I feel about kids the same way Sarah does! And many times get scared people might misconstrue my enthusiasm and so back out... So happy to hear I'm not the only one who loves kids that way!
I love kids, but I do not want to have any. If you had asked me ten years ago, I might have given a different answer. But today, after an exhausting battle with prescription drug addiction and mental health issues, I am almost 40 and I am tired. I don't want to spend my 40s and 50s raising kids, I want to spend them actually enjoying my life, which I haven't really been able to do since I got OCD when I was 16. The one thing I am glad about is that my sister has kids, so my parents have grandkids. That means the pressure is off of me, thank god. And my other sister is going to have kids too.
Hooray... I love and support all 3 of those things. But I don't like some of the vegan community being anti child. There's scientific evidence esp for a more plant based lifestyle than the earth can handle our population, we just aren't giving sustainable now
Right on, men too! We are around 40 yo and zero kids. This is also due to human over-population (poodwaddle dotcom), that 450,000 kids-teens wait to be adopted by the anti-BC people and for many other reasons. Well, we all get to pay child support tho, like "socialist" public schools k-12, but universal health care is "socialism" to some!
There are many problems with wanting to be "childfree", but the biggest one is this: Only people of certain cultures will embrace the concept of "childfree" and those cultures will diminish and disappear. This has happened before and it will happen again. An example from history is the Shakers (look them up in Wikipedia). The shakers did not have children and now they are all gone. If you do not want two or more children and your friends do not want two or more children, then your culture is in the process of going extinct.
Words of Cheresie Whats the problem with cultures disappearing? It has happened before because of war, low birth rates or whatever and it will continue to happen in the future. Theres going to be more and more people on earth and cultures will merge or disappear, thats how it goes.
Andrea Marinela, I agree, but it does insinuate the child free # will always be a fringe minority and become more so over time. In a 100 years Mormons and similar prolific cultures and religions will be huge. The earth is doomed. So have a nice day, because the future doesn't matter that much anyways.
I love being an uncle , I get to be around for the fun parts of a kids life while also being able to yeet them back to their parents when they start crying .
I actually think that question "how do you do it as a working dad," is a great question. Dads are important. Dads aren't just providers. There is evidence that having 2 parents (or more, if you include grandparents) in the home helps children grow up into happy, healthy adults. So how does a dad be present for their children while holding down a full time job? I want to know as a gay man.
Mike utubesux I am pretty sure she did not say anything... I gotta rewatch but I think she intended for the beep there. Also, I'm dumb. Somehow I didn't hear most of the beeps lol
Q definitely not Hulu bleeping. Check out their show Future Man.. Hardcore vulgarity, full frontal nudity of Josh Hutcherson x2, gratuitous violence, etc
Hey man, I'm a working Dad. And my wife is a working Mom. We both wish we could spend more time with the baby, but right now we both need to work to pay bills and debt
I thought this was recent. Had to make sure I’m not crazy and hawking is no longer with us. This whole time I’ve been watching clips of her show, I thought it was all 2018/current. Lol.
What about dads who would want nothing more than to watch their kids grow up and play with them and teach them all the dad stuff, and be there for them, but they have to work all the time so their family doesn't die? Not all people love their jobs the way you do.
Sarah you're great.. and I'm sure you're offspring is gonna be even better... don't you wan't the world to be filled with many Sarah junior... instead of many many many trump junior junior.... ugh
Barren? Why don't you TRY and find out? the WORST that could happen is that she becomes another Miley Cyrus. ...........................On SECOND thought, NEVER MIND.
Paralysis jokes. Dude, my opinion of this comedian is plummeting. Pedophilia. canabalism. Heteronormative. I am vomiting so much it's showing up in Samantha's B's sketch.
It's ironic that someone who is so in love with themselves (and we all are to a degree) wouldn't recognize the gift of getting to leave behind a copy of you when you die. If you just want to vanish without a trace...no kids, I guess (flame on)
It is a little sad that people dont understand why gender roles exist at all. A mother has the job because she is biologically better at it. The life that is her child has come from her own, and she has a more intimate connection with the child than the father. That does not mean that the father is incapable or the mother does not have a choice. When a single male parent takes care of a child he has to play the role of both the father and the mother - meaning that certain aspects of parenting are feminine and other aspects are masculine. Biolobically, females have more feminine characteristics and males have masculine characteristics, making them more suited for their respective jobs. Gender roles are a real thing, and we should understand as much.
Growing up, I was much closer to my dad than my mom. I still am now. I couldn't relate to my mother very well. I looked at things from an emotional perspective, and so did she. My dad however was both emotional and logical. He was the person I would always turn to for advice and talk about life and my friends and boyfriends about. My dad was always home when we got home from school. He went to work early (at like 7 am), came home by 4:30 pm at the latest and finished his work on his computer after we had gone to bed. (we all did after school activities, so we got home around 5 pm ish) Both my parents cooked our meals. Both taught us important life lessons. I love my mom, but I was always closer to my dad. (I wasn't comfortable discussing my first period with my mom, she found I got it from my sister.) Biologically, mothers carry babies and give birth to them. But after that, the kid can develop an emotional attachment to either or both of the parents. I do think that gender roles exist, but only because we perpetuate them. Mothers are usually more available than fathers. (Because fathers are working when their kids want to talk or need something and mothers tend to be at home.) I think that having both parents teach the child important lessons, but I also think that they only prescribe to gender roles because society expects it of them and because they were raised with those roles.
Yup. This. You nailed it. I've always related more to my father. My sister was closer to our mother. That's not to say that I wasn't close to my mother, because I was (she passed suddenly in 2005, hence the past tense but thankfully my father is very much alive)-we were very close as my parents divorced when I was 15 and I lived with her so we got quite a bit closer as the years went on and her unexpected death completely fucked my world up. With that said, when it came to general personality, interests, temperament, and general rationale- I connect(ed) with my father a bit more. Our personalities are damn near identical, so we are naturally more comfortable with each other. Our family dynamics didn't revolve around gender roles so much as just natural connections as people.
Dragoonman, it's fine for you to speak for yourself or your family, but don't you think it's a little bit ridiculous for you to make a sweeping statement about all the families in the world? My dad was far more nurturing and emotional than my mom. My mom, sister, grandma and many of the women in our family really hated staying home with kids. It wasn't a healthy situation for them, so they worked, and were judged harshly by society for it (not my sister too much, luckily things have changed). If society would have eased up on the rigid gender roles, maybe my dad could have allowed himself to stay home and care for us, while my mom made money, cause she was better at it! It's just fine if you like traditional gender roles, and I hope you find a partner who agrees with you, but speak for yourself. Your views don't represent humanity as a whole.
Cami - What you are talking about is the nature vs nurture argument. I claim that biologically a mother is more likely to be better at taking care of a child. This statement means that statistically she is, meaning there can be people who dont fall under this generalization, but the majority do. Also, a person's upbringing can affect their characteristics. Maybe the women in your family learnt from the other women in the family how to behave and it has stuck over a period of time. Society is stupid Cami. It thinks recognizing gender roles is equivalent to enforcing it. As i said above, a male can be feminine and a female can be masculine. I associate feminine traits with motherhood. i am sorry that your family was judged for its decisions, and I am happy that they were able to overcome it instead of succumb to it.
I feel about kids the same way Sarah does! And many times get scared people might misconstrue my enthusiasm and so back out... So happy to hear I'm not the only one who loves kids that way!

That sounds rough, but there's nothing wrong with knowing what you want for you or what you can handle. We're all different.
Thank you.
Sending love from Australia, Sarah! This monologue puts clearly into words what I've been thinking for so many years. Thank you xxx
Sarah is awesome, we have lots in common. We are childless (due to over-population), atheist and vegan too :)
VeganMotorcyclePilot We are with you on being childless, atheist, but we'll pass on the vegan. Happy 2018 !
Wow I had no idea she is vegan!! I have way more in common with her then I thought :)
Hooray... I love and support all 3 of those things. But I don't like some of the vegan community being anti child. There's scientific evidence esp for a more plant based lifestyle than the earth can handle our population, we just aren't giving sustainable now
I really don't get how anybody of any gender manages the child raising thing, to be honest.
You do your best while still "failing" but as long as the parenting comes with love and respect it will all be good in the end.
Soooo relatable. Ty!
I've got to check this show out, I love the clips I've seen and I love watching Sarah perform.
Sarah, you are awesome.
I love you Sarah
We need more women saying this #childfree
Right on, men too! We are around 40 yo and zero kids.

How about you just keep it to yourselves

that tweed jacket and turtleneck is *_happening...._*
Amen.
#workingdad that was sharp.
This was a great one!
Stephen Hawking should have tried smiling more when solving all those problems of the universe....
Enjoyed
On point!
Why is this youtube version beeped (censored)? Ridiculous
Im with you on this Sarah.
I am glad she is supportive of the sciences, what with the Hawking jokes and dressing like Carl Sagan.
"There are...billions and billions...of people on this planet who hate Donald Trump."
I Love You, Sarah
I love this woman.
She is awesome.
#childfree and loving it.
Sarah is always funny
Hero 💟
I love being an uncle , I get to be around for the fun parts of a kids life while also being able to yeet them back to their parents when they start crying .
I love you, Sarah Silverman!!

Jokes don't work when they're bleeped. Grow up youtube.
BK Bland well the thing is, the joke itself is the bleeping
No. Refer to my previous comment.
What did she say? "I'm not attracted to... (cock parts)"?
Mike utubesux I am pretty sure she did not say anything... I gotta rewatch but I think she intended for the beep there.
Also, I'm dumb. Somehow I didn't hear most of the beeps lol
Q definitely not Hulu bleeping. Check out their show Future Man.. Hardcore vulgarity, full frontal nudity of Josh Hutcherson x2, gratuitous violence, etc
Wait.. the first time? There was a second time? * blink *
I'm not famous, but I am #childfree and #happy #happy #happy @ 57y.o.. Wouldn't do it any other way. I LOVE kids too.
Hey man, I'm a working Dad. And my wife is a working Mom. We both wish we could spend more time with the baby, but right now we both need to work to pay bills and debt
I love Sarah. Nasal voice and all
I thought this was recent. Had to make sure I’m not crazy and hawking is no longer with us. This whole time I’ve been watching clips of her show, I thought it was all 2018/current. Lol.
hahahah shit fuck this was super funny hahahahhahaha I didn't expect this at all.
shit....
this is *on point*
Loved it hahaaa
It's fucking weird how on some of these clips swearwords are bleeped and on some they're not.
I need a Carl Sagan look as well.
Why censor? I'm disgusted.
bleeping sucks
Steven Hawking is dead now 😢
why do they keep bleeping the swear words
What about dads who would want nothing more than to watch their kids grow up and play with them and teach them all the dad stuff, and be there for them, but they have to work all the time so their family doesn't die? Not all people love their jobs the way you do.
howlswithwolves then maybe ask partner who might love to lean in and focus on job if the man could be primary caregiver
they don't bleep Norm. wtf?
Lmao she's like almost 50
I was expecting comedy.
Sarah you're great.. and I'm sure you're offspring is gonna be even better... don't you wan't the world to be filled with many Sarah junior... instead of many many many trump junior junior.... ugh
No, you're not an anomaly.
Barren?
Why don't you TRY and find out? the WORST that could happen is that she becomes another Miley Cyrus.
...........................On SECOND thought, NEVER MIND.
Fuck Hulu and fuck you bitch!
You'll figure it out Sarah. You will NEVER regret having children. LMAO, working dad, now that there is funny.
Condoms
This outfit is a crime
Absolutely disgusting.
Heteronormative, and normalitive (why is it not cool to demean everyone except the disabled)?
Paralysis jokes. Dude, my opinion of this comedian is plummeting. Pedophilia. canabalism. Heteronormative. I am vomiting so much it's showing up in Samantha's B's sketch.
