“I don’t think I could properly educate a child right now. Maybe in the future, but I actually haven’t thought about it.” Carey said having children would leave her feeling “violated… I know that’s a kind of weird thing to say, but that’s how I am. You gotta take care of yourself.” “You have to try and stay pretty, you know.”

She added:

“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.” Currently Carey is in London to promote a new album, and has confessed spending a lot of time babying herself. And of her extravagant demands at Claridge’s, where she is staying in London, she said: “You gotta take care of yourself. You have to try and stay pretty, you know.”
