Seth's laugh sounds like an old beat up car trying to start when you first turn the key 😂
He looks like an old beat up car. 😆
Ayooo come on now 😆
😂
It's annoying
😂😂😂😂
Same thing with my wife and I. I was willing to have kids because I thought it was important to her. We got right up to the point where we’re planning on trying and she “broke the news” to me that she didn’t want kids because she likes our lives the way they are. Biggest relief ever.
Goodbye ancestry 🖐🏾
@@rxgueplanet I’m adopted. Never really had any.
@@rxgueplanet Who cares about blood lines? There's billions of other people out there. All 4 of my grandparents were destroyed by WWII and they passed that violent trauma down to my parents who passed it down to me. It's been a hard struggle to break away to give my son a fighting chance - he does not want kids.
Why did you guys not talk about that before you got married 😂
no one gives a crap about your ancestry lmao@@rxgueplanet
the thing I noticed here is how Seth spoke about his happiness not having kids, without putting down people with kids.
I love and respect that about the interview
why would he put down about half of the audience like that, that would be weird.
Agree! It‘s often different the other way around where people with kids will tell you that you have to have some in life!
@@igorgorbatschowit's because society is trying to drive an expectation onto others without thinking about the individual's goals and what they actually want out of life. They also say that you need kids because you are doing something different and it makes them question their own choices. If people want kids and love it, great. If you don't want kids and love it, great. Whatever makes that individual happy. We are all different.
@@greenkitty82 💯 Couldn't agree more!
There's a LOT of parents that should have never had children and do an awful job and raise neglected monsters. Better to recognize it beforehand.
100% FACTS ... Very sad but true
Like Seth Rogen's parents
@@H0und0fHircin3you mean your parents homie
Totally agree
@@hexZ06 Another celebrity worshipper...
Having my child has given me meaning and so much love but it is hard. If you don't absolutely want kids, you shouldnt have them, the child will feel your resentment
What an ignorant thing to say.
@@Jim_is_Burning how so?
@@sommy9152 me and many other people never dreamed of being parents, yet when my child was born he became my entire world and everything I’ve done since has been for him, I’ve worked to the bone, been in hospital for days at a time, given my everything. But you think just because someone didn’t want kids they shouldn’t have them and the kid will feel any less love? Seems very sheltered and close minded.
@@Jim_is_Burning some parents do change when they have kids, in my view dads in particular. Unfortunately, I have friends whose mothers had them due to societal pressure rather than from a sincere want. I have seen this many times and the mothers are distant, unloving, cold. I'm glad it worked out for you.
@jimi_imanari you were in hospital from working to raise kids? Damn. I don't think that was part of the requirement.
I won't have kids due to poor health, but I would LOVE to live in some sort of a community where childless adults could chip in and help raise other people's children. I've a nephew, and being an aunt is the single most rewarding thing ever when I get to have him over every week.
My son is not going to have kids, so I am an 'auntie' to my friends' kids and his friend's kids.
In Ghana, there are some villages that do that. Everyone would help you raise your kids. That's how I was raised in Accra. 40years ago. I had a mum and dad but they had people who weren't blood related helping, until I was 4 years old. Then I came to the UK. And things like that don't exist here. But they don't really exist much in Ghana. You have to go really far out to small villages
@@dazedconfuseds thats cool to hear
True. My weekend visits with my niece when she was small were my greatest gifts…but also exhausting lol. I hated and loved to see her go 😂
Her (now 21!) and I were actually just talking about this on our last visit. We had a good laugh. She’s still one of my greatest gifts. ❤
God be with you, bless you in your health situation you are a great human being.
Having kids or not having kids is fine, it's people who try to push whatever choice they made on others who are the problem.
REFRESHINGGGG!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
So natural and convincing the way he expressed his commitment to that decision. 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Ppl always rebut "youll be lonely when you get old"... Considering how many old lonely ppl there are in nursing homes who HAVE children who dont visit, I always just smile and nod. Having kids isnt an guarantee of anything, least of all companionship. It feels like a lame scare tactic used by ppl who are already locked into a decision and want others to make the same one to validate themselves. Same thing with the whole "you have to go to college or you'll ve poor". I didnt listen to that either and I out earn all of my siblings who did lol If I had kids, i wouldnt want them to be preoccupied with my existence anyway. I'd want them to be out living full lives for themselves.
Kids arent a necessity these days, they're a nice-to-have accessory
How did you out earn them without school? Curious for myself- as I haven’t went to college yet either.
@@ricardoh87 Withour kids you wouldn't be living in this world today. Thank your parents and their ancestors for giving you a better life than they had.
@@ricardoh87they're slightly necessary for humans not going extinct 😂
I’ve been lonely my entire life , why would I be afraid of being lonely when I’m old? I’ll be a pro at it .
This is a tough topic because whenever someone says they don’t want children, and list any of the logical reasons for why that is, those who have them feel criticized. As if they didn’t think of those reasons, or even worse, they don’t care about such things.
That’s not the case. Everyone has different goals, perspectives, finances, family medical history, etc.
It’s pointless (unless to hurt someone) to tell someone with kids that life is better without them, or to tell someone without kids that life is better with them. Some of these comments make it seem like life is pointless without children, well what about the people who can’t have children? Should they suffer because you think life is better with kids?
If we all took a moment, we could certainly create a pros and cons list for both perspectives and that doesn’t mean anyone is wrong for their journey.
Good for Seth for answering a question about his personal choice and not tearing others down.
The thing is like Seth said is people dont think about those things when they have kids. Ive seen it happen a lot and then youll hear it firsthand from their parents they wish they didnt have you. Especially in this day, people just seem like they dont want to be a parent to their own kids anymore and you can tell and it sucks. Im happy for people that do have great parents though. I didnt but im happy that some kids do though, good for them, i dont wish them to go what i went through.
The only downside about Seth not having kids is that nobody will ever genetically inherit that majestic laugh.
That sounded like an backhanded compliment
I meant it in a good way.
Or take on any of his awfulness
He probs will just not atm
Or that impressive physique 😂
I grew up with two very emotionally immature and unavailable parents who resented us. They acted like having children was the worst experience ever. They often told us they never wanted grandchildren. They acted like we ruined their lives. From someone who felt like an inconvenience growing up, I applaud Seth for being honest and true to himself. It’s better people wrap their minds around what it actually takes to raise a healthy child before making that decision.
So true. SO many people are focused on the unrealistic fairytale then become miserable when reality doesn’t look the same. They expect their children to look and act a certain way and for life to be like the sitcoms portray. These kids of people basically don’t expect their children to grow into their own people with their own opinions. It’s a terrible outcome for everyone involved.
@@supernova11711 exactly! It turns into a toxic family dynamic situation where the children are expected to stay in their “role self”. The kids constantly try to please and gain acceptance from their parents but ultimately never do. This leads to generations of trauma as it tends to get passed down unless the children seek therapy as adults.
There’s nothing wrong with not wanting to have children, knowing that and not having any. Far better than giving it a go and realising afterwards that it’s not for you!
“There’s a whole huge thing I’m not doing” ME EVERYDAY LMFBO
Me right now, in a manager's office watching TH-cam shorts...
Yeah I'm not responsible enough to have kids lol
@@thekidd7having kids truthfully means giving up 80% your own life to dedicate to them, that being said its better to have kids when you’re 30+ there will be less chance of you feeling like you missed out on anything
@@KangaroofiletI don’t know. Life doesn’t end or stop being fun when you’re 30 lol. My husband and I are in our early 40’s and love our childless life. We have a different kind of fun but…fun none the less. And, unlike when we were younger, we can actually afford it! If I got pregnant tomorrow, I would immediately know that it would require giving up a LOT and missing out on all of the things we can freely do now.
Respect brother,
It's nobody's business how you wanna live your life and what makes you happy.
Too many of us are not ready for kids,
And too many of us are not fit to be parents.
It’s a matter of priorities. The minute you have children, they immediately become priority number one. At least, they should be. Some people would rather not have children because they just have other priorities that matter to them
Legendary actress Judith Light deliberately chose to not have kids because she knew she loved acting that much, and she was unwilling to subordinate that to the responsibility of having children, which she knew would have to take precedent. As far as I can tell, she has never regretted that choice. She recently won an award for her work and she’s in her 70s now. I appreciate that level of self-awareness - the world could use a lot more of it.
Ever notice that it’s often people who would most likely make GREAT parents, who are logical and assured enough to say, “yeah, not necessary for my fulfillment in this life”. Yet…yeah, I don’t even have to say it lol 😆
Their soul evolved past the children raising phase
Nah, if they believe they shouldn't have kids means they already subconsciously know they won't do a good job raising a kid. And they're correct, they shouldn't.
@@crimson6172 by that theory, the millions of assholes who “believe” they’d be great parents….😌😆 yah no.
@@hezebelbeing Nah the worst parents are the ones who thinks they shouldn't have kids because that's just building up a resentment time bomb. Not only they'll do a half-hearted job but also the kids will feel disgusted when they learn that the parents never wanted to have them. Raising a child is tough work. If your heart is not in it, don't do it.
It's because smart people overthink having kids. They think themselves out of it.
Why do people always have to explain themselves when they don't want kids, but NEVER the other way around?
Cause we are biologically programmed to procreate. It’s the normal of the two options. If everyone chose your option, the world would end. Kant would state not having children is immoral.
@@Bowhuntertexas my option?
@@Bowhuntertexassounds like you are conflating our DNA and our souls. View them separately and you’ll see that the soul’s journey is independent of nature’s forces.
@@BowhuntertexasHate to break it to you but we are FAR from the day’s of everyone needing to procreate. In fact, we’re almost at the point that we should start limiting the amount of children people do have.
@@supernova11711 you do know the birth rate is plummeting around the world, right?
Society: you needs kids to keep you company when you grow old.
Society: your kids should not live with you once they reach a certain age (which usually coincides with the age when you allegedly need them the most). Let them go!
Society: you invest in your kids for the future.
Society: in the future, your kids should be out of the picture so you have more time to enjoy the latter parts of your marriage.
Also society: you raised all these kids? Cool. Welcome to hospice.
Those are all modern western ideas though. Older western or just non western do not view it that way. It's really just a phenomenon more or less tied to being a first world country with no major challenges and being bored.
He’s telling himself he doesnt but it’s the greatest gift you can give yourself. Life after being a parent changes you.
No. It’s the greatest gift you gave yourself. Not everyone is like you.
For you that is, just not for me though.
@@DylanGonzales-gr8nu killing that family name. What you gonna do when you’re 65 and have nobody
From one man child to another, Seth, this may have been the most sensible thing you’ve ever said to the public.
Having kids or even one kid is a TON of work. I have a 2 year old and although I love her so much and she brings new meaning to my life, I can understand why people wouldn’t want one. I didn’t think I would either. But yea. It really is a lot of deep joy in your soul, and a lot of work you feel deep in your bones some days.
& biggest point- there's someone that's going to take care of you when you're old...
Hey I'm with you Seth. Everyone is not meant to be a parent just because society says so. More power to him
Kids have given me a reason to keep going even in the lows of life. I wouldn't reverse our decision to have kids but not everyone gets their purpose from children, raising kids does take away your freedom and if your purpose is your freedom to do whatever you enjoy then it's not a good decision.
Why do we have to constantly explain why we don’t want kids? Like it’s unfathomable… it’s a life choice like any other and I think it’s brave of them not to succumb to peer pressure. It’s better to have children for the right reasons than to have them because it’s expected.
Easy to see why some feel this way… it’s because the whole point of existence is to reproduce and extend the human species.. people opting out of parenthood are opting out of a basic species survival requirement of reproduction… u are taking an easier route by avoiding raising a human… that’s how some parents may feel… it’s not easy to raise children but if nobody did it humanity would seize to exist.. so u are free to do as u wish, but don’t be surprised that people don’t agree with u.. they may feel like they are contributing to our human survival and you are not… that’s just one view.. I have a daughter 2yo… life would be easier without her… it would also be less meaningful to me so I see it both ways..
90% have it cause its expected and spend next 20 years trying to get away from them.
Because if too many people adopt that mindset the human species will die out. I understand it’s hard for you to fathom but that’s actually a concern in modern society.
Go watch the interview where Elon musk talks about the population threshold, you have a duty to be a parent whether you like it or not.
The main issue is the economy rn, people have become selfish because they can barely afford basic necessities for themselves.
@@jalanmcrae what a ridiculous mindset! There is no obligation to populate the earth. It’s a personal choice and no one gets to tell me what to do. Elon Musk has a gagillion kids with so many women cause he’s a narcissist and he can afford it. He won’t come into my house and tell me what to do. It’s a choice! Period!
@@jalanmcraewell, if people don’t procreate as much as they used to, the entire population will shrink eventually and that’ll solve a lot of current issues. There are too many human beings on the earth right now and many of them are suffering due to poverty and war. It’s in a way more responsible to consider not having children.
I got kids with the wrong woman, and now, I'm unhappy as unhappy can be.
Raising my kids, and getting to see them grow and blossom is the most meaningful thing ever!
I had a kid with the wrong woman as well.. thankfully from age 7 my son came to live with me .. he is now 24. I'm so happy that I raised him
Thats sad to hear khoya
i have kids and wouldnt change a thing but Im totally in support of people choosing not to. there are a far more that have them and really shouldnt
Thank you.
Thank you, we need more like you
A lot of people should probably get a fucking licence to have kids if we're being honest here 😂
I did not know this and it's refreshing to see someone have zero regrets and be happy with no children and say i
Well its Hollywood. What do you expect? The truth?
Zero regrets YET
That is not the laugh of someone with no regrets.
Oh my…all these jealous people trying to bash your comment lol
I agree! Tired of so many people (as seen here) trying to bring others down just for making different choices than they did. Happiness looks different to everyone and that’s okay!
Some people fail to acknowledge that there’s many ppl who would genuinely be amazing parents that don’t want kids and are happy/happier w/o them. You can still be a good person without kids. If you think otherwise, reflect on yourself for your kids/future kids sake. There’s many parents (not all but it’s usually those telling others to have kids) who shouldn’t have kids cuz they’re to narcissistic to even understand how seagulls they are as parent. True happiness comes from within, not from external things; they can influence it but that’s all.
People in this comment section that are angry about his choice are comedy gold😂😂😂. We get it you're miserable about your choice so you're trying to convince everybody that children are key to happiness. And using your children as a retirement plan 😂😂😂Damn how sad
Ok narcissist
@@acx207 I doubt you know the meaning of that word. Because if you did you would have known that I described people like you in my previous comment. Go have children so they can put you in a home and never visit because you destroyed them with your narcissistic needs ☺️❤️
@@acx207 Do you even know the definition of that?
@@oceanwaves8589 You sound more bitter about his choice then he does🤣! Sounds like someone who has kids and hates it so you're projecting your hatred on to him 🙃.
Lol someone is frustrated because nobody wants to mate with her
being child free, is blessing... being free to decide all that i want to...feeling my world is mine and i am limitless...
I dont care about the children thing, But his laugh 😂😂😂😂
Somehow it did not sound natural
There is a new level of awareness unlocked for you with a birth of a child. And it gets upgraded with every new stage of your child’s development. A childless person will never understand a parent, which is fine I guess. We can be different and still live on the same planet…
So well said
I have kids .
I'd Never change it but I really cant understand the stigma against others that chose not to have kids.
Good luck to him.
I guess it's society self-regulating. Like other stigmas, it's meant to eradicate a certain way of thinking or behaviour. Society without kids doesn't exist so this is a big one ;)
This was a deal breaker question for me. I used to ask even on first dates “how do you feel about children?” It’s a rounded question that tells you a lot about the person. I, honestly, love children but I have never wanted to be a mother in any way; including step mother (or whatever the proper term is for that now - my age is showing here). How one answered the question would allow me to decide what type or relationship I would have with that person. I think, due to its life altering decision, it’s important to know these things before a relationship starts. Resentment will grow if you get later down the road and one wants children and the other doesn’t. Don’t waste each others time.
I believe the happiest people are childless. I wish I knew that happiness.
Nah bro u got it backwards
@@couchbased so have you coz I’m not a bro.
@@individualwoman8427damn lol
I know some people who regret not having kids deeply. There is no answer to it. Luck of the draw.
Grow a moral compass
Facts. So many people do shit, like have kids, just because they think they should. Rather than actually wanting them. Do what you want. Not what you're told you should want.
I love the fact that I’m not alone with this type of thinking 😂 LOGICAL thinking. So many parents ( including mine if I’m being honest ) shouldn’t have had kids 🤷♂️ You have to make sure you love and respect yourself first. You also have to be able to afford a good lifestyle for your kids. I think people forget the accountability part. Your kids didn’t ask to be here so don’t dare blame them for your shortcomings 🤷♂️ People be out here acting grown knowing damn well they can’t even take care of themselves.. Let alone a whole fuckin kid 😂
What a stupid thing to say. You sound like a spoiled brat. There are very poor people who are grateful and very happy with life. Your implying they shouldn't have been born because their parents weren't rich is so fucking elitist and pretentious.
His name is his legacy that will live on. He doesn’t need to have children to keep his name to live on after he’s gone
Totally understand this. I am unmarried, childless, & 65. And the older I get , the happier I am that that is the case. I really don’t need the hassle.
You dont miss what you never had, i knew a guy an his mum died during child birth i asked him if he missed his mum an he said i dont know her. That doesn't mean its sometimes better to not have a mum. Im sorry it never happened for you but please dont tell the youth that you made the correct decision the happiness you feel now is nothing compared to the happiness of seeing your own blood family grow older with you.
@@jamesmcguinness6195 I am sure it is not the right choice for everyone, but I think it was the right one for me. I see my contemporaries with their families, and it’s not what I want for myself. Also, the world is overpopulated. So, if “ the youth” had fewer children, it would benefit the planet.
@@6079SmithW-lr5zx Don’t know what you mean by a “standard of reference”. And, what “tip”? I am a simple soul, and only saying what I think, in response to the video.
That’s racist
Honest question: are you scared of dying alone / blinking one day and being old with dementia?
Kids and wife are the best part of life. I didn't want kids, wife did... she won argument and glad she did. It's a feeling you can't understand until you have them.
Doubtful
Yeah, it's true. Don't understand the hate from those who don't have children.
This is honestly amazing. The older my wife and I get, the happier we are, too!
Yeah, same - we're in our 40's now and thank our lucky stars regularly
Yep! Hubby and I are in our early 40’s and love our life! Also, planning on retiring early! 😁
I would rather take care of who is already here than bring more people into the world. Whether that means just helping strangers with small acts of kindness or being a foster parent one day. I’d rather leave behind love than my genetics.
I met a lot of mothers who stopped growing as a person after having kids and became slave to them.
My worst fear 😮
I feel that way sometimes. It takes up so much of your time. It's bloody hard. I respect anyone who chooses not to have kids.
I am not sure what you mean by 'growning as a person' is that making more money or what? having kids is most difficult and rewarding thing that can happen. People are more likely to do hard things for their loved one's as they would do for themself. Rasing kids requires high level of discipline and ability to take over resposibilties that we don't like and are not payed by money. Lots of (not all) childless people are big kids, that couldn't handle any hardship.
Not everyone is capable of having children, and it is okay. There is no shame in knowing your limits. @baassiia
@@ThanhNguyen-jf2jv of course. I was refering to Linda comment, in which she said that after having kids, many people 'stopped growning as a person' and she hasn't specify what 'growing' really means.
When you watch an old couple surrounded by their siblings and grandchildren you can feel they are warm and happy. Unlike the ones without kids you can see the emptiness and sadness in their life.
I love my children but they are loads of work and sometimes a complete pain in the ar**.
So how will he continue the generation with this attitude, he must urgently change this thought 🙌🏼❤️
Seth is a BREATH of FRESH AIR!!!
More of a KUSH AIR 😂
@@sypialnia_studiohaha yes
It’s old stale bong air but I agree
He's so right! I wish i had thought it out better before the fact. I appreciate Seth's honesty.
all the salty parents who wish they were rich and had no kids in the comments mad is funny
Not really, I'm plenty well off and I have kids. I just didn't need to make 20 movies with the same "hahaha weed bro" as the storyline.
@@Kaboomboo who asked you tho 🤣🤣
@@Kaboomboo also obviously never watched more than one of his movies, only a couple have to do with weed for the story line. Cry more tho
@@Kaboomboo You’re kinda just proving his point. As soon as someone famous says they’re not having kids because they’re happy without them, its like all the parents have to unite and be all up in arms and say they’re being fake happy or they don’t know real happiness til they have kids. I don’t understand why people with kids have this hate on for people who just simply don’t want them.
Maybe there's folks with kids who understand the meaning they provide in life. I guess folks who take their own existence for granted wouldn't understand.
I respect peoples decisions, i thinks its great when both people in the relationship want the same thing here. Too many people who dont want kids end up having them and then they sometimes become shitty parents.
The only downside is lately more good potential parents arent having childen, and the shitty parents are having tons. This is slowly becomimg more apparent and in 20 years time itll be very evident.
Completely agree. 59, never wanted them. I built a firm, i couldnt have done that with them. Im happy with my choices and happy for thise who do have them
Meh, kids are better than a firm
Laying on death bed thinking" wish I could have my firm bigger" lol everyone's last thoughts are always wishing they spent more time with personal relations and family
@@Ameson_That's not true at all. Most people wish they had more time to enjoy what "they" liked without having to worry about the burden of family. That's why people have so much resentment towards their family now.
And when you die, your firm will hire someone else to manage it…
@@brendanbudniak2261yeap comparing kids to a firm? I would take my 5 kids over 2 firms any day
I can’t think of anything worse than having kids. Sounds like a nightmare you can’t wake up from.
Having a child ruined my life. Still full of so much resentment 2 years later. Kinda went along with the idea of kids because my wife desired them so badly and I never gave it a thought. Carelessly agreed to it and now live in regret.
Well I reckon it's about time you put your big boy pants on now and get yourself some therapy so you can get over yourself. You made your bed, as you said yourself. Carelessly. Do try not to ruin your child's mental well being because of your reckless and incapable decision making. It's the least you can do for the poor soul you brought into this world, through no fault of his own. How self absorbed can you actually be, I do wonder.
Yeah having a kid can suck and it’s hard af. Man up you made the choice ultimately
Being a parent is my key of succes. After having kids my world opened up in ways a never imagined before.I discovered in me strength, happiness, growth, intelligence.
He’s talking right. ❤👏
Good if u don't want them be mature enough not too regardless later u can adopt but whatever it's all good be happy and good people.
I agree Seth. Everyone who tells me that as a woman I should have kids I see them con stay stressed and miserable. I tell them I don’t wanna be miserable and tired all the time. I’m the happiest person I know. Which is so sad cause life is short and we are not here forever.
I will enjoy my children.
Not everyone is born to raise children. It’s a life time commitment and involves responsibility, sacrifice, financial support, and a great deal of mental, physical and emotional energy.
I only had one child and it was an easy peasy life with him. He currently has 4 children and is fully engaged in raising them with his wife. I don’t envy them at all. I live next door to them and although I realise they do share many of the joys that come with bringing them up, it does, at times bring the worst out of them.
When it comes to disciplining, the yelling that I hear from my place is pretty scary. Kids can be very challenging and sometimes they say and do bizarre stuff that is truly mind boggling.
It really does depend on the characteristic of a child. A defiant, stubborn child can sometimes create lifelong problems for parents which can then sadly lead to serious stress related illnesses for the parents.
My husband and I help out with our 4 grandchildren and I believe that the extra assistance we provide contributes tremendously.
Although I love my grandchildren to the moon and back, I quietly wish that my son only had a couple of children because I can see that the burden of four children has worn him down.
It is what it is, and I totally understand the reasoning for a great number of people choosing not to have children. One needs to be fully prepared and selfless to take on this very challenging role in life.
Ultimately, raising children requires financial stability, extended family/ social support and continual care and love that needs to last a lifetime.
Good luck to those who are currently parenting. And to those individuals who have consciously chosen not to have children, I totally understand and agree with your reasoning.
I needed this! I am 28 years old & feel like I’m suppose to have kids. But the idea of it makes me want to scream because of how introverted & ADD I am. I can imagine the noise that comes with having kids. I can imagine the lack of sleep you get & the lack of me time I get for having kids. So yeah, no lol it ain’t happening.😊
28 is young. We out here having kids at 38. You have time to decide
Hope you change your mind because you'll be missing out on the most beautiful thing life has to offer. And this is coming from someone who traveled the world and never planned to have them. Best thing ever.
They completely changed my life. So glad I did it.
His laugh kills me and gives me life at the same time.
I haven't watched the full interview, but I remember learning from an old Larry King interview that Seth's wife comes from a family where Alzheimer's disease is greatly prevalent. All her grandparents had it, and both her parents got it at an early age, in their 50s I believe. I can't imagine what it must be like to go through that, and live with that legacy. I wouldn't be surprised if it factored in their decision not to have kids. It certainly would for me if I were in their shoes.
@@PicklefatherNurgle where did you get that?
@@TheChannelJ1 Get what? The info about the history of Alzheimer's in the family of Seth's wife?
They could have adopted kids if they wanted kids anyway
@@vivianelima4065 True. That's a much longer process, though. I'm not saying they actually wanted kids. I'm simply saying that I suspect the strong prevalence of Alzheimer's in Seth's wife's family was probably a factor in their decision.
Seth's charity is called Hilarity for Charity, to help with Alzheimer's research and such.
Everyone is stuck on the fact that he doesn’t have kids. Why? It’s none of our business. If I meet another adult literally anywhere and the topic of kids comes up and they say they don’t have kids - I don’t ask them why. Because I know it’s either a personal or medical reason why they don’t have kids and it’s none of my business. A family member and his wife decided not to have kids even though they would be great parents and I have never asked them once why. Because it’s their business.
Also all the people who have kids need babysitters and eccentric Aunts and Uncles. We're literally providing a service 😂😂😂😂
Good point. Love baby sitting my nephews. Event my cousins kids! Still don’t want my own. Lol
Not likely. Grandparents are the first choice. They've earned it and created it.
@@cincin4515 maybe not likely in your family. Very likely in mine. What did they “earn”?? There is usually enough time to go around. My retired parents are also enjoying relaxing, traveling, and enjoying the retirement that they earned.
I used think the exact same until I had a kid and wow. what a game changer. life has such a deeper meaning and purpose. something you don't know your missing unfortunately unless you do it
It's his choice. Why should he be obligated or forced?
Too many Ppl are full of BS. They want a democracy when they makes choices for themselves But want to be a dictator when forcing their antiquated doctrine on others. If a person opts out of having kids. It’s okay
SAY IT LOUDER. look at the host. Some people with kids or who want kids are physically uncomfortable with the idea of people who don't.
Bro why do people hate him so much
Look at what he creates. Santa inc… yeah, he deserves it. 😊
@untitled0909 I haven’t seen all those but I’m sure some of them are good.
Still created Santa Inc. though.
@@jjminorall of them are good lmao
@@TauntPeak I’d like to see pineapple express because I heard good things about it. Superbad I wasn’t a big fan of, but that was a while back and may be if I watched it again I might like it more. Maybe 😉
all he does is make bank doing a fun job, smoke weed and have no responsibility of parenthood - jealousy is the reason
He has no idea what happiness is. I thought I never wanted kids. I had kids late in life and I can wholeheartedly say it is the best thing ever. I thought I wanted to get smashed, listen to music, have holidays and money etc. but having kids and watching them grow and flourish is the most beautiful feeling. It’s indescribable. Seth Rogan is a trumpet.
It is so awesome
He is being real. As a father of 3 happy healthy kids, I cannot deny that I sometimes think about what I would be if I didnt have kids.
BUT, when I am with them, I would also think what I would be without them.
Just live your life and do what feels right to you
It's later in life when nobody comes near you anymore because they're busy with the grandkids. Then it will pinch.
@@cincin4515if you don't have relationships outside of children you will be lonely as well. They aren't going to visit you every day
There’s never 2 people that don’t want kids. There is just 1 person that values making the other partner happy above what they want. I’ve head so many people that say stuff like this but when 1 of them get too drunk or high while on their feelings the truth always come out.
People who want kids should be having more kids and people who don’t shouldn’t have any. If only people who shouldn’t have kids didn’t want them then the world would be a better place lol
Not everyone is going to have kids, but I'm thankful to live in a time where people openly share not having kids. I love the children in my life but I know it's not for me and I am at peace with that.
i'm 48, never got married, never had kids, and i dont regret it, if it happened then great, but im fine that it hasnt.
They all say this till there on their death bed
I agree with OP, but the prof pic of a cat is literally just re enforcing a childless stereotype...
@@thekidd7 i like cats, had 4 since i was a kid, give me ten cats over one human child any day.
@@malikmusa3068 ive been close to that, never thought i wish i had children
@@malikmusa3068are you ok. Everyone doesn’t even get a death bed. Some parents outlive their children. Some kids hate their parents and never visit. Having kids is not flex ppl make it out to be. Also having a child to have at your death is a lot to place on a child.
He is right but you don’t see men attacking him. Good to hear a man say this. I have friends and relatives with kids nightmares even the good kids. It’s always something ❤
Perfectly fine. Not everyone wants to be parents and I totally get it.
The only thing I will say is that personally and honestly I don’t think you will know love like loving your own child. You will never experience the emotions parenthood allows you to feel. You will never experience as deep and rewarding a relationship as you can have with your own child.
This makes the difficulties of parenthood all worth it for me.
But that’s just my view and holds true to my experience.
Good for him. I have kids and I hate being a mom 90% of the time. It's been horrible for my mental health. I do believe that it will get better when they're older but right now it just feels like torture.
You are not worth to be a mother at that point if you think that bad about your children
I like kids (not in a creepy way), but I don’t like them enough to want to be stuck with one for the rest of my life. I would rather just be a godfather or an uncle to a kid than their parent. It would be cool to be around them occasionally, but presiding over them 24/7…nah, screw that.
It’s a redundant thing to say that not having kids has helped him succeed… because no one knows the alternative. Had he had a child, he may even be more successful. I’ve recently become a father and I’ve now got an extra drive that I never knew I had.
Success is also subjective and comes in many forms.
As an entrepreneur with 3 kids I can say that my experience is opposite. Having kids creates more focus, energy and perspective not less. Kids make you think in decades and think about societal issues. Most of the world’s most successful people have plenty of kids.
Oh shut up, no one asked. If he doesn’t want kids, leave him alone
Johann Sebastian Bach had 14 kids and is the best composer of all time. So it’s not simple. And I smell an air of big teenager boy vibes.
Completely. It's trying to hang on to selfish youth for as long as possible.
😂😂😂😂 to all the parents getting defensive. Did ya make a decision you might be regretting? Save the salt for your crotch trophy's happy meal.
The research does actually show that parents generally do regret having kids.
However the ones who become grandparents no longer have regret and do feel it's been worthy. This makes sense. It's a fact that young children bring many health benefits to the elderly.
I can't link u the source cos I can't remember it
Poor thing, tuning.
I think it is impossible for any person to know both sides of the fence on how you would feel. If you did have kids VS not having kids. Because all you know is the life you've lived and don't know if kids would bring on more meaning to life or not.
The problem with kids is you appreciate the experience looking backwards so you don't know how valuable they are to your life until you have them. I understand not wanting kids but I don't know anyone regretting it down the road, or maybe they don't say it.
The problem is who would say it? Almost NOBODY is going to have kids, and then say straight up (especially if their kids are within earshot) "Yeah I regretted having them"
"Yeah son I regret having you but it's all good!" 😅 Nobody will do that regardless of how they feel.
I've heard of people regretting having kids they admit it online. There's 2 reasons I'd be afraid to have kids, 1 my mental health and afraid il regret it and 2 messing the poor kids head up 😢 so I havnt had any.. I grew up unsafe nd have very toxic family so I wouldn't have any support either so yeah..
I’ve known multiple people who weren’t sure they wanted kids, had them, and wound up struggling and now don’t have much positive to say about their children.
Most are exhausted, many wound up divorced and having to go back to school. Their mental health has taken a huge dive in the process. It has not given them fulfillment, it has become an anchor stealing their health.
There are plenty of unhappy people with children. Tons. And you won’t hear them say anything about it because it would break them or ruin their social credibility. Sometimes these people won’t acknowledge it even to themselves and inadvertently take it out on their children.
Your comment is foolish
Plenty of people regret having kids. There is a whole Facebook group.
The guilt and shame of needing children also has terrible future parents taking care of them and as we have seen... Most parents are unfit parents at the very least at the start, worst case always.
Seth Rogan is a star, not only does he have an authentic and delightful personality but he is very insightful in clarifying that it doesn't suit his personality
have you seen the way he talks to people on twitter?? hes a psychopath. You should look it up on youtube dudes cray cray
he's an intolerant psychopath
I didn’t have kids until i became 48. 8yrs later I have two. Loving every moment with them. I didn’t want children before, just like our man here, but I feel, it would have been for me a huge waste of life not having them.
Wow ,cool.
I did not want children either, the first two were accidents really, don't regret it now
Seth doesnt have kids but is involved in a lot of things like the last TMNT movie and Invincible. He appeals to a lot of kids... of all ages... we are his kids lol
He thinks he’s so funny even though raising kids is one of the most important things you can do in your life
I love my parents, but it definitely put stress on them for sure. Occasionally, my mom would scream “I F***ing hate kids!” at the top of her lungs when she got upset.
Narcissists get jealous of children , they can’t stand the attention going elsewhere
They love it when they’re pregnant or when you’re a baby. People moving out of their way because they have a stroller or telling them how beautiful their baby is. They see us as an extension of themselves and think they own us. They also get off on controlling our whole world.
It’s when we get older and outgrow our usefulness that they start to really hate us. We no longer garnish the attention they so desperately desire. And goodness forbid daughter becomes “more beautiful or more successful” than mom! That’s when it REALLY starts.
@@supernova11711 yeah but real narcissists wouldn’t be able to care for children, what yoir talking about sounds more like munchausen by proxy .
I’m 53 no kids, female and knew at 9 I didn’t want children….never have regretted it…😊
Not yet, but on your death bed you will.
Not missing anything. Able to do what you want. Trust me kids are the worst
Whilst I'm no fan of him. I agree with him. Having children is literally my worst possible nightmare!
I love him even more now
If you have kids to make YOURSELF happier or give meaning to your life, you’re being selfish. At the end of the day, you shouldn’t let your happiness rely on someone else. You should be enough to be happy
Untrue. We are social beings and literally have human connection as a deep need, there is nothing selfish about raising children, providing you’re doing it right.
If you’re speaking of narcissists that want tiny people to control, yes they’re horrible and they’re sick. Narcissistic is also how I’d describe someone not valuing children OR severely traumatised from their own childhood thereby not wanting kids
@@DeepThought73 I get what you’re saying and I agree with that part that we are social beings and creating a family is in our dna. But what I’m saying is if the only purpose of someone having a kid is to try and be happy, then that’s going about it the wrong way. It should add on to your life, not BE your life.
Having kids makes the highs higher and the lows lower
Power to the ones who can and do good job at it
Sorry for the ones who do and dont
No kids = More money for weed
Kids = Little helpers that can help you grow it
😂😂😂
Seth says it, no issue. I say it, it's WW3.
