I would not be a good mother. I mean, I love being an aunt to my niece and nephew. And I used to want to, like, adopt 10 kids - because I had friends who were adopted, and I thought that was the coolest thing, to be chosen. But again, my job is too selfish.

Summary

This quote reflects the person's self-awareness and honesty about their own limitations and priorities. Despite having positive experiences with being an aunt and an admiration for adoption, they believe that their current lifestyle and career would not allow them to be a good mother. They acknowledge the need for selflessness and dedication that parenting requires and feel unable to meet those demands due to their perceived self-centeredness in their job. Thus, they have made the decision to prioritize their own needs over becoming a mother.
