Seth is right. A lot of people seem to have kids as like a crazy science experiment -- like something they can do to preoccupy their time with. They are also always complaining about them. They literally complain about the things they have to do because they chose to be parents. Make it make sense.
I’m sorry but if a parent just complains about having a kid or more then one shouldn’t be parents … I have three kids and honestly can’t complain at all haha they’re amazing cool little humans ❤
So true. I feel like that's a pattern of behavior. There's people that openly complain about their spouses. Then why get married? I'm happily married and expecting my 1st kid. We planned pur pregnancy and though life is far from perfect, excited to bring a little one into the world that's a mix of hopefully both of us.
@roddangerson2046 yea because once you have one and you raise them, you won't think that, but alot of people miss out on so much of life because they have kids and some secretly regret having them too early if anything
@@muaykaliente4386 No one ever minds their own business. They always gotta add their two cents to everyone else's life because they are miserable in their own.
I agree with you. I wouldn't say it but I find it very ironic that I do now, because all my life I didn't like it and it disgusted me, it wasn't until I was like 18-20 I changed my mind.
I love when you hear someone talk about not wanting kids. It's so engrained in society that we should or you get asked the question as if something is wrong with you if you don't.
@@crystinamarie1 because it is 100% our only function and drive lol, there literally IS something wrong with anyone who never wants kids, we would go extinct in exactly 1 generation if everyone thought like that 😂
I was on the child-free path for a very long time before deciding to have one child. It's something I took very seriously and I knew it wasn't what people pretend it is on social media. It still ended up being something we wanted and the cliche was true for us. It has been our most challenging and fulfilling endeavor but I'm forever protective of my child-free friends. Some by choice and some sadly not. And what Seth says is right. It's not that fun. It's not supposed to be and anyone acting like it's bliss is lying. It's high highs and low lows all day long. What do I care if someone I don't even know has kids or not?
I like Seth talking about this publicly. It's true that having children is not everybody's dream. I have nieces and I think I'm a good aunt, but I doubt I will be a good parent.
I actually think it's great that we're coming to a point where kids feel more optional in many cultures. There are a lot of people out there who shouldn't be parents, and a lot of kids who aren't given the love they need because their parents are indifferent or even hostile towards them. To me it's far less selfish for someone who knows parenthood isn't for them to opt out than it is to have kids they resent.
Agree. Also many people cants responsibly afford to have kids for financial or health reasons. More people should take a serious audit before jumping into an irreversible decision.
meanwhile the thing everyone says is "it will work out - you will find a way" ignoring all the children all over the world who go hungry all the time. @@Gxport
Getting married next year and we both don’t want kids. Talked about possibly fostering in our 40s. But the rest of our 30s at least are just for us! ♥️
agreed! it’s very selfless to decide to be child free. if that’s your path, and you recognize it. i don’t want children. i don’t want to carry the burden of ruining a person’s childhood and causing any trauma. the only way i know to avoid those negative experiences is to not have children of my own. plus, this way i can remain the cool aunt forever.
@Hollywould nah I used to think like that to, you can tell he wants kids but is too childish to have one and also he is anti family. I promise you a life without children and a family is pretty empty
@@roddangerson2046 you are not seth nor is seth you...believe it or not everyone in the world does not share your mindset and it is very condescending to say he is immature and anti family you don't know him because he doesn't want kids you speak as if you know him personally...not trying to attack you just saying everyone does not want or need to have kids to be fulfilled in life...judgemental mindsets like you are part of what's wrong with today's society
I'm not the hugest Rogen fan, but I'm 100% with him on this. I've taken it a step further, I'm never getting married either. I'm super selfish and that me time is all for me, all the time. I've got a Sister who has two kids, and they're alright...for like a couple hours, then I'm like "Okay, I'm done. See ya!" It must suck not being able to do what you want when you want, especially after going to work all day, then you come home and it's like "I gotta watch my kids?" No thanks.
Oh man same here with the sister. I love the kiddos to death, play with them for a couple hours and I'm all set! Then I gratefully retreat to my quiet, clean apartment and binge watch TV all weekend.
I have an uncle like that too, bless him 😂. Introverted as hell, but were always here for us when we needed him. I don't want kids neither, and he is very supportive about it. He actually thinks is crazy I have a dog even. Since little fur ball is expensive as hell 😅
I'm only 20 but I feel this way about my 13 and 8 year old brothers. Sometimes when they're with me I just think "damn I could use some silence right now" I babysat them a lot and there were nice moments, but the bad overpowered the good.
At least your and the rest of this chain is at peace, at least the 3rd guy has a nephew so all his stuff won't be reclaimed by the govt and state and they wouldn't be forgotten and inheritance is bestowed
I don't know why people try so hard to force others to want/have kids. Some of us just don't want them! Better than having kids for the sake of having them and then not being there for them...
Glad for both of yall, but I hope yall have nieces or nephews or young siblings or cousins so they can inherit your stuff and legacy so the state won't financially burn it. Just hoping yall have heirs for yall legacy
The voice of reason! As a woman I have had to justify to DOCTORS why I don't want kids. I had my tubes tied at 22 and was told I would regret it. I'm almost 38 and nope still very happy with my decision. So many people seem to do it just because 'that's what you do' never mind the fact that the world is beyond overpopulated.
I literally got called a sociopath the other day because I comment on a fb post that was shaming kidfree people and said "I will never have kids cos I could never feel love for a child". It doesn't make me a sociopath. It makes me responsible, because I'm not putting a child through that. I'm never going to go out of my way to mistreat a child, bit I don't want them or to be around them. Their constant talking and crying and general noise makes me feel dysregulated
I respect and support your decision of remains childfree but this is a toughie too for me, now I wouldn' condone those aholes who can't understand your context of why. But just out of disturbed confusion, isn't that chronologically hypocritical since you were one yourself? I'm not trying ro demeen or insult both you and your character because free will should be cherished. It's honorable you are considerate to not make the child feel devoid and trust me the research I did on homo sapiens well your result would not end well on that hypothetical descendant of yours hands.so indeed you made the right call for you and the kid that will never be born for wise reasona.
Totally agree with you, I am also not a sociopath, but I do hate children, I don't see the point to them, or our species. I believe 'infants' are adorable or 'sound' cute due to our genetics...but there is nothing really special about them, or human either...they definitely don't wake any compassion from me in any form or fashion as well. I felt a peculiar 'pull' (which might have been due to mere 'instinct') for the 'creation' of a male counter-part at the precise age-range between 34-37, which I believe may just have simply been my own 'the-clock-is-ticking', or what is referred to as 'baby-fever' of the mid-to-late 30s (some men have been known to get this from time to time-specially if they are to become fathers for the first time). Now that I am 41, and about to be 42 in about a few more months...I am VERY selfish with my 'me-time'...and the 'baby-fever' of the mid-to-late 30s is nowhere to be felt again, interesting how nature believes we are all that 'common'!
I love Kelly but I'm annoyed that she drilled him so much about this. I don't understand why it's still socially acceptable to question someone's choice on such a huge matter. Maybe I'm bitter because I've battled this question over and over and over. I'm now at a point in my life (45) where "oh you'll change your mind someday..." isn't an option for people lol I MADE IT, I GREW UP, AND I'M DAMN HAPPY WITH MY CHOICE 😅 You keep posting pics of your kids' soccer games and I'll keep posting my mimosas on the beach.
I love kids. I will babysit my nieces and nephews but I don’t know if I want my own kids. I understand what a big responsibility that is. I don’t like the pressure that is put on others especially at a certain age or based on gender. It is a decision that you have to make on your own or with your significant other if in a relationship. Not having kids doesn’t mean you hate them. Parents judge non parents sometimes and that’s really not fair.
So true, I want kids and I am fine for those who don't want them but I hope they find heirs or have younger relatives or siblings so they can inherit their legacies so the state won't financially burn yours or others who chooses to remain childless
As someone who can't have bio babies, and am relieved to not be a parent now that I'm middle aged, I'd really like everyone to never feel pressured or othered in the way so many of us have experienced.
WHY DONT PEOPLE JUST ADOPT?! Plenty of homeless kids out there, stop being selfish please. We dont always need mini mes. And stop pressuring others to have them gosh.
THANK YOU, I plan to have 2 kids biologically through AW machine and 2 to adopt after and besides I respect and support those who chooses not to have any. I just hope they have nieces/nephews or young cousins so they can inherit their assets and properties so the state won't steal it back into the system
One of the reasons why I am childfree, besides free time and other things, is that I do not want my beloved woman to go through the suffering of pregnancy and childbirth. I love her, how can I rejoice that she will suffer? This sounds strange to me. Just my personal opinion =)
Glad you both are happy and at peace, I plan to have kids but I respect and accept humans who choose that ideal cuz not all humans are equip for the duty. I hope you both have nieces and nephews to inherit yall stuff so the state won't fleece your properties after yall move on to afterlife. Plus that is very considerate of you for her pain, I plan to use artificial womb
I respect and support your decision and I understand I plan to use AW machines for 2 biological and then adopt 2, I don't want my properties, assets, and legacy being taken back and spat on by the state where is goes back into the system and tarnishing it. I jus wish more humans would understand and let childless people be at peace and not shunned despite them being a bit bitter or openly so about being stuck with kids they secretly or truly didn't want to begin with
I love kids! I love watching my niece(3) and nephew(8). I love being an uncle to them and watching them grow up. BUT I personally do not want kids. I used to want them but that has changed.
I am glad you both are at peace and accepted your decisions. Plus at least you have heirs so your legacy and stuff won't burn by the state financially when yall last breath is at peace
I'm with you. I'm an uncle to a nephew and 2 nieces. I love them to death. I thought I wanted kids, but I realized I'm okay with not having kids, and I'm almost 40.
The societal template of being a married adult and therefore having kids for a fulfilling life is one of the greatest falsehoods. Many find joy of course but Seth is right - so many parents miss their freedoms, autonomy and life on their terms. Middle age is the key time when their mortality and the ‘you get one life’ dawns on them.
Indeed and I respect and accept his choice and his respect on people who choose to be parents. I just hope he and his wife has heirs to inherit their wealth and stuff so the state won't reposses it for their bs greed
I love just uncompromising he is in front of a flaky, un-controvencial audience about one of the most deeply personal decisions any human being can make. I almost respect it even more when wealthy people like Seth don't want kids because clearly he can afford it, but still.... Nope.
Indeed, I want kids but I respect and accept humans who choose not to pass down their bloodline and legacy. Besides not all humans are equipped for the duty, I just hope seth and his wife has heirs to inherit their stuff and wealth so the state doesn't reap and take it all for their bs reasons
Here to laugh at all the people mad at him saying he don't want kids. He's on a chat show and was ASKED the question. He answered it. Look at all the bitter Karens and Kens who mad cause they have kids that they didn't want and are stuck with them for life. Your kids despise you, deal with it. Should've made better decisions then. 🤣🤣
Indeed, I want kids but having a bad parent with her actions alongside with their expressions is resentment of being stuck with their burden they didn't truly want to begin with. So yup bitterness is right, I would say the big perk is you have a heir so your possessions, property, assets an legacy won't be reaped back by the state where they would put bac into the system
It’s refreshing to see a guy get the question of why don’t you want kids. It’s always women who have to deal with answering that bullshit. The default in society should be why do u WANT kids? It’s should be 1 option of many in life but we act like it is our factory setting to pop kids out.
Now some need realize that so many people feel the same way, but the kids they have now are the ones suffering. Ironically by him and his wife being selfish is what really makes them more considerate to human life than some who do have kids
I truly believe that people who have progressed beyond what is 'culturally' accepted are those who don't want kids or those who don't want marriage. These people are the early adopters of what life will be like 20-30y from now.
Some people have kids and then form their entire identity around them. Becomes so controlling and it’s just toxic AF. Other people just DGAF about their kids at all. My dad is on wife #5 and has 6 kids with 4 different women. I am an only child between my parents but have 6 half siblings. Only one of whom I grew up and lived with, it was wildly dysfunctional.
Thank you Seth!! I am childless by choice and I love it!! I have a niece and I also did daycare for over 20 years. My brother thought having a kid would make life better but he is still miserable. His fomo or feeling like he needed a purpose just caused more stress. Now there’s a child in the mix. I love my niece. I watch her and play with her. My mother and I go out of our way to give her tons of attention and love. I feel bad for her because she doesn’t get the attention she should at 2 from her parents. She was not even a month old and her mom wanted weekends away from her. But I have no regrets on no kids. I don’t feel fomo. I am happier without them. And when I’m old I’ll still be good!!! 😊. I have my me time whenever and I don’t have to worry about kids. It’s so freeing especially as a woman. It’s selfish to have kids and then use them as accessories like my horrible brother and his wife.
I like my nephew. He's 10 and I took care of him for a month. Thanks to him I realized not having kids is the best option I will make. Thanks to him I've realized many things and evaded having a child then later ragret it.
I respect and support your decision plus hey you have a nephew who will inherit you properties, assets, and legacies also leave him a surprise life insurance too so the State won't reclaim what your earned and place it back into the system
Indeed and I respect and support both of your decisions and I choose to both have kids and adopt. I just hope yall and seth and his wife have heirs so their properties and assets won't be stole by state to reap back into the system to tarnish their and yall legacy. Besides I am glad yall and seth stood his ground not only respectfully but damn hilarious when doing so
My hero!!!!!! I love this. I don't have any and I see my family and my partner the issues they have with their kids. I just say I am glad I don't have any still
Remember that long-ass paper you did in like junior or senior year of high school or in your third or fourth year in college that you thought you would never be able to finish yeah a kid is about a million times harder than that
I respect and support your decision, my chef master is the same way. Also hey you have a heir so your property, assets, and legacy won't be taken back by the state where it goes back in he system plus you can give your niece and nephew a surprise alongside life insurance
When Kelly was robotically waxing about the beauty of having children, Seth's look of "LIAR" and the shaking of his head, spoke EVERYTHING. You will not spread your misery over here, lady.
I think what ppl are turned off about isn't the fact that he doesn't wants kids. It's probably the fact that he makes it sound like everyone who has kids are miserable, and that's not true. Coming from a childfree woman. 🤷♀
True, everyone who has kids is not miserable but I see where he is coming from. It sounds that way because you run into so many parents say that they are exhausted and tired all the time than parents who seem to be energetic and vibrant with their kids.
My wife and I never have wanted to have them, I got a vasectomy, but everyone asks, why don't we want to have kids??? and I ask them... why do you want to? they get genuinely offended... I just want a straight answer, I have plenty of them. There are economic and time constrains that make me don't want to have them... then they ask me what if you regret not having kids? Well, there are a lot of homeless kids out there brought to this world by parents that never asked them selves... can I have them??? before asking, or not even "Do I want them?"
Check mate you got them good, I plan to adopt 2 after using the AW machine to have kids sine I want to teach them how to be good and evolved humans with morality plus I need heirs for my properties, assets, etc. I don't want the state reclaim them to steal it back into the system. My reaso. Legacy and morality, yours is actually pragmatic, considerate on not only you and your wife but also on the kid's behalf, also that question must have made them hesitant to answer.
@@timothyloayza6789 Exactly! if I wanted to have any, I'd like to feel at least I am morally, economically and emotionally ready and prepared to have them, I would consider adoption then, but not before that.
@@albertosotelo9969 so true most human adults don't have the quadrilogy at helm especially when they bort kids out of wedlock- in most cases it (the baby) was unwanted- I was an unwanted kid yet stepdad adopted me and reunited me with my long lost father (she stole me away after divorce as baby- with proof) also when they birth via no wedlock and agreence on the child's behalf it causes this and Seth can sense it. These parents seem to b jealous at seth and his wife's freedom and childfree life I feel and think sad that he doesn't have an heir yet he does not from him but he and his wife are cool uncle and aunt and will pass down their legacy to them too. Hey that's why I like seth rogen funny and both brutally yet respectfully honest on his life and decisions. These parents and hostess has contempt due to them going against society's "norm" and not being one of them despite they have the money for kids. In short each of these parents on this show seemed to lack one or many or hell all 4 of the quadrilogy for not only a mother and father but for their own children more tha likely. You and your wife seem to have nearly all 4 or 3 already plus these adults should respect and support people's free will! My Chef Master who is Michelin trained is childfree due to her career and wha she's thriving and is one cool and awesome aunt to her nephew, who's a prodigy chef kid. I can see not just only through Seth's and his wife, you and yours and my master but personally at the moment I can see how beneficial constructively why being childfree right now is effective and pragmatic and considerate not just for me but many. I bet you both are a awesome uncle and aunt couple
I dislike growing up and one of the reasons is that everyone starts having children. And everyone starts thinking about it constantly, and especially TALKING about it constantly. I could not care less about how many times your kid takes a shit or eats, about the fact thay you do not sleep at all, and many more things. I can listen to you for a while, and give you support, but after a certain age (and mind you, im "only" almost 27 yo) they always think and talk about that and I find it super annoying. I cannot even remotely fathom the idea of coming back from work (which is already so much time taken away from all the things I would love to learn and study in life) at 6 PM and having to take care of a human. I already work, study on the side, take care of myself and my shared flat, take care and cherish my friends and my family (even if I live abroad so family is far), plan many more things for my future. I have lived in 5 countries and 3 continents, I speak 4 languages, I met people from all around the world and I plan to keep moving around, living in different places as that is FOR ME the only reason I live, and the only source of happiness. I am curious, I wanna learn other people's language, I wanna learn about how they communicate, I wanna learn about their culture, I wanna keep making new friends and meeting all sorts of people. People who really think you can do this with children are delusional. You absolutely cannot, if you did you'd be a shitty parent. The same way those parents (not all of them, thank god) judge us for not wanting children, the same way they insinuate we will "regret" it later, I could tell them thay they will regret living the same life every day, all over again, same routine, same place, same people, same habits. But i wont tell them, cause that's probably what makes them happy (hopefully for them hahah). And what makes them happy is not more important or valid than what makes ME happy.
People can be overly defensive on both sides. It's absolutely nobody's business if someone has kids or not. I describe having a child as the highest highs and the lowest lows. It's cliche but true that many people won't know how they feel unless they experience it. Seth seems so adamant and it's refreshing that he recognizes this before making a decision he could regret. Chelsea Handler is an example of a bitter type that goes too far trying to make her life seem superior. It's not a contest. Do whatever you want.
I’ve been saying I won’t have kids since I was in my 20s and everyone keep pressuring me.. been with my partner for 20 years he feels the same way. I’m almost 40 I can’t wait for people to back off, there’s enough people on this planet we don’t need more if I want one I’d rather adopt a kid who needs help!
I think it’s great to get that kind of public validation from somebody who has kids, so good job Kelly Clarkson! It is OK not to have kids! Even though I do want kids, there was a good time I was, considering not having them, and that would have been OK if I had stayed in that lane. It’s a stressful life being a parent, if you would rather use that energy doing other things than that is OK. This is not the beginning of planet earth where the Bible said you need to spread your seed and multiply or whatever, we have like 1 billion people in the world, nobody should pressure anybody. because when you make that decision, and you regret it, there’s no going back and waving him magic wand to get rid of your kids. You need to be sure that that life is some thing that you love in spite of its hard shifts, just like the career you choose. Not here come the people who are going to throw a fit then I compared You need to be sure that that life is some thing that you love in spite of it’s hard shifts, just like the career you choose. Now here comes the people who are going to throw a fit that I compared to having kids to having a career…, but you know what, it’s a similar situation, because when you choose you have to stick with it, and you have to do it every day for decades of your life. So yeah. You have to be sure that this is something that is not just draining you for the sake of draining you, and that it’s actually worth it because it’s something you’re passionate about.
Indeed, if you don't want them I respect and accept your decision besides not all human adults were built for the sacred duty. I want them but i saving up with scientific methods. I guess the big reason from a legacy standpoint- 1.someone to inherit your legacy, assets, and properties so the State won't reap and take away what you earned or made for yourself back into the system
My mum told me that when I was young I always said that I didn't want children. 46yrs old now have all my hair been with my wife 18yrs never wished or missed the burden of parenthood.
People choosing to be 'Child free' benefits everyone. Also how would 'child free' people "miss out" if they change their minds? Child free people can also choose to adopt later on you know.
Im 30 years old and My 4 year old son makes my life miserable. I do not enjoy taking him to school and picking him up. I just wish I had my regular life back! 😢😢😢😢😢
I'm happy being childless. I dislike kids lol, love my peace, quiet, gym time, readibg time and career. The dream, all I need now is a puppy and a kitten to complete it❤
Sure, some people think we need to keep having kids to avoid extinction, but honestly, not everyone is cut out for that. It’s a lot of pressure for something that’s not for everyone
I"m so glad I have kids and while it can have it's challenges, like all of life, it's overhwelmingly a wonderful experience. I would have been fine without them, and nothing wrong with not wanting them, but I'm sure glad I have them!
Seth is right. A lot of people seem to have kids as like a crazy science experiment -- like something they can do to preoccupy their time with. They are also always complaining about them. They literally complain about the things they have to do because they chose to be parents. Make it make sense.

There are enough people like you and Rogan, his decision is the correct one.
There a minority of people who truly enjoy having children. It's true.
At least Seth is honest 😂.
Aries🙃
He's right too 🤣
I like Seth talking about this publicly. It's true that having children is not everybody's dream. I have nieces and I think I'm a good aunt, but I doubt I will be a good parent.
I actually think it's great that we're coming to a point where kids feel more optional in many cultures. There are a lot of people out there who shouldn't be parents, and a lot of kids who aren't given the love they need because their parents are indifferent or even hostile towards them. To me it's far less selfish for someone who knows parenthood isn't for them to opt out than it is to have kids they resent.
Agree. Also many people cants responsibly afford to have kids for financial or health reasons. More people should take a serious audit before jumping into an irreversible decision.

@Hollywould nah I used to think like that to, you can tell he wants kids but is too childish to have one and also he is anti family. I promise you a life without children and a family is pretty empty
@@roddangerson2046 you are not seth nor is seth you...believe it or not everyone in the world does not share your mindset and it is very condescending to say he is immature and anti family you don't know him because he doesn't want kids you speak as if you know him personally...not trying to attack you just saying everyone does not want or need to have kids to be fulfilled in life...judgemental mindsets like you are part of what's wrong with today's society
I'm not the hugest Rogen fan, but I'm 100% with him on this. I've taken it a step further, I'm never getting married either. I'm super selfish and that me time is all for me, all the time. I've got a Sister who has two kids, and they're alright...for like a couple hours, then I'm like "Okay, I'm done. See ya!" It must suck not being able to do what you want when you want, especially after going to work all day, then you come home and it's like "I gotta watch my kids?" No thanks.
Oh man same here with the sister. I love the kiddos to death, play with them for a couple hours and I'm all set! Then I gratefully retreat to my quiet, clean apartment and binge watch TV all weekend.
Marriage is a worthless outdated Custom
Holly shit we like tween and very selfish with my time too no kid nahh thanks
I have an uncle like that too, bless him 😂. Introverted as hell, but were always here for us when we needed him. I don't want kids neither, and he is very supportive about it. He actually thinks is crazy I have a dog even. Since little fur ball is expensive as hell 😅
I'm only 20 but I feel this way about my 13 and 8 year old brothers. Sometimes when they're with me I just think "damn I could use some silence right now" I babysat them a lot and there were nice moments, but the bad overpowered the good.
Everything Seth said is all me 😂
I am 43 and have no kids and I’m still happy about , I have less responsibilities and it makes my life easier , it’s just me and my girlfriend
That’s literally my dream.
@@feevrdreams Me too
Same here almost 40 and couldn’t be happier unlike my little brother with a kid.
At least your and the rest of this chain is at peace, at least the 3rd guy has a nephew so all his stuff won't be reclaimed by the govt and state and they wouldn't be forgotten and inheritance is bestowed
And plus kids make you poor miserable And it's not about you or your freedom anymore keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I don't know why people try so hard to force others to want/have kids. Some of us just don't want them! Better than having kids for the sake of having them and then not being there for them...
Because they were lied to, and they want to pass the misery and lies along.
I love kids and would be a great parent and I'm thrilled every single day I don't have any.
Same here!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Glad for both of yall, but I hope yall have nieces or nephews or young siblings or cousins so they can inherit your stuff and legacy so the state won't financially burn it. Just hoping yall have heirs for yall legacy
The voice of reason! As a woman I have had to justify to DOCTORS why I don't want kids. I had my tubes tied at 22 and was told I would regret it. I'm almost 38 and nope still very happy with my decision. So many people seem to do it just because 'that's what you do' never mind the fact that the world is beyond overpopulated.
The fact that you knew, at 22, that’s what you wanted is insane & impressive to me.
@@LinusLogic Just shows some people REALLY know what they want lol.
@@LinusLogic When I was in 6th grade i knew i didn’t want to get married & having kids too.
@@billcipher3946 How did you know? Was it a moment of seeing somebody else's situation and learning from it, knowing that it wouldn't fit you?
@@LinusLogic I saw how my friends situations with there parents getting divorced, and i was like yeah fuck that I’m not doing that. 😂
I literally got called a sociopath the other day because I comment on a fb post that was shaming kidfree people and said "I will never have kids cos I could never feel love for a child". It doesn't make me a sociopath. It makes me responsible, because I'm not putting a child through that. I'm never going to go out of my way to mistreat a child, bit I don't want them or to be around them. Their constant talking and crying and general noise makes me feel dysregulated
I respect and support your decision of remains childfree but this is a toughie too for me, now I wouldn' condone those aholes who can't understand your context of why. But just out of disturbed confusion, isn't that chronologically hypocritical since you were one yourself? I'm not trying ro demeen or insult both you and your character because free will should be cherished. It's honorable you are considerate to not make the child feel devoid and trust me the research I did on homo sapiens well your result would not end well on that hypothetical descendant of yours hands.so indeed you made the right call for you and the kid that will never be born for wise reasona.
@@timothyloayza6789 right he said the exact same thing his dad said when he ran off to get the milk
Totally agree with you, I am also not a sociopath, but I do hate children, I don't see the point to them, or our species. I believe 'infants' are adorable or 'sound' cute due to our genetics...but there is nothing really special about them, or human either...they definitely don't wake any compassion from me in any form or fashion as well. I felt a peculiar 'pull' (which might have been due to mere 'instinct') for the 'creation' of a male counter-part at the precise age-range between 34-37, which I believe may just have simply been my own 'the-clock-is-ticking', or what is referred to as 'baby-fever' of the mid-to-late 30s (some men have been known to get this from time to time-specially if they are to become fathers for the first time). Now that I am 41, and about to be 42 in about a few more months...I am VERY selfish with my 'me-time'...and the 'baby-fever' of the mid-to-late 30s is nowhere to be felt again, interesting how nature believes we are all that 'common'!
I love Kelly but I'm annoyed that she drilled him so much about this. I don't understand why it's still socially acceptable to question someone's choice on such a huge matter. Maybe I'm bitter because I've battled this question over and over and over. I'm now at a point in my life (45) where "oh you'll change your mind someday..." isn't an option for people lol I MADE IT, I GREW UP, AND I'M DAMN HAPPY WITH MY CHOICE 😅 You keep posting pics of your kids' soccer games and I'll keep posting my mimosas on the beach.
Queen 👑
Haha yes I want mimosas and vacations not kids😂😂
Yesssssssssss!!! :)
As man myself, you do you and don’t listen to society ❤
No, kids will create a hole in your heart, and the mimosas will create a hole in your liver
I love kids. I will babysit my nieces and nephews but I don’t know if I want my own kids. I understand what a big responsibility that is. I don’t like the pressure that is put on others especially at a certain age or based on gender. It is a decision that you have to make on your own or with your significant other if in a relationship. Not having kids doesn’t mean you hate them. Parents judge non parents sometimes and that’s really not fair.
So true, I want kids and I am fine for those who don't want them but I hope they find heirs or have younger relatives or siblings so they can inherit their legacies so the state won't financially burn yours or others who chooses to remain childless
As someone who can't have bio babies, and am relieved to not be a parent now that I'm middle aged, I'd really like everyone to never feel pressured or othered in the way so many of us have experienced.
Yup. And there’s so many ways to experience parenthood. Raising pets. Starting a project. Creating something that needs nurturing and time and care.
@@princessm6355 💜
WHY DONT PEOPLE JUST ADOPT?! Plenty of homeless kids out there, stop being selfish please. We dont always need mini mes. And stop pressuring others to have them gosh.
this
THANK YOU, I plan to have 2 kids biologically through AW machine and 2 to adopt after and besides I respect and support those who chooses not to have any. I just hope they have nieces/nephews or young cousins so they can inherit their assets and properties so the state won't steal it back into the system
Watching Kelly give this interview really made me a fan of hers and now I watch her show every day. She's open minded to everyone and I love that!
Kelly said this was her favourite interview ever and I love that.
I think its all about the money, so if someone as wealthy as Rogen still doesnt want them, you can tell its 100% genuine
Seth😍! Seth is right. Parenthood is not for everyone.
One of the reasons why I am childfree, besides free time and other things, is that I do not want my beloved woman to go through the suffering of pregnancy and childbirth. I love her, how can I rejoice that she will suffer? This sounds strange to me. Just my personal opinion =)
Glad you both are happy and at peace, I plan to have kids but I respect and accept humans who choose that ideal cuz not all humans are equip for the duty. I hope you both have nieces and nephews to inherit yall stuff so the state won't fleece your properties after yall move on to afterlife. Plus that is very considerate of you for her pain, I plan to use artificial womb
I've never been married and don't want a kid nor want any kids. The idea repulses me. I'm offended at the very idea.
😂 I feel you
I’m 24 and don’t want kids. I don’t have a desire to have kids. Ever since I was a kid, I never wanted children. The world is too overpopulated
I respect and support your decision and I understand I plan to use AW machines for 2 biological and then adopt 2, I don't want my properties, assets, and legacy being taken back and spat on by the state where is goes back into the system and tarnishing it. I jus wish more humans would understand and let childless people be at peace and not shunned despite them being a bit bitter or openly so about being stuck with kids they secretly or truly didn't want to begin with
I love kids! I love watching my niece(3) and nephew(8). I love being an uncle to them and watching them grow up. BUT I personally do not want kids. I used to want them but that has changed.
Same here. I’m 24 and I don’t want kids ever. I don’t even want to adopt a kid
I am glad you both are at peace and accepted your decisions. Plus at least you have heirs so your legacy and stuff won't burn by the state financially when yall last breath is at peace
I'm with you. I'm an uncle to a nephew and 2 nieces. I love them to death. I thought I wanted kids, but I realized I'm okay with not having kids, and I'm almost 40.
The societal template of being a married adult and therefore having kids for a fulfilling life is one of the greatest falsehoods.
Many find joy of course but
Seth is right - so many parents miss their freedoms, autonomy and life on their terms. Middle age is the key time when their mortality and the ‘you get one life’ dawns on them.
Indeed and I respect and accept his choice and his respect on people who choose to be parents. I just hope he and his wife has heirs to inherit their wealth and stuff so the state won't reposses it for their bs greed
I love just uncompromising he is in front of a flaky, un-controvencial audience about one of the most deeply personal decisions any human being can make.
I almost respect it even more when wealthy people like Seth don't want kids because clearly he can afford it, but still.... Nope.
Indeed, I want kids but I respect and accept humans who choose not to pass down their bloodline and legacy. Besides not all humans are equipped for the duty, I just hope seth and his wife has heirs to inherit their stuff and wealth so the state doesn't reap and take it all for their bs reasons
Here to laugh at all the people mad at him saying he don't want kids. He's on a chat show and was ASKED the question. He answered it. Look at all the bitter Karens and Kens who mad cause they have kids that they didn't want and are stuck with them for life. Your kids despise you, deal with it. Should've made better decisions then. 🤣🤣
Indeed, I want kids but having a bad parent with her actions alongside with their expressions is resentment of being stuck with their burden they didn't truly want to begin with. So yup bitterness is right, I would say the big perk is you have a heir so your possessions, property, assets an legacy won't be reaped back by the state where they would put bac into the system
Thank you, Seth, for voicing your opinion so it can help normalize the chilfree/antinatalist lifestyle. 🤗
Seth, you dropped this. 👑
It’s refreshing to see a guy get the question of why don’t you want kids. It’s always women who have to deal with answering that bullshit. The default in society should be why do u WANT kids? It’s should be 1 option of many in life but we act like it is our factory setting to pop kids out.
Now some need realize that so many people feel the same way, but the kids they have now are the ones suffering. Ironically by him and his wife being selfish is what really makes them more considerate to human life than some who do have kids
I truly believe that people who have progressed beyond what is 'culturally' accepted are those who don't want kids or those who don't want marriage. These people are the early adopters of what life will be like 20-30y from now.
Some people have kids and then form their entire identity around them. Becomes so controlling and it’s just toxic AF. Other people just DGAF about their kids at all. My dad is on wife #5 and has 6 kids with 4 different women. I am an only child between my parents but have 6 half siblings. Only one of whom I grew up and lived with, it was wildly dysfunctional.
I totally agree with him!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Seth!! I am childless by choice and I love it!! I have a niece and I also did daycare for over 20 years. My brother thought having a kid would make life better but he is still miserable. His fomo or feeling like he needed a purpose just caused more stress. Now there’s a child in the mix. I love my niece. I watch her and play with her. My mother and I go out of our way to give her tons of attention and love. I feel bad for her because she doesn’t get the attention she should at 2 from her parents. She was not even a month old and her mom wanted weekends away from her. But I have no regrets on no kids. I don’t feel fomo. I am happier without them. And when I’m old I’ll still be good!!! 😊. I have my me time whenever and I don’t have to worry about kids. It’s so freeing especially as a woman. It’s selfish to have kids and then use them as accessories like my horrible brother and his wife.
I’m glad people can live as they choose ❤. It’s just sad if you want and can’t have. Other than that happiness is different for everyone
I like my nephew. He's 10 and I took care of him for a month. Thanks to him I realized not having kids is the best option I will make. Thanks to him I've realized many things and evaded having a child then later ragret it.
I respect and support your decision plus hey you have a nephew who will inherit you properties, assets, and legacies also leave him a surprise life insurance too so the State won't reclaim what your earned and place it back into the system
You were thinking, James!👌🕺
He ain’t wrong. 🤘🏻
He’s so handsome ❤
I love Seth Rogan! And he’s very intelligent. You can tell he put a lot of thought into this! He’s right. What is so joyful about parenthood?
I for one have no interest in being a maid to children... they are cute and all.. but no thanks.
Indeed and I respect and support both of your decisions and I choose to both have kids and adopt. I just hope yall and seth and his wife have heirs so their properties and assets won't be stole by state to reap back into the system to tarnish their and yall legacy. Besides I am glad yall and seth stood his ground not only respectfully but damn hilarious when doing so
Something you will never understand
My hero!!!!!! I love this. I don't have any and I see my family and my partner the issues they have with their kids. I just say I am glad I don't have any still
Remember that long-ass paper you did in like junior or senior year of high school or in your third or fourth year in college that you thought you would never be able to finish yeah a kid is about a million times harder than that
Never wanted kids and people kept on you'd be a fear mom blah blah. No, I'm a great aunt and totally fulfilled
I respect and support your decision, my chef master is the same way. Also hey you have a heir so your property, assets, and legacy won't be taken back by the state where it goes back in he system plus you can give your niece and nephew a surprise alongside life insurance
Agreed! 😂
"I love my friends' kids probably more than they do sometimes" - hahaha, seems so accurate
his laugh 😂
Least your being honest and open and that you don’t just have them for the sake of it Hugh hugh😂
Same, Seth. Same.
When Kelly was robotically waxing about the beauty of having children, Seth's look of "LIAR" and the shaking of his head, spoke EVERYTHING. You will not spread your misery over here, lady.
😂 robotically waxing 😂
I think what ppl are turned off about isn't the fact that he doesn't wants kids. It's probably the fact that he makes it sound like everyone who has kids are miserable, and that's not true. Coming from a childfree woman. 🤷♀
True, everyone who has kids is not miserable but I see where he is coming from. It sounds that way because you run into so many parents say that they are exhausted and tired all the time than parents who seem to be energetic and vibrant with their kids.
My wife and I never have wanted to have them, I got a vasectomy, but everyone asks, why don't we want to have kids??? and I ask them... why do you want to? they get genuinely offended... I just want a straight answer, I have plenty of them. There are economic and time constrains that make me don't want to have them... then they ask me what if you regret not having kids? Well, there are a lot of homeless kids out there brought to this world by parents that never asked them selves... can I have them??? before asking, or not even "Do I want them?"
Check mate you got them good, I plan to adopt 2 after using the AW machine to have kids sine I want to teach them how to be good and evolved humans with morality plus I need heirs for my properties, assets, etc. I don't want the state reclaim them to steal it back into the system. My reaso. Legacy and morality, yours is actually pragmatic, considerate on not only you and your wife but also on the kid's behalf, also that question must have made them hesitant to answer.
@@timothyloayza6789 Exactly! if I wanted to have any, I'd like to feel at least I am morally, economically and emotionally ready and prepared to have them, I would consider adoption then, but not before that.
@@albertosotelo9969 so true most human adults don't have the quadrilogy at helm especially when they bort kids out of wedlock- in most cases it (the baby) was unwanted- I was an unwanted kid yet stepdad adopted me and reunited me with my long lost father (she stole me away after divorce as baby- with proof) also when they birth via no wedlock and agreence on the child's behalf it causes this and Seth can sense it. These parents seem to b jealous at seth and his wife's freedom and childfree life I feel and think sad that he doesn't have an heir yet he does not from him but he and his wife are cool uncle and aunt and will pass down their legacy to them too. Hey that's why I like seth rogen funny and both brutally yet respectfully honest on his life and decisions. These parents and hostess has contempt due to them going against society's "norm" and not being one of them despite they have the money for kids. In short each of these parents on this show seemed to lack one or many or hell all 4 of the quadrilogy for not only a mother and father but for their own children more tha likely. You and your wife seem to have nearly all 4 or 3 already plus these adults should respect and support people's free will! My Chef Master who is Michelin trained is childfree due to her career and wha she's thriving and is one cool and awesome aunt to her nephew, who's a prodigy chef kid. I can see not just only through Seth's and his wife, you and yours and my master but personally at the moment I can see how beneficial constructively why being childfree right now is effective and pragmatic and considerate not just for me but many. I bet you both are a awesome uncle and aunt couple
Here's the thing. If you want kids that's your own business. Never make it anyone else's business if they don't want kids.
Woooo I love him even more now!! 🎉
Seth Rogan: I don't want kids.
Me: I don't want the IRS
You'll get it anyway.
I dislike growing up and one of the reasons is that everyone starts having children. And everyone starts thinking about it constantly, and especially TALKING about it constantly. I could not care less about how many times your kid takes a shit or eats, about the fact thay you do not sleep at all, and many more things. I can listen to you for a while, and give you support, but after a certain age (and mind you, im "only" almost 27 yo) they always think and talk about that and I find it super annoying.
I cannot even remotely fathom the idea of coming back from work (which is already so much time taken away from all the things I would love to learn and study in life) at 6 PM and having to take care of a human.
I already work, study on the side, take care of myself and my shared flat, take care and cherish my friends and my family (even if I live abroad so family is far), plan many more things for my future. I have lived in 5 countries and 3 continents, I speak 4 languages, I met people from all around the world and I plan to keep moving around, living in different places as that is FOR ME the only reason I live, and the only source of happiness. I am curious, I wanna learn other people's language, I wanna learn about how they communicate, I wanna learn about their culture, I wanna keep making new friends and meeting all sorts of people.
People who really think you can do this with children are delusional. You absolutely cannot, if you did you'd be a shitty parent.
The same way those parents (not all of them, thank god) judge us for not wanting children, the same way they insinuate we will "regret" it later, I could tell them thay they will regret living the same life every day, all over again, same routine, same place, same people, same habits. But i wont tell them, cause that's probably what makes them happy (hopefully for them hahah). And what makes them happy is not more important or valid than what makes ME happy.
As a childfree man, I get asked the “Why? Why? Why?” question about not want children.
I'm with Seth:)
People can be overly defensive on both sides. It's absolutely nobody's business if someone has kids or not.
I describe having a child as the highest highs and the lowest lows. It's cliche but true that many people won't know how they feel unless they experience it. Seth seems so adamant and it's refreshing that he recognizes this before making a decision he could regret.
Chelsea Handler is an example of a bitter type that goes too far trying to make her life seem superior. It's not a contest. Do whatever you want.
I’ve been saying I won’t have kids since I was in my 20s and everyone keep pressuring me.. been with my partner for 20 years he feels the same way. I’m almost 40 I can’t wait for people to back off, there’s enough people on this planet we don’t need more if I want one I’d rather adopt a kid who needs help!
Flying to mars on a paraglider is slightly more possible than keeping a wife happy forever and raising kids to be adults mentally unscathed
I think it’s great to get that kind of public validation from somebody who has kids, so good job Kelly Clarkson! It is OK not to have kids! Even though I do want kids, there was a good time I was, considering not having them, and that would have been OK if I had stayed in that lane. It’s a stressful life being a parent, if you would rather use that energy doing other things than that is OK. This is not the beginning of planet earth where the Bible said you need to spread your seed and multiply or whatever, we have like 1 billion people in the world, nobody should pressure anybody. because when you make that decision, and you regret it, there’s no going back and waving him magic wand to get rid of your kids. You need to be sure that that life is some thing that you love in spite of its hard shifts, just like the career you choose. Not here come the people who are going to throw a fit then I compared You need to be sure that that life is some thing that you love in spite of it’s hard shifts, just like the career you choose. Now here comes the people who are going to throw a fit that I compared to having kids to having a career…, but you know what, it’s a similar situation, because when you choose you have to stick with it, and you have to do it every day for decades of your life. So yeah. You have to be sure that this is something that is not just draining you for the sake of draining you, and that it’s actually worth it because it’s something you’re passionate about.
Just one thing- there were 3 billion people in the world in 1960. Now there are 8 billion. We are so overpopulated.
it doesnt seem fun at all! im still trying to find a reason to have kids 🤔🤔
Indeed, if you don't want them I respect and accept your decision besides not all human adults were built for the sacred duty. I want them but i saving up with scientific methods.
I guess the big reason from a legacy standpoint-
1.someone to inherit your legacy, assets, and properties so the State won't reap and take away what you earned or made for yourself back into the system
1:48 using this
You should have a choice to be a parent. But the thing to me is that more people should be open about adoption.
Ya I love my nieces and nephews
My mum told me that when I was young I always said that I didn't want children. 46yrs old now have all my hair been with my wife 18yrs never wished or missed the burden of parenthood.
Every time Chelsea Handler says this she gets so much backlash like STFU!
Yep those conservative men are now going after Drew Barrymore now for having a trans person on her show.
I love him he is awesome
Yuk he’s a wimpy commy.
I thank God every day for not having kids.
weird lol
Why does this need to be a topic of discussion. He doesn’t want kids, so? Move on.
People choosing to be 'Child free' benefits everyone.
Also how would 'child free' people "miss out" if they change their minds?
Child free people can also choose to adopt later on you know.
I love that he is wearing shoe-slippers!
I wish I had kids
Perhaps Seth is got the point!
Im 30 years old and My 4 year old son makes my life miserable. I do not enjoy taking him to school and picking him up. I just wish I had my regular life back! 😢😢😢😢😢
Stay strong my brother 👍 i know its hard but your child needs you
I'm happy being childless. I dislike kids lol, love my peace, quiet, gym time, readibg time and career. The dream, all I need now is a puppy and a kitten to complete it❤
Good man. Unfortunately it's the most intelligent people like us (!) who don't want kids... Discuss
Agree 100% Child Free and ecstatic!
😂 perfect word, I agree
I’ve never wanted kids and I have no regrets.
Sure, some people think we need to keep having kids to avoid extinction, but honestly, not everyone is cut out for that. It’s a lot of pressure for something that’s not for everyone
Team no kids 😊
It's time more people start *questioning* the economic system we live in.
No relationship,no kids LIFE IS GOOD and its gonna get better..i would rather have a dog lol
I love kids. Just don't want any of my own. Kinda like doggies. Too much maintenance. 🍻🤔
It's funny because my friends with kids always remind me of the freedom i have even in conversations that doesn't involve kids.
It is simply a personal choice, give people space to make their life how they want it. 🤗☮️
Love you Seth
Parent in the audience (probably the majority) not laughing because they just got their mind blown that they didn't have to have kids.
Lauren Miller is no longer of child bearing age. That ship has sailed for her now. So, it's pointless to ask Seth this question.
100% the honest truth!
omg loll hes too funny
100% facts
I"m so glad I have kids and while it can have it's challenges, like all of life, it's overhwelmingly a wonderful experience. I would have been fine without them, and nothing wrong with not wanting them, but I'm sure glad I have them!
“Overwhelmingly a wonderful experience.” “I would have been fine without them”💀💀💀💀so do you regret it or you wouldn’t change it for the world?
