In a casual interview with The Sunday Times, Billie Eilish has shared how she would want to be a mother but the thought of becoming one in today's America dreads her. The reason it scares her is because of the school shootings that have been on the rise in the country and have claimed many lives and traumatized many little ones.

Billie Eilish has shared that she wants to be a mom.
The 20-year-old star - who is currently on the UK leg of her world tour - had an interview with The Sunday Times about her desire to one day become a mom, however, at the same time, she also dreads the thought.

"[I would] rather die [than not have kids]. I need them," she told the paper.
She continued: "The older I get, the more I experience things, I just think, uuuugh, what am I going to do when my kid thinks that this is the right thing to do and I’m, like, no, it’s not! And they won’t listen to me."

Eilish says that the kids always find their mom 'annoying' and that while growing she felt the same about her mom Maggie.
But she felt a lot of affection for her mom: "She is like a book, she knows everything, and I’m so grateful because I don’t know s*** about s***."

In another part of the interview, Eilish shared that she has this fear of having kids in America due to the threat of school shootings. She referred to last month's devastating attack on an Elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, which left 19 students and two teachers dead.

"Why is it OK to be scared to go to school?" she said, adding: "You go to school and be prepared for a life-changing traumatic experience or dying. What? Who? Where is the logic there?"
Even though Eilish wants kids, back in 2020, the singer shared that she can no longer visualize herself in a relationship with anyone.

Talking to GQ at the time, she said: "It is so weird, but I don’t see it for myself. I know I will find someone eventually, but at the moment I can’t visualise it. I feel like I am a totally different person when I am with someone else. People just don’t do it for me."
The singer also opened up about having experienced heartbreak, saying: "All I ever wanted was a boyfriend. [...] And I couldn’t be further away from that. I’ve had my heart broken, sure.

"People have done some terrible s**t to me. The crazy s**t I have gone through. I have never felt powerful in a relationship. I did once and, guess what, I took advantage of that person’s kindness. I wasn’t used to it.
"It’s been months and I am not attracted to people anymore. I don’t know what’s going on... It’s actually kind of dope."
