.

It’s good that he realizes now that it isn’t for him. Better now than after having a child.

I don’t believe in Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or GiftDay ( Xmas ) either.
But I do love being a mum :p
He sounds very level-headed to me

He’s like the male answer to Helen Mirren’s views on parenthood and if it’s for them or not. But hey, at least they know and that’s more than I can say for others. And I know they’re not the only ones.
I say it’s better to know than to guess and have one and realize you might’ve made a mistake and can’t take back your decisions.
