As a non-parent that doesn't plan on ever having kids I enjoyed this video. It was nice to hear some reasons people enjoy being parents outside of "it's just so great!"
As a childless woman (by circumstance and choice), I can’t tell you how much I appreciated this video. Thank you so very much!!! The intro was the best “I’m very glad we had a baby....Kay let’s not have anymore!” I’ve a proud Auntie and Godmother and love every second of it.....and I love handing them back! Your parents are so cool and fun! Your baby is adorable, too. Excellent video! Yes, your baby saying “eyes” and “no hands” is sincerely and truly amazing!!! They are the MOST FUN EVER!! I love kids! I really do. I just don’t want my own.
Seems you've found good balance! Full time single dad to a toddler here and on one hand it grounds me with purpose and keeps me busy, but on the other I feel trapped and miserable and exhausted 85%+ of the time. I guess some people like kids more than others, and how often do parents hear men offer to babysit? It must be great to do it part-time so you can still pursue an ideal life of your own (your kids or not). Ambition has become this curse that haunts me and won't leave me alone. But while I kindly envy part-time parents, I'm sure many of them envy me and might miss their kids when they're away. I must admit that when I'm lucky enough to have my cousin or aunt babysit for a weekend, I don't miss my daughter one bit. Not even sorry. There's nice moments in parenting my my god it's like an audio equivalent of a Chinese drip torture! I miss my trail of thought and creativity. Oh and fun, I miss that too. And the pub. Don't get me wrong, I couldn't live not knowing where my daughter is or if she's safe, but that doesn't mean I enjoy being a mommy. My masculinity has been replaced with a headache!
@@KnuckleHeadMusicUK keep at it, man! and keep finding that little time for yourself whenever you can find someone to babysit, totally needed and nothing to feel guilty about. Just keep thinking that your daughter will some day be an adult that you will be able to have actual adult conversations with. It is mind blowing. And the pub will still be there then too. 🍻
Grandbabies are even more fun. You get all the cool stuff without any of the responsibility. I couldn't wait for her to learn how to talk, and now that she's been talking for five years I am constantly amazed by her observations.
@@firefist8511 See also being an Aunt or Uncle. And you can use that opportunity to get back at your sibling by spoiling the hell out of the kid, and then sending them home when they're all sugared up and cranky. XD
When I discussed the matter with my dad the other day he said something similar to what Craig's parents did. He said "back in our day it wasn't really a question of 'if' we would have kids but rather 'when'." Most of my life I just assumed I wanted kids someday, and then I went through a period in which I felt certain I did NOT want to have kids ever. Now I'm 28 years old and the dratted motherly instinct is kicking in despite all logic and reason. This video was a comfort to watch, given my current internal struggle on the subject.
Ya'll just confirmed why I like being an auntie so much. I adore other people's kids. They are funny, they are cute, they learn to do things and you are like "whoa I've never seen you do this before". But I am a painfully logic-based person and I still can't understand the appeal of doing it myself, lol
We've been married for 10 years and decided in our 20's that we do not want kids. We are both teachers and spend a lot of time with kids, and enjoy them immensely, but have no desire to come home to any. We are also a kickass aunt and uncle combo for the many kids in our life. I won't ever know the other side, but I feel that I get plenty of fulfillment through spending time with other people's kiddos. And their parents appreciate the free babysitting. Win-win.
Interestingly a classic reason why people liked having kids was not included here: "you like having someone take care of you when you get old" / "it's nice to not die alone" / "this person will feel obligated to take care of me in my old age because I protected them for 18 years". I guess we all know we're just going to be shuffled off into a retirement home, and ignored most of the time.
Try to become and stay a pleasant company and in your actual mind till the old age, and you're fine. Willing your property to something that is not your family is also a helpful option. But honestly, I think it depends on how you treat your own parents mostly. My grandma lives in her own flat in another city, and mom drives to her weekly or almost weekly, mostly to buy her groceries and have tea together. So I also only imagine buying my own place instead of trying to inherit mom's and definitely will take care of mom, then she will be 80+, while she'll be living at her place.
Watching this while I cradle my 12-week-old daughter. I always knew I wanted to be a mom, and finally being one is a dream come true. Our next step is to hopefully foster and adopt children several years down the line when we have more parenting experience and better finances. Ava is adorable and growing up so quickly!
Yes I used my child to settle a debt with child sex slave trafficers, I lost my job and couldn't pay the mob back so they took my kid and sold her to human trafficers. Can always make another one
The best part, IMO, is that it only gets better. I liked being a father to a small child, but it was a lot of hard work. Now I have two kids, 11 and 12, and they get more awesome every year. It's amazing.
My parents probably thought they were passing on something (habits, ideologies), but their brood quickly rejected everything at age 18 (and continue to decades later). So that argument is out!
Not really, the older you get the more alike your parents you become. It's just that you reject it when you're 18-ish in order to individualize and create an identity. When you get older you start to see all the traits you hated in your parents; show in your own personality. You didn't really oppose that though, what you said is that the habits and ideologies didn't pass on and that is entirely possible, but their personality traits will surely pass over. And isn't a person's personality more of their essence than opinions and ideologies are anyways?
@@Birchifyed I concur. When I left home I thought "I'm finally independent, I'm going to be nothing like you guys!". 10 years later...While noticing some of my behavior "Wow, my mom used to do this a lot", while saying something "Wow, my dad used to say this a lot". Sure there are plenty of things still very different but a lot is so ingrained that it just comes out to the surface.
Two of the three most important things in my world are in this video, my daughter and granddaughter. They are the only things that really matter to me when it all comes down to it. The experience of love that deep is the closest I think we can come to transcending the human experience. Everything else pales to that.
@Artoria Pendragon well of course - you create a difficult task which you can't postpone and you accomplish it every day, of course, you feel rewarded. But you can also not add that task to your life.
Man this is fucking awesome! :D Loved the video. Im 30 and my mom would take ANY BABY literally from anyone at this point and I never wanted them because for all the practical reasons, and ive never been one to coo at cute babies. But in all honesty, its the partner thing. I dont mind the idea, but I dont have anyone I want to have a child with, the level of trust and love required to actually want TO CREATE A WHOLE NEW HUMAN together is never been something Ive experienced. And Ive been raised by a single mom and know I dont want to be one. Im honestly happy to see your baby has such cool parents who actually want to be together for the right reasons. Also, your parents are amazing in every episode XD
Despite cultural pressure, remind yourself that it totally fine to be Successfully Solo and Child free, I am at 41 and LOVE it. I've also got a friend who, although she loves her 4yr old, regrets being pushed into having him by he Dad (her now ex-husband). So yeah, you do what is right for you!
I was about to comment the same thing. Im almost 30 and it sucks people telling me that I should have a family and house and everything. Ive never wanted to but I like the idea of it. I can move out easily tho. All my friends are the same but they still struggle for work. I dont know why people are in so much rush to have children and then they complain they are struggling to support a family. Its crazy.
I never wanted to have kids or ever found children particularly cute or enticing. I've been with my partner for 12 years now and he is a very good person and I love him so much. I often look at him and feel this (probably just instinctual) desire to have a child with him, BUT I know that practically it would be a bad idea. I know I will grow to resent and even hate my husband if we ever have children, and that would make me miserable. I never want that to happen. As intelligent and kind and attractive as I find my husband, I know he is a bit lazy when it comes to household things. He is used to a different level of mess and dirt than I am, doesn't seem to notice it even, and so doesn't help around in the house much unless I specifically tell him what to do. He is also a heavy as a log sleeper. I know I would end up doing all the work involved with a baby, all the sleepless nights would be mine, and I would grow angry and resentful. I do most of the household work as it is and it bothers me that he has no interest or initiative to do his fair share, but luckily, with it being just us and our cats, I doubt it is close to the amount of work it would be if we had a young child or baby. I imagine the anger I would feel if my load grew to that degree and I felt little support. Even if you find a person who is amazing and you feel an urge to make a child with them, doesn't always make that a good choice either, especially if you don't particularly enjoy a parenting role yourself or love children's company. If you ever choose to have a child, do it for yourself, because it is something you want and not because of another person. If you don't feel it is right for you, with or without the right partner, it probably isn't.
Same for me. I'm 25 and I like the idea of creating a big family in THEORY, but in reality I haven't ever felt the level of trust and love needed to actually wanna create a child with someone, and I definitely don't want to be alone with a kid if I can help it. Plus it would put me in a really tight spot financially, and I just don't want to risk that. Also, I've been single for over 6 years and I vastly prefer that to a relationship, so actually getting that close and loving connection to anyone seems far fetched 😅
Same age as you... Agree with the partner thing. LOVE babies. I feel like if I was in a position financially afford it id be a single mom. I was raised by a single mom, she struggled more than most esp in my country but economics is what made it difficult, economics and ignorance.. I've overcome the ignorance and if I overcome the economics in time I want babies.
Thanks to my ex-hubby showing me what "Single-parenting" means (i. e. he got custody of his child and then didn't want to be a parent and pawned his kid off to me) I found out that I just never wanted to be a mother. I did my best with my step-kid, but it always felt like I was babysitting the Neighbour's kid. After my ex and I split (which had nothing to do with his kid!) I deceided that I don't ever, EVER wanted to have kids! I just don't have the "mother-gene" and I didn't want to be linked to a man for the rest of my life via a child we may would've had together. Now, almost 20 yrs later I'm so glad I never listenend to ppl around me saying I will hear my biological clock ticking by the time I reach the 30s (nope, never heard it) or that I'd HAVE to get pregnant in order to make a guy stay with me (WTF???). If it wasn't for most OB/GYNs in my area being so misogynist and refusing to cut my tubes, I would've done that a long time ago
Me too. Didn't know one year olds knew body parts, but also I work with kids with autism so seeing a one year old doing things my 3 year old clients struggle with is amazing to me
Since a very young age, I've never wanted children...but I am alway excited whenever my friends have kids, because I know they'll be such great parents!
It was an amazing way to straighten myself up and finally grow up at 41 having our child Samuel. I said exactly what Chyna said “let’s not have anymore!” Great video!
you, Chyna, your daughter, your parents, are all absolutely wonderful. I remember back when I first saw you on Beer and Board Games. I immediately went to your channel and loved it. You are so inspirational. I haven't watched for a little while now, but I am about to tear through all your vids I have missed. Love you guys!!!
Man, WheezyWaiter's parents are pretty committed to being in his videos and sticking to their characters! Kinda cool and crazy. Also, I appreciate the more sincere video. Having kids is one of the most important aspects of life, I think, and it's nice to hear your opinions on it :)
I wasnt sure about the new you and your new style, I missed your old ridiculous videos. This video proves how far you've come. I really loved it. It showed how happy you are, and that makes me happy. Thanks for making me happy.
Before my husband and I had kids, I made him spend weeks conversing with me about WHY we were having kids before we did it. haha It's a big deal. I didn't want to do it just because "it's just what you do." The whole "someone to care about me in my old age" is shameful to say out loud, but true! And I like how having children further develops you into the best human you can be. Whether you want to or not, you are going to get thrown in the deep end and are going to HAVE to learn patience, and HAVE to learn that the world doesn't revolve around your needs, etc., etc.
There it is..."further develops you into the best human you can be"... If there was a way to keep the human race existing without 'parenting', I don't think we would last long. The personal character development due to working at being the best parent you can be is inestimable in value.
Plenty of my students’ parents have NOT evolved into the best people that can be. I see it with how they treat their children and how they raise their children. They haven’t learned a damn thing.
@@canterlevi I almost added "if you let it" to my sentence about it developing you. I couldn't agree more! There are few things sadder than watching a parent continue to be selfish at the expense of their children. I taught at an alternative high school, and I also saw a couple cases of that.
So true! You have to constantly become the best version of yourself to continually be a good parent. My husband and I talked a lot about it too, and we didn't make the decision to have a baby until we lost his mom. That's when it occurred to me - at the end, what else matters in life other than the people you love?
Melinda Payne So then the world revolves around your child (so you and the child think) and the world gains nothing because the same old story starts again :)
I’m not a parent but do have 4 godchildren I am very close to. Nothing in the world makes me happier than seeing them genuinely happy. Even at my lowest, seeing them excited to see me makes it a great day and lifts my spirits way up. I can only imagine those feelings are magnified for actual parents.
For the life of me when I weigh the pros and the cons of having kids it just never makes sense. The fact that biology can trick us into putting stress like that into our lives is terrifying 😂
100%. Like sure, those things sound nice, but they don't sound like worth giving up all the time and money etc for. I think biology makes a lot of people happy with their kids once they're born, but I'm still a bit perplexed why so many people choose to have them in the first place
So..... As a proud woman of five children, I completely agree. There is literally no practical reason to have kids these days. But...... I have more than a zillion reasons why I'm so glad I did it for myself and for the crazy family my husband and I have created. Never thought of myself as a psychotic cliche minivan driving mom, but..... Here I am, nailing it like the detestable person I am I guess. 😂 And for reasons that make all the sense in the world and zero sense at the same time, I'm glad I did it.
love your realistic point of view. i never wanted kids and with everyone i talk to i always have the feeling that theyre trying to convince me otherwise. they act like having babies is the best thing in the world and just fun and awesome. i feel like they didnt even truly think about what its like having one. oh and that one argument: youll be remembered after you die. if im not gonna have kids ill have an immense amount of time to make people remember me in other ways. so yeah, i still dont want kids, but your vid was very refreshing :)
Hi Craig, Chyna, and Ada. Just a little FYI from our experience; when we had our son, Duncan, we went to the local Fire Department for assistance/training on how to "properly" install and secure the car seat in a rear facing position and we had the handle in the up position (as I believe most parents do) and were told by the safety officer there that it needed to be down because, in the event of a crash, the handle was supposed to move into the upward position during the crash as some kind of buffer to help absorb the crash forces. I looked online before sending this and came up with the following link csftl.org/infant-car-seats-where-does-the-handle-go/ which says nothing of the sort but does say that handle position is dependent on the specific model of seat you are using. Just wanted to pass this information along. Best wishes.
My nephew is a few months older than Ada but he hadn't got any words yet. He is just learning to walk though. I love seeing stuff through his eyes, stuff I would normally take for granted. Loved this video ☺
I've got 5 children. I ask myself these questions everyday. BTW 2 is the magic number when they are close in age. 1 will drive you nuts, 2 kids will drive each other nuts. 3 or more, you will eventually become a nut (case).
I watch your videos in some mornings before I go to work, (when I’m sick of over-watching friends because it points out the absence of my own... oh boy) and then for the rest of the day I think and speak in your voice. It’s hard to stop. And it’s strange for my clients, who know me for being... well... British, when I start speaking to them in a slightly hyper American accent. I’m incredibly relieved to say that during this time I don’t grow a beard. That’s all I wanted to say. Just that. Oh, and you’re little bundle of squishy is too adorable! “No hands!” What an intelligent baby!
As a step dad turned grandpa I now understand. Watching my grands grow. I have 3, 1/3/5 years old. Watching the journey is amazing. Makes me regret not having children of my own seed though I don’t regret being a step dad. Sadly shortly after my wife and I married she had a medical issue which required her to have a hysterectomy. So I’ll probably never have a child of my seed.
2:22 😂 felt that. I'm a horse mum and my whole life is about my horse 😂 does he have enough to eat? Is his saddle fitting? Is his rug warm enough or too warm? Is he happy? Does he need supplements? Can't imagine if my brain could handle beeing concerned about a child and a horse 😂
Man, seeing your dad reading and putting its Mortal Kombat Genesis booklet in its pocket instantly made him a hero for me. If I can get old exactly like him then I will have succeeded in life.
As a Ginger in the 80's, they told us we were going to be extinct by the year 2000. 30 years later i have a mini-me and therefore have done my part to: A)carry on the namesake and B) Prove the extinction theory of the 80' and 90's was a fear tactic to get us to procreate to help support the baby boomers we NOW can't really afford!
I love being a mom but in truth, I never wanted to be, but it happened and he is the greatest and makes me laugh every day. Now that he is 10 I love it so much more we have such great conversations, the questions he asks sometimes puts really insane stuff into perspective.
Love your parents. We had one child. She’s 30 now. Was a fascinating and lovely experience. Could not justify having any more. So we got vasectomy and a golden retriever instead of more children. Best decision ever. Cheers.
Not convinced. There are so many children in my family and among my friends. And I can see them when I want and when I don't want I say, let's meet up without the kids. And then my friends feel good and relaxed and I don't get pressured into watching their kids. Also, when I die I will leave stuff to my nephews, or to charity. Oh, and I don't see things ending well on this planet for humans in the end. I don't want to add another human being to this mess. But I am proud of the kids I know accomplishing stuff and learning. So I get that.
My wife and I have a 2-year-old. She is both awesome and...well....you know. Like how she fought me (crying, kicking, flopping around) the entire 20 minutes it took me to comb the dreadlock out of her hair (that she managed to get at some point throughout the night) but afterward gave me a hug and said "I love you." The bad stuff is just something you do now and the good stuff is all a bonus.
The whole legacy bit actually opened my eyes a bit. Everything I accomplish in life will be for nothing when I die. So I understand how a kid could help.
@@NavidIsANoob You'll always have an effect on people around you, it doesn't have to be your kid. How well you'll be remembered down the line depends entirely on whether you strive to be the best person you can be in my opinion. Same applies to parenthood, even if they carry your genes or you raise them it doesn't mean they wanna keep you around if you have nothing else to offer.
@@d.g.1915 Ha, it's not about grand materialistic accomplishments mate. It's about the personal experiences you went through, the lessons you picked up, the memories you have made, the human you have become after living on this planet for a while. Any larger than life accomplishments you make are for the betterment of the human race, but they say little of your personal legacy. I can see how having a kid just gives you that extra purpose so many people miss in their lives.
@@d.g.1915 Lol you're looking at it too rationally. You nurture your own child from the ground up, for them, you are their entire world. You project yourself onto them, and learn them everything that has been taught to you, or that which you learnt from experience. You give a part of yourself to your children, which they will always preserve, long after your death. Think about what your parents gave to you, what you've learnt from them, how your entire personality has been shaped around your nurture. THAT is the legacy a parent leaves to their child.
My two girls have changed me to the core. If I saw this video a few years ago, I would cringe at the "look at my cute baby" stuff, but today I really think it is cute. The mustasch trick was aewsome. Great video, guys!
Just give it a few years...and then the vacations resume, the fun of new things with your daughter constantly...yep, the early years are tough, but...in the long run, you will be very happy!
I love kids, I'm itching to have kids but unexplained infertility and fertility treatment is tres expensive. And also I love this line from the movie Eat, Pray, Love - "having a baby is like getting a tattoo on your face, you kind of want to be sure"
Fostering and adoption are not fixes to infertility. It is like putting a bandaid over a gaping wound. I do agree that it is a great option for both children and their adoptive parents when the parents are ready to choose it but It isn’t a helpful suggestion from others cause couples going through infertility already know it is an option and people suggesting it downplays their attempts to get pregnant. Don’t add to the pain that infertility couples are already going through. This isn’t meant to attack any one but I’m tired of people thinking that the pain of infertility isn’t real because you can just adopt someday. Rant over...
@@Cassandra540 I never said it was a fix, just a viable option. I guess for me it is better then bio kids as I find people obsessed with passing on their genes quite selfish (no offence to you) Why go through all the pain and trauma when there are perfect children practically dying to be in a loving home? Not trying to fight but honestly the pain should be minimised for infertility. There are much much worse things one can go the through in regards to reproducing. This will no doubt piss you off but sorry not sorry
Also I'm just trying to spread awareness. People honestly dont think about fostering or adopting. They think it's too hard or they will get a 'defective' child. And I find that to cause much much more pain than simply offering a suggestion. With a heart at the end, no less.
I have found the baby and toddler stage really hard. They're so dependent, need your attention and unreasonable (obviously, they can't talk- or reason). But it's getting better as she gets older, it seems to be going by so fast anyway and when I spend time with her I love the things she comes up with and does. Painting, playing, a smile, kiss, random dance! Yesterday she got sassy with our cat! And I am looking forward to meeting the person she's going to grow in to. My brain just had to answer 'yes' to the question 'shall I have a child' even though another part of my brain was saying 'but it seems like a lot of work.' She also brings so much joy to her grandparents and the rest of our family too. So I'm hanging on in there as it gets easier. Round 2? Uh oh.
I agree with you big time. The infant and toddler stage it's so hard because you can never turn off. I love elementary School stage. That's my personal favorite.
I don't know how it took me until last year to discover you, and then I had a baby and had to rediscover you a few months ago after sleep became a thing in my life again. Anyway, I have high enjoyment of your content and am selfishly glad you embarked on the parenthood journey so your content skews toward my life as a mom of five. Because it's all about me.
I love this video, I became a father 10 months ago today and my wife and I share such similar views and thoughts to you. Even the same views before we had kids too.
i didn’t think i’d ever want kids. i currently still don’t want kids and childbirth is something that scares me to shit. but my boyfriend’s 15 month niece is the best child ever and i am having feelings about children and AAAAAAAAH weird. for now i’ll just love her loads and see where it takes me~
Hey Wheezy family! I'm semi new to your channel...I just gotta tell you how much myself and my wife enjoy your vids! Thank you for putting out great, fun, informative, all around entertaining content. We truly enjoy it-so thanks again!
As someone who has consistently said that they do not want kids, this video has given me some insight into the mentality of parents. Personally, i find kid's cuteness overshadowed by there inherent obnoxious behavior and i do not have the confidence in myself that i think is necessary in the production of a decent human being. But hey, maybe if i find that special someone and i stop being such a pessimistic sack of garbage.... Who knows?
This was hilarious! Love your parents being involved (they're brilliant!), and your references to songs, sayings, programmes........all edited brilliantly. I laughed so much! Thank you. Also......kids are AWESOME! Seeing them learn and grow is such an amazing feeling.
I have been thinking about this a lot recently and have generally come to the same conclusions, that there is no logical reason for it, but there are emotional reasons (which I struggle to understand having not experienced them first hand). Thank you for validating the thoughts I was having, it's nice to know that I'm not missing anything.
My husband and I talk about wanting kids, just not now. We're still pretty young, and I want to hog my husband for another year, or two, and we'll hopefully be financially ready to really be comfortable trying.
"how many of your friends put thier face on soft things?"... I do, I like soft things, I also get very easily distracted by shiny things and... oh, glitter, what was I saying?
'No hands' was incredible, let's face it.
It probably even was the best part of the video
An astonishing and adorable skill
EPIC MOVE
Teaching your kids little tricks like that = definitely the best
My gf and I are currently trying to get our kid to do "NO HANDS!" he's not about that life yet
I LOVE THIS. and "no hands" is incredible
I love you tessa
Tessa, you strike me as someone that likes to touch soft blankets to your face.
"No hands" may be the cutest thing I've seen a baby do.
Tessa Violet Agreed.
A meekakitty comment on a wheezywaiter video is my aesthetic
You forgot to mention that kids grow up and then they can start using skillshare.
Yeah! Or listen to audiobooks. Don't forget about those please!
And eat Wheat Thins
As a non-parent that doesn't plan on ever having kids I enjoyed this video. It was nice to hear some reasons people enjoy being parents outside of "it's just so great!"
Same
SAME
That’s it; it is great. Joy of life 💙
I have never, in my whole life, EVER wanted to have kids. Ever.
I find it weird how you can get your parents to act in videos in the way that they do But I think it’s hilarious
I've met them, it's not an act.
Humor is based on anxieties
As a childless woman (by circumstance and choice), I can’t tell you how much I appreciated this video. Thank you so very much!!! The intro was the best “I’m very glad we had a baby....Kay let’s not have anymore!” I’ve a proud Auntie and Godmother and love every second of it.....and I love handing them back! Your parents are so cool and fun! Your baby is adorable, too. Excellent video!
Yes, your baby saying “eyes” and “no hands” is sincerely and truly amazing!!! They are the MOST FUN EVER!! I love kids! I really do. I just don’t want my own.
ChildFREE? Childless sounds a bit off
Seems you've found good balance! Full time single dad to a toddler here and on one hand it grounds me with purpose and keeps me busy, but on the other I feel trapped and miserable and exhausted 85%+ of the time. I guess some people like kids more than others, and how often do parents hear men offer to babysit? It must be great to do it part-time so you can still pursue an ideal life of your own (your kids or not). Ambition has become this curse that haunts me and won't leave me alone. But while I kindly envy part-time parents, I'm sure many of them envy me and might miss their kids when they're away. I must admit that when I'm lucky enough to have my cousin or aunt babysit for a weekend, I don't miss my daughter one bit. Not even sorry. There's nice moments in parenting my my god it's like an audio equivalent of a Chinese drip torture! I miss my trail of thought and creativity. Oh and fun, I miss that too. And the pub. Don't get me wrong, I couldn't live not knowing where my daughter is or if she's safe, but that doesn't mean I enjoy being a mommy. My masculinity has been replaced with a headache!
@@KnuckleHeadMusicUK keep at it, man! and keep finding that little time for yourself whenever you can find someone to babysit, totally needed and nothing to feel guilty about. Just keep thinking that your daughter will some day be an adult that you will be able to have actual adult conversations with. It is mind blowing. And the pub will still be there then too. 🍻
Grandbabies are even more fun. You get all the cool stuff without any of the responsibility. I couldn't wait for her to learn how to talk, and now that she's been talking for five years I am constantly amazed by her observations.
The best part about grandkids is when they start to annoy you, you get to give them back.
@@firefist8511 See also being an Aunt or Uncle. And you can use that opportunity to get back at your sibling by spoiling the hell out of the kid, and then sending them home when they're all sugared up and cranky. XD
Yaaasssss
I was going to say that about being an uncle!
Huh?
Love the grandparents' POV. Great video, Craig!
"who has a friend that puts their faces on soft stuff?"
Nervous laughter...
Ya , i was like
"Wait.... I do that... am I weird?"
I don't have that friend, I am that friend.
We should get matching jackets for this cool kid club!
As long as there is a soft collar ...
Yup it's me...
It's a secret, but sometimes i touch pancakes with my cheek. Sometimes pancakes are really soft on one side.
When I discussed the matter with my dad the other day he said something similar to what Craig's parents did. He said "back in our day it wasn't really a question of 'if' we would have kids but rather 'when'."
Most of my life I just assumed I wanted kids someday, and then I went through a period in which I felt certain I did NOT want to have kids ever. Now I'm 28 years old and the dratted motherly instinct is kicking in despite all logic and reason.
This video was a comfort to watch, given my current internal struggle on the subject.
Craig’s parents are national treasures!! 🤣
Ya'll just confirmed why I like being an auntie so much. I adore other people's kids. They are funny, they are cute, they learn to do things and you are like "whoa I've never seen you do this before".
But I am a painfully logic-based person and I still can't understand the appeal of doing it myself, lol
We've been married for 10 years and decided in our 20's that we do not want kids. We are both teachers and spend a lot of time with kids, and enjoy them immensely, but have no desire to come home to any. We are also a kickass aunt and uncle combo for the many kids in our life. I won't ever know the other side, but I feel that I get plenty of fulfillment through spending time with other people's kiddos. And their parents appreciate the free babysitting. Win-win.
Are your parents interested in adoption? Or you and Chyna? I'm 28 and toilet trained. You all seem like awesome parents.
28 and toilet trained? You seem advanced for your age.
@@junipersages 😂😂😂
If they were they would need a lot bigger house haha
what a precocious adult
24 and toilet trained. Can recite the English alphabet and recite nursery rhymes before a crowd.
That "no hands" scene was unbearably cute. Great video, Craig!
True
Craig's Mom is going to have a BILLION Tinder dates.
Mortal Kombat manual was glorious.
He didn't mention love. My friends who've had kids said they never felt such immense love before.
Loving the new format of asking questions about topics and looking into them, solid content
Interestingly a classic reason why people liked having kids was not included here: "you like having someone take care of you when you get old" / "it's nice to not die alone" / "this person will feel obligated to take care of me in my old age because I protected them for 18 years".
I guess we all know we're just going to be shuffled off into a retirement home, and ignored most of the time.
Try to become and stay a pleasant company and in your actual mind till the old age, and you're fine. Willing your property to something that is not your family is also a helpful option. But honestly, I think it depends on how you treat your own parents mostly. My grandma lives in her own flat in another city, and mom drives to her weekly or almost weekly, mostly to buy her groceries and have tea together. So I also only imagine buying my own place instead of trying to inherit mom's and definitely will take care of mom, then she will be 80+, while she'll be living at her place.
What? Of course not, I gonna live forever
I could be studying for finals but this is infinitely more important
finals in January??????/
Bill Nog yup. My school does it a bit differently so both semesters are equal
Crimson Ender agreed
I'm half an hour past deadline but I have to watch this first!
Good luck on your finals. We just started back for the spring semester today.
I couldn't stop laughing at the little dopamines/Shia Labeoufs
"no hands" is without question the most adorable thing I have ever seen XD
Watching this while I cradle my 12-week-old daughter. I always knew I wanted to be a mom, and finally being one is a dream come true. Our next step is to hopefully foster and adopt children several years down the line when we have more parenting experience and better finances. Ava is adorable and growing up so quickly!
*Ada, mom brain is real and it’s a struggle!
So why not just adopt in the first place?
Probably because it’s really cool to see what someone who is half you looks like and acts like. It’s okay to want both.
You can use the baby as collateral for a loan, depending on your lender.
I think Satan accepts them
Or, obviously, Rumpelstiltskin. Firstborns only, tough.
@@oreadsbooks Can't afford a downpayment on a house? Have a baby and put it down as collateral, mortgage secured. LifeHackz
Yes I used my child to settle a debt with child sex slave trafficers, I lost my job and couldn't pay the mob back so they took my kid and sold her to human trafficers. Can always make another one
Damn that's dark ^^^
The best part, IMO, is that it only gets better. I liked being a father to a small child, but it was a lot of hard work. Now I have two kids, 11 and 12, and they get more awesome every year. It's amazing.
My parents probably thought they were passing on something (habits, ideologies), but their brood quickly rejected everything at age 18 (and continue to decades later). So that argument is out!
Not really, the older you get the more alike your parents you become. It's just that you reject it when you're 18-ish in order to individualize and create an identity. When you get older you start to see all the traits you hated in your parents; show in your own personality. You didn't really oppose that though, what you said is that the habits and ideologies didn't pass on and that is entirely possible, but their personality traits will surely pass over. And isn't a person's personality more of their essence than opinions and ideologies are anyways?
@@Birchifyed I concur. When I left home I thought "I'm finally independent, I'm going to be nothing like you guys!". 10 years later...While noticing some of my behavior "Wow, my mom used to do this a lot", while saying something "Wow, my dad used to say this a lot". Sure there are plenty of things still very different but a lot is so ingrained that it just comes out to the surface.
As soon as you have kids of your own you'll be exactly who your parents were.
@@acmulhern Big reason to not have kids.
@@Potz4pizza THIS was huge in my "reasons not to" column. I carry alot of my parent's traits and no child deserves that struggle.
Hormones and the being bored and wanting emotional fullfilment in life. Caring and nurturing is a strong feeling for us animals
Ada was like, who are you talking to, dad? 😂
Also your parents are a hoot 😁
Another great video. 👍🏻
So glad they went back to their normal selves by the end lol
Love your parents! They’re HILARIOUS! “Shut up and kiss me!” 🤣 I’m dying.
Idk, that no hands trick was pretty impressive!!
Two of the three most important things in my world are in this video, my daughter and granddaughter. They are the only things that really matter to me when it all comes down to it. The experience of love that deep is the closest I think we can come to transcending the human experience. Everything else pales to that.
I still don’t fully get why people want kids but at least it was a really fun video
@Inner Voice so basically people who want kids are irrational?
@@Lookatmeshine Yes, like they said at the start of the video, if you made a logical and practical decision then you wouldn't have kids
Nicolas H. Stupidity and sex
@Artoria Pendragon well of course - you create a difficult task which you can't postpone and you accomplish it every day, of course, you feel rewarded. But you can also not add that task to your life.
I'm totally that friend who puts her face on everything soft
Man this is fucking awesome! :D Loved the video. Im 30 and my mom would take ANY BABY literally from anyone at this point and I never wanted them because for all the practical reasons, and ive never been one to coo at cute babies. But in all honesty, its the partner thing. I dont mind the idea, but I dont have anyone I want to have a child with, the level of trust and love required to actually want TO CREATE A WHOLE NEW HUMAN together is never been something Ive experienced. And Ive been raised by a single mom and know I dont want to be one.
Im honestly happy to see your baby has such cool parents who actually want to be together for the right reasons.
Also, your parents are amazing in every episode XD
Despite cultural pressure, remind yourself that it totally fine to be Successfully Solo and Child free, I am at 41 and LOVE it. I've also got a friend who, although she loves her 4yr old, regrets being pushed into having him by he Dad (her now ex-husband). So yeah, you do what is right for you!
I was about to comment the same thing. Im almost 30 and it sucks people telling me that I should have a family and house and everything. Ive never wanted to but I like the idea of it. I can move out easily tho. All my friends are the same but they still struggle for work. I dont know why people are in so much rush to have children and then they complain they are struggling to support a family. Its crazy.
I never wanted to have kids or ever found children particularly cute or enticing. I've been with my partner for 12 years now and he is a very good person and I love him so much. I often look at him and feel this (probably just instinctual) desire to have a child with him, BUT I know that practically it would be a bad idea. I know I will grow to resent and even hate my husband if we ever have children, and that would make me miserable. I never want that to happen. As intelligent and kind and attractive as I find my husband, I know he is a bit lazy when it comes to household things. He is used to a different level of mess and dirt than I am, doesn't seem to notice it even, and so doesn't help around in the house much unless I specifically tell him what to do. He is also a heavy as a log sleeper. I know I would end up doing all the work involved with a baby, all the sleepless nights would be mine, and I would grow angry and resentful. I do most of the household work as it is and it bothers me that he has no interest or initiative to do his fair share, but luckily, with it being just us and our cats, I doubt it is close to the amount of work it would be if we had a young child or baby. I imagine the anger I would feel if my load grew to that degree and I felt little support. Even if you find a person who is amazing and you feel an urge to make a child with them, doesn't always make that a good choice either, especially if you don't particularly enjoy a parenting role yourself or love children's company. If you ever choose to have a child, do it for yourself, because it is something you want and not because of another person. If you don't feel it is right for you, with or without the right partner, it probably isn't.
Same for me. I'm 25 and I like the idea of creating a big family in THEORY, but in reality I haven't ever felt the level of trust and love needed to actually wanna create a child with someone, and I definitely don't want to be alone with a kid if I can help it. Plus it would put me in a really tight spot financially, and I just don't want to risk that. Also, I've been single for over 6 years and I vastly prefer that to a relationship, so actually getting that close and loving connection to anyone seems far fetched 😅
Same age as you... Agree with the partner thing. LOVE babies. I feel like if I was in a position financially afford it id be a single mom. I was raised by a single mom, she struggled more than most esp in my country but economics is what made it difficult, economics and ignorance.. I've overcome the ignorance and if I overcome the economics in time I want babies.
Thanks to my ex-hubby showing me what "Single-parenting" means (i. e. he got custody of his child and then didn't want to be a parent and pawned his kid off to me) I found out that I just never wanted to be a mother. I did my best with my step-kid, but it always felt like I was babysitting the Neighbour's kid. After my ex and I split (which had nothing to do with his kid!) I deceided that I don't ever, EVER wanted to have kids! I just don't have the "mother-gene" and I didn't want to be linked to a man for the rest of my life via a child we may would've had together. Now, almost 20 yrs later I'm so glad I never listenend to ppl around me saying I will hear my biological clock ticking by the time I reach the 30s (nope, never heard it) or that I'd HAVE to get pregnant in order to make a guy stay with me (WTF???). If it wasn't for most OB/GYNs in my area being so misogynist and refusing to cut my tubes, I would've done that a long time ago
I gasped in awe when Ada knew where the eyes were!! So smart!! And she is SO CUTE and looks SO MUCH like Craig.
Me too. Didn't know one year olds knew body parts, but also I work with kids with autism so seeing a one year old doing things my 3 year old clients struggle with is amazing to me
The only time my dad ever said he liked having kids was when he was giving me a list of chores needing to be done.
Since a very young age, I've never wanted children...but I am alway excited whenever my friends have kids, because I know they'll be such great parents!
It was an amazing way to straighten myself up and finally grow up at 41 having our child Samuel. I said exactly what Chyna said “let’s not have anymore!” Great video!
Your mom and dad seem like lovely people.
you, Chyna, your daughter, your parents, are all absolutely wonderful. I remember back when I first saw you on Beer and Board Games. I immediately went to your channel and loved it. You are so inspirational. I haven't watched for a little while now, but I am about to tear through all your vids I have missed. Love you guys!!!
I'm never going to have kids but glad you and your kid seem happy. Every kid deserves to be wanted.
Man, WheezyWaiter's parents are pretty committed to being in his videos and sticking to their characters! Kinda cool and crazy. Also, I appreciate the more sincere video. Having kids is one of the most important aspects of life, I think, and it's nice to hear your opinions on it :)
back in the olden days it because they needed a TV remote...
And eventually a caretaker.
😂😂😂😂😂
😂 yes!!
My dad also used us as an adjustable aerial too
This is actually true! I was a human remote as a child! This is my truth.
I wasnt sure about the new you and your new style, I missed your old ridiculous videos.
This video proves how far you've come. I really loved it. It showed how happy you are, and that makes me happy.
Thanks for making me happy.
Before my husband and I had kids, I made him spend weeks conversing with me about WHY we were having kids before we did it. haha It's a big deal. I didn't want to do it just because "it's just what you do." The whole "someone to care about me in my old age" is shameful to say out loud, but true! And I like how having children further develops you into the best human you can be. Whether you want to or not, you are going to get thrown in the deep end and are going to HAVE to learn patience, and HAVE to learn that the world doesn't revolve around your needs, etc., etc.
There it is..."further develops you into the best human you can be"... If there was a way to keep the human race existing without 'parenting', I don't think we would last long. The personal character development due to working at being the best parent you can be is inestimable in value.
Plenty of my students’ parents have NOT evolved into the best people that can be. I see it with how they treat their children and how they raise their children. They haven’t learned a damn thing.
@@canterlevi I almost added "if you let it" to my sentence about it developing you. I couldn't agree more! There are few things sadder than watching a parent continue to be selfish at the expense of their children. I taught at an alternative high school, and I also saw a couple cases of that.
So true! You have to constantly become the best version of yourself to continually be a good parent. My husband and I talked a lot about it too, and we didn't make the decision to have a baby until we lost his mom. That's when it occurred to me - at the end, what else matters in life other than the people you love?
Melinda Payne So then the world revolves around your child (so you and the child think) and the world gains nothing because the same old story starts again :)
I’m not a parent but do have 4 godchildren I am very close to. Nothing in the world makes me happier than seeing them genuinely happy. Even at my lowest, seeing them excited to see me makes it a great day and lifts my spirits way up. I can only imagine those feelings are magnified for actual parents.
Also, love. Forming a bond. Underrated.
Yes I would put this in my top reasons tbh. Same thing with pets
Although I don't have and never will have kids, I enjoy these videos. All of them. Seriously, you guys make my day better, and I appreciate you.
For the life of me when I weigh the pros and the cons of having kids it just never makes sense. The fact that biology can trick us into putting stress like that into our lives is terrifying 😂
I can't explain it either, I don't want kids, but then again, I wouldn't be here if someone else didn't decide to have me.
Sooo true lolol
100%. Like sure, those things sound nice, but they don't sound like worth giving up all the time and money etc for. I think biology makes a lot of people happy with their kids once they're born, but I'm still a bit perplexed why so many people choose to have them in the first place
So..... As a proud woman of five children, I completely agree. There is literally no practical reason to have kids these days. But...... I have more than a zillion reasons why I'm so glad I did it for myself and for the crazy family my husband and I have created. Never thought of myself as a psychotic cliche minivan driving mom, but..... Here I am, nailing it like the detestable person I am I guess. 😂 And for reasons that make all the sense in the world and zero sense at the same time, I'm glad I did it.
Honestly, this might be my favourite of your videos ever. All three generations featured are so entertaining and engaging in their own ways. ^^
love your realistic point of view. i never wanted kids and with everyone i talk to i always have the feeling that theyre trying to convince me otherwise. they act like having babies is the best thing in the world and just fun and awesome. i feel like they didnt even truly think about what its like having one. oh and that one argument: youll be remembered after you die. if im not gonna have kids ill have an immense amount of time to make people remember me in other ways. so yeah, i still dont want kids, but your vid was very refreshing :)
Hi Craig, Chyna, and Ada. Just a little FYI from our experience; when we had our son, Duncan, we went to the local Fire Department for assistance/training on how to "properly" install and secure the car seat in a rear facing position and we had the handle in the up position (as I believe most parents do) and were told by the safety officer there that it needed to be down because, in the event of a crash, the handle was supposed to move into the upward position during the crash as some kind of buffer to help absorb the crash forces. I looked online before sending this and came up with the following link csftl.org/infant-car-seats-where-does-the-handle-go/ which says nothing of the sort but does say that handle position is dependent on the specific model of seat you are using. Just wanted to pass this information along. Best wishes.
I am not sure if I would like being a parent, but I like your parents! 😁
My nephew is a few months older than Ada but he hadn't got any words yet. He is just learning to walk though. I love seeing stuff through his eyes, stuff I would normally take for granted. Loved this video ☺
I've got 5 children. I ask myself these questions everyday.
BTW 2 is the magic number when they are close in age.
1 will drive you nuts, 2 kids will drive each other nuts.
3 or more, you will eventually become a nut (case).
Why do you have five then?
I watch your videos in some mornings before I go to work, (when I’m sick of over-watching friends because it points out the absence of my own... oh boy) and then for the rest of the day I think and speak in your voice. It’s hard to stop. And it’s strange for my clients, who know me for being... well... British, when I start speaking to them in a slightly hyper American accent. I’m incredibly relieved to say that during this time I don’t grow a beard.
That’s all I wanted to say. Just that.
Oh, and you’re little bundle of squishy is too adorable! “No hands!” What an intelligent baby!
This video is incredible. You keep doing you Craig. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It’s crazy to me how many people don’t think through the “should I have a kid” stuff before “bouncy castle stuff”
Your parents are the best and need to be seen more of...oh, and the baby and wife are nice, too.
As a step dad turned grandpa I now understand. Watching my grands grow. I have 3, 1/3/5 years old. Watching the journey is amazing. Makes me regret not having children of my own seed though I don’t regret being a step dad. Sadly shortly after my wife and I married she had a medical issue which required her to have a hysterectomy. So I’ll probably never have a child of my seed.
2:22 😂 felt that. I'm a horse mum and my whole life is about my horse 😂 does he have enough to eat? Is his saddle fitting? Is his rug warm enough or too warm? Is he happy? Does he need supplements?
Can't imagine if my brain could handle beeing concerned about a child and a horse 😂
Man, seeing your dad reading and putting its Mortal Kombat Genesis booklet in its pocket instantly made him a hero for me. If I can get old exactly like him then I will have succeeded in life.
As a Ginger in the 80's, they told us we were going to be extinct by the year 2000. 30 years later i have a mini-me and therefore have done my part to: A)carry on the namesake and B) Prove the extinction theory of the 80' and 90's was a fear tactic to get us to procreate to help support the baby boomers we NOW can't really afford!
Fuck the baby boomers
fuck having children
Just stumbled on to your page today and man is it awesome! You have yourself a new subscriber! You guys are great!
There's already a Black Mirror episode on seeing what your kids see through an app. It ended so well for the mom.
10 mins of fantastic entertainment! Just discovered you, very pleased I did. Your parents are so funny.
I've just realised... Craig can now sing the Father's Day song to HIMSELF
I love being a mom but in truth, I never wanted to be, but it happened and he is the greatest and makes me laugh every day. Now that he is 10 I love it so much more we have such great conversations, the questions he asks sometimes puts really insane stuff into perspective.
Love your parents. We had one child. She’s 30 now. Was a fascinating and lovely experience. Could not justify having any more. So we got vasectomy and a golden retriever instead of more children. Best decision ever. Cheers.
Kids are a delight.( especially when raised properly) The innocence, adventurous and joy of childhood. Kids are easy to connect with. Kids Rule!!!
Not convinced. There are so many children in my family and among my friends. And I can see them when I want and when I don't want I say, let's meet up without the kids. And then my friends feel good and relaxed and I don't get pressured into watching their kids. Also, when I die I will leave stuff to my nephews, or to charity. Oh, and I don't see things ending well on this planet for humans in the end. I don't want to add another human being to this mess. But I am proud of the kids I know accomplishing stuff and learning. So I get that.
My wife and I have a 2-year-old. She is both awesome and...well....you know. Like how she fought me (crying, kicking, flopping around) the entire 20 minutes it took me to comb the dreadlock out of her hair (that she managed to get at some point throughout the night) but afterward gave me a hug and said "I love you." The bad stuff is just something you do now and the good stuff is all a bonus.
still don't get it but you seem happy
Same.
The whole legacy bit actually opened my eyes a bit. Everything I accomplish in life will be for nothing when I die. So I understand how a kid could help.
@@NavidIsANoob You'll always have an effect on people around you, it doesn't have to be your kid. How well you'll be remembered down the line depends entirely on whether you strive to be the best person you can be in my opinion. Same applies to parenthood, even if they carry your genes or you raise them it doesn't mean they wanna keep you around if you have nothing else to offer.
@@d.g.1915 Ha, it's not about grand materialistic accomplishments mate. It's about the personal experiences you went through, the lessons you picked up, the memories you have made, the human you have become after living on this planet for a while. Any larger than life accomplishments you make are for the betterment of the human race, but they say little of your personal legacy. I can see how having a kid just gives you that extra purpose so many people miss in their lives.
@@d.g.1915 Lol you're looking at it too rationally. You nurture your own child from the ground up, for them, you are their entire world. You project yourself onto them, and learn them everything that has been taught to you, or that which you learnt from experience. You give a part of yourself to your children, which they will always preserve, long after your death. Think about what your parents gave to you, what you've learnt from them, how your entire personality has been shaped around your nurture. THAT is the legacy a parent leaves to their child.
My two girls have changed me to the core. If I saw this video a few years ago, I would cringe at the "look at my cute baby" stuff, but today I really think it is cute. The mustasch trick was aewsome. Great video, guys!
Just give it a few years...and then the vacations resume, the fun of new things with your daughter constantly...yep, the early years are tough, but...in the long run, you will be very happy!
Ada doing “no hands!” Was the most incredible thing I’ve seen all week, not gonna lie.
I love kids, I'm itching to have kids but unexplained infertility and fertility treatment is tres expensive.
And also I love this line from the movie Eat, Pray, Love - "having a baby is like getting a tattoo on your face, you kind of want to be sure"
Have you thought about fostering or adopting children? You would save money on fertility treatment and also give someone a wonderful home
Fostering and adoption are not fixes to infertility. It is like putting a bandaid over a gaping wound.
I do agree that it is a great option for both children and their adoptive parents when the parents are ready to choose it but It isn’t a helpful suggestion from others cause couples going through infertility already know it is an option and people suggesting it downplays their attempts to get pregnant.
Don’t add to the pain that infertility couples are already going through.
This isn’t meant to attack any one but I’m tired of people thinking that the pain of infertility isn’t real because you can just adopt someday.
Rant over...
@@Cassandra540 I never said it was a fix, just a viable option.
I guess for me it is better then bio kids as I find people obsessed with passing on their genes quite selfish (no offence to you)
Why go through all the pain and trauma when there are perfect children practically dying to be in a loving home?
Not trying to fight but honestly the pain should be minimised for infertility. There are much much worse things one can go the through in regards to reproducing.
This will no doubt piss you off but sorry not sorry
Also I'm just trying to spread awareness. People honestly dont think about fostering or adopting. They think it's too hard or they will get a 'defective' child.
And I find that to cause much much more pain than simply offering a suggestion. With a heart at the end, no less.
@@MrCynthis I honestly think some people want the pregnancy more than they want to be a mother.
My favorite part was the dad reading the Mortal Kombat manual. 2nd favorite was Highlander being mentioned.
I have found the baby and toddler stage really hard. They're so dependent, need your attention and unreasonable (obviously, they can't talk- or reason). But it's getting better as she gets older, it seems to be going by so fast anyway and when I spend time with her I love the things she comes up with and does. Painting, playing, a smile, kiss, random dance! Yesterday she got sassy with our cat! And I am looking forward to meeting the person she's going to grow in to. My brain just had to answer 'yes' to the question 'shall I have a child' even though another part of my brain was saying 'but it seems like a lot of work.' She also brings so much joy to her grandparents and the rest of our family too. So I'm hanging on in there as it gets easier. Round 2? Uh oh.
I agree with you big time. The infant and toddler stage it's so hard because you can never turn off. I love elementary School stage. That's my personal favorite.
I'm obsessed with your videos. Just discovered them and am binging haha
I don't know how it took me until last year to discover you, and then I had a baby and had to rediscover you a few months ago after sleep became a thing in my life again. Anyway, I have high enjoyment of your content and am selfishly glad you embarked on the parenthood journey so your content skews toward my life as a mom of five. Because it's all about me.
I love this video, I became a father 10 months ago today and my wife and I share such similar views and thoughts to you. Even the same views before we had kids too.
i didn’t think i’d ever want kids. i currently still don’t want kids and childbirth is something that scares me to shit. but my boyfriend’s 15 month niece is the best child ever and i am having feelings about children and AAAAAAAAH weird. for now i’ll just love her loads and see where it takes me~
There's many people who dont have any and you shouldnt feel pressured.
Hey Wheezy family! I'm semi new to your channel...I just gotta tell you how much myself and my wife enjoy your vids! Thank you for putting out great, fun, informative, all around entertaining content. We truly enjoy it-so thanks again!
Ada, no hands, no hands...YAY!!! omg, lol, that was hilarious!
Craig who...what do ya wanna do today, shut up and kiss me. Comedy gold.
I was having a bad day and watching your video when i got home just made me so much happier. You guys are hilarious and i love your style.
As someone who has consistently said that they do not want kids, this video has given me some insight into the mentality of parents. Personally, i find kid's cuteness overshadowed by there inherent obnoxious behavior and i do not have the confidence in myself that i think is necessary in the production of a decent human being. But hey, maybe if i find that special someone and i stop being such a pessimistic sack of garbage.... Who knows?
"pessimistic sack of garbage" that hit home
This was hilarious! Love your parents being involved (they're brilliant!), and your references to songs, sayings, programmes........all edited brilliantly. I laughed so much! Thank you.
Also......kids are AWESOME! Seeing them learn and grow is such an amazing feeling.
Came for the jokes, stayed for the Highlander references.
I have been thinking about this a lot recently and have generally come to the same conclusions, that there is no logical reason for it, but there are emotional reasons (which I struggle to understand having not experienced them first hand). Thank you for validating the thoughts I was having, it's nice to know that I'm not missing anything.
If I had a dollar for everyone who told me to have kids even if I don't want kids, I could like, buy myself a sushi dinner or something.
Craig, your parents are hilarious. Thanks for making them a regular part of your videos.
My husband and I talk about wanting kids, just not now. We're still pretty young, and I want to hog my husband for another year, or two, and we'll hopefully be financially ready to really be comfortable trying.
Whoa where have you been? Love this channel
3 months and counting for ours... I'll be rewatching this video then. No hands!!
We are so flipping excited for you all!!
Actually get so excited when you've uploaded, never disappoints!! Also your lil babie is so cuuute
"how many of your friends put thier face on soft things?"... I do, I like soft things, I also get very easily distracted by shiny things and... oh, glitter, what was I saying?
One of your best videos yet, Craig
