If someone does not want kids, they shouldn't have them. Children should be wanted and cared for and loved.

Owning dogs has shown me that children are not for me. The shaming people do needs to stop. To each their own.

I strongly believe that neither people who want children nor people who don’t want children owe anybody an explanation. Want kids? Good. Don’t want kids? Good. Period.

I firmly beleive if someone is hating you for choosing not to have children it's because they chose to have children and now they are secretly regretting it.

Saying “please don’t procreate” to an openly childfree person is giving Princess Bride “that word… I do not think you know what it means”

I have mad respect for people who do not want kids and take the appropriate measures to not have kids. There are so many unwanted kids with parents who don’t deserve them. I think not having kids if you don’t want them is incredibly responsible.

These sentiments upset me so much. A lot of us are born unable to have children and give up after long, painful, exhausting and expensive fertility battles. Were we born without purpose? Should we un-alive ourselves as well? How utterly short sighted. Some people need to get over themselves!

I'm a childcare worker and it's my absolute dream job. Also, I'm child-free by choice. Blows people's minds... 😂

it's wild to me that people care so much about other people's choices, like y'all just need to mind your business and let people live lmao

I need to add a personal anecdote. I used to work with this woman in her late 50s who several times expressed how her only wish in life was to have kids. A colleague brought her bb to work once and that's literally all she talked about. She can't have children, so her life as a woman is thus incomplete. Nevermind the supposedly happy marriage, good career, health, friends and family. At one point I just had enough of it so i asked her if she ever considered adoption or foster care? She told me no because it wouldn't be the same. You dont want a child then, you just want to pass on your dna!

I never asked to be born, I'm not going to make someone else be born. I'll take care of my rescued dogs who also didn't ask to be born. The world is harsh.

Some parents need to be more honest about what it means to have a child. They tend to paint this perfect picture of parenthood, actively encourage others to procreate and act surprised/disappointed when someone choses to be child free. These are the same parents who purposely don't tell you the very real pregnancy/birthing horror stories and risks or the regret they feel when their children turn into little chaos demons.

5:33 - "let's farm some children" My husband is one of 10 children. I'm convinced farming children is a real thing.

Nearly 34 and have never wanted my own kids. People telling me, "oh you'll change your mind eventually" or asking "are you SURE you don't want kids?" is so old and irritating.

As a child owning person… I openly congratulate anyone who has made the choice to not have any. I’m so proud of anyone who has made that choice and doesn’t feel pressured to make more humans when they truly don’t want to! ❤

As someone with literal insane parents, I believe that there are plenty of people on this planet who have no business having children lmao. Also, the same people who say “who is going to take care of you when you’re old?” Are the same parents whose adult children don’t call them because they were insufferable parental figures. LAWD have MERCY 💀

I'm 40 and have never wanted my own children. I have 3 cats, 5 dogs, 6 chickens and a turkey. I've always had the thought that if I ever want a child, I'll adopt from a foster home.

35 yes old, married , childfree, 3 dogs. I LOVE MY LIFE.

My Oma once said I was cruel for not giving my mother grandchildren. I told her she raised me to make my own decisions on what’s right for me. My mom used to love the thought of grandkids and now she says she doesn’t have the energy for them.

“I could just lay in a room of puppies and pass away…A dream.” Same Robert, same. I would think I was already dead and in heaven ❤🐶🐾

Parent here. There are places where it is just common sense to not take your child. Like a bar or a midnight horror movie show. The fact they allow dogs instead of kids shouldn't really be that strange. I don't take my daughter to a dog park for example. I usually take my child where I know other children will be so she can socialize. Being a parent is also knowing your life will change and some activities will be put on hold, like going out at night to have drinks or watching certain types of films in the living room. And that's fine. I want to enjoy this time when she's a child, because one day she will grow up and I know I will miss these days.

I have two dogs, two cats, two children, and a husband and I can tell you any child free place isn't just for people who choose not to have kids but also for parents who need some time away from their children. I'm all for child free places.

As a 40 year old Millenial I just want to say THANK YOU for articulating something I've had to justify the majority of my adult life. I am a cis-gendered woman and if I had a nickle for every time I was flat out told by mean spirited people that I did not have a purpose because I know I don't want kids I'd have even more disposable income. 😂 ❤ you!

I work in assisted living and have had quite a few residents who were child free, either by choice or by circumstance. Many of them have rich social lives, going out with friends, visiting with nieces, nephews, or children of friends that come to visit, and doing volunteer work. I've also had quite a few residents who spend much of their time alone because their children live across the country and aren't able to visit often, or have kids who don't visit either because they've basically gone no contact with their parents or because their kids are just a-holes who don't care. When people say that they don't want to have kids, believe them! Maybe they would have been great parents, or maybe they would have been terrible parents, and maybe it's best we never find out!😅

What I've come to understand is that people who get mad that other people for not wanting kids, have no real sense of self. Those people tend to have decided their children are their only cause to exist and either envy or inexplicably hate anyone who has found contentment in other milestones. Plus there are too many children in awful environments due to being born to parents who didn't have them by choice or otherwise were ill-equipped. I think people who chose to be parents don't fully consider that as an issue caused by forced parenthood.

I'm a gen z (2002) and I've always disliked children. Now, I have a womb and apparently other people know more about me than I know about myself. I've always heard "you'll change your mind when your older!" or sometimes even "I was just like you when I was your age, but I changed my mind!" BS. The truth is, the older I'm getting, the more I don't want kids. I took care of my 8 years old cousin for 3 days and I've never been so miserable. I have a sever case of tokophobia (excessive fear of pregnancy and childbirth) and if I get pregnant, there is a high chance that I'll do unspeakable things to myself. Plus, I have sever body image issues, and the thought of not looking the same anymore gives me severe anxiety. I have anger management issues and lose my temper quickly (fortunately it's not as bad as it was before). On the other hand, partners can be unsupportive too, they may unload most , if not all the responsibility to me. There is another problem that society sees us as nothing but a vessel to pop out babies and nothing more. I worked hard for who I am and my status in society and if I become a mom, I feel like all my identity will be stripped away from me and I'll be boiled down to just a mom, not a scientist AND a mom, as if all the other things I've done doesn't matter anymore, as if my hobbies doesn't matter. The point is, people need to mind their own business. If someone decides to be childfree, they have a valid reason for it. Parenthood is not for everyone.

This is my local! The Red Lion in St Albans. Can confirm that it's a fantastic cosy pub with the loveliest staff who adore dogs and I love it. I can't believe the reaction the sign has gotten! I've always thought it's brilliant and bold, personally I enjoy going to a child-free pub with gorgeous dogs everywhere. Support the Red Lion ❤

I am childfree and I like kids, as long as I can give them back. My issue with parents and kids in public is when kids are acting out of pocket (screaming, running around, making messes, etc) and the parents don't do anything. Some parents get into a retail establishment and think its free range kid time, expecting store employees to babysit. I worked in a store that had a small selection of toys and parents would bring in their kids and drop them off in that area and just wander off to shop. Once upon a time I worked in a gamestop for a christmas season and it was super common for parents to drop their kids off like the store was a daycare. That's my issue with parents, a lot of them just don't parent.

As a mom of three boys, i 100% APPROVE this message. Shii, theres PLENTY of times that even i want to have a nice little dinner date without having any children around me. 😅 Does that mean i dont love my boys? Absolutely not.. but we're all humans and should be able to live the lives we choose, without judgemt. People who are mad about a child free establishment are morons, and truly need to grow tf up. Period 💜

As a mom of 3 wonderful beautiful children I FULLY support child free places. On the few and far between occasions where my husband and I get a break for a date night it would be great to go some place with only adults. I love kids in general always have but they can loud, crazy, and exhausting. So there is absolutely nothing wrong with not wanting that in your establishment. Feel the same about child free weddings. The kid doesn't wanna be there anyway. They wanna be home watching other kids open toys on youtube.

I’m a boomer. Widowed 3 X, and childless. My own parents were wonderful, I just didn’t long to be one. Now, as matriarch of my family, being the favorite Auntie of all my nieces & nephews is enough. No one needs to take care of Auntie Mahem. She brings the fun. 😊❤ I agree with everything Robert said. Let everyone go to hell the way they want to.

I'm a mother of 3 and I would love to get away from my kids and others kids sometimes to have a drink or food in peace and quiet. That place seems like a godsend, honestly.

Yassssss! I get asked a lot why we don't have kids, but I don't get why it's so confusing that I just don't want kids!!

Child owning💀💀💀💀

I’m 27, a full-time nanny, and I love kids. I think the greatest joy in the whole world is being loved by a child. I can’t wait to raise my own. HOWEVER- I know too many adults whose parents shouldn’t have been parents. We should all take advantage of the absolute luxury it is in the developed world to make the choice. I admire people for choosing NOT to have kids because they are not sure whether they want them. And hey, we can have a whole separate discussion on discipline and appropriate behavior in public, but you are not entitled to live your whole life without children. You’re part of this society and have to tolerate people you don’t like, just the same as being around other people’s kids. More child-free spaces? Dude, it’s a privilege to have any adult spaces at all, and SO MANY at that.

It’s so weird to me when people with child-aged offspring say they look forward to their children making them into grandparents. You’re having kids to have grandkids? Work harder at not messing up the kids you currently have instead of pining after hypothetical grandchildren.

I am 55. I had 1 child. I have raised several rescue dogs. I did buy a home. I bought a home because when my husband retires, we won't be able to afford expensive rent. I think people should do what's best for them. I don't judge anyones choices. Do you.

There are so many parents who should not have kids. When someone doesn’t want kids, I firmly believer that they are doing what is best for them. I’m a single mom of two teens and have been a single mom for 14 years and always had pets. It is challenging. We have to do what is best for us and accept others for doing what is best for them

The eye-contact whilst sipping, " I hope you're regular" was STARTLING! 😂😂😂

I have children, I have grandchildren, I also have 2 dogs. All of these things bring ME unspeakable joy!!! I often wonder if the people trying to shame others onto their “team” are really happy with their own life choices or are they making a desperate attempt to convince themselves that they are truly happy? I say do WHATEVER makes YOU happy. 😊

It's weird to have a strong opinion about SOMEONE ELSE'S life either way. I don't want kids and my friends don't care. My friends have/want kids and that's great!

Telling someone to off themselves because they don't wanna have children is completely INSANE. Like. Ma'am. Or Sir. I don't wanna have children so there's no risk of me passing my awful mental disorders to my kid or they'll be the ones offing themselves before turning 20 thank you very much 😭

Everything you said in this video is like you took the words right out of my head. It's uncomfortable the lack of self-awareness parents can have about trying to force their own misery on other people. Like oh, well, I caved into the societal pressure of MarriedHaveKids because I didn't have the autonomy to realize i didn't have to do that, and because I just blindly said yes so must you. If I had a nickel for every time a parent bitched and cried about having to raise a kid, then turned around and tell me I should have one, I'd have a significant amount of money but still not a fraction of what it costs to raise a kid.

My friend got sterilised at age 21 because she was determined she never wanted children. She is now 55 and has never once regretted her decision. People should concentrate more on their own lives and less on what others are doing.

Im 60. I'd like all of us to do our part to brack these old-fashioned ideals please!! We all get to do whatever the hell we want to do

As someone who wants children but currently not in a position to have any and may never be able to, it’s very upsetting to hear that my only purpose in life is to have children…

As someone who has worked with aged care, people really really don’t understand how many elderly people spend their last years alone and die alone, lucky if their family visits a few times a year or at all. Having kids is not guarantee your twilight years will be full of family and love.

It is so wild that some people were coming after the dude but it didn’t seem like many people stopped to consider he didn’t make that sign

I am 42 and don’t have kids. Ive known for much of my life that was something that was just never for me. I also work in child protective services. When some find out I don’t have kids, they get all freaked out and confused. Bottom line-I do love kids and protect them for a living, even putting myself in dangerous situations just to protect them. I just chose to have a life (my life, not yours) where it never felt right for me. Thank you for bringing this up Robert. Been frustrating for much of my life (especially 20s and 30s) getting scoffed at like I was scum of the earth or asked what was wrong with me for choosing not to have kids. I respect those that choose to and respect those who choose not to.

"I don't like broccoli I'd better end it all" 💀😂🥦

People who want kids didn't have to take care of their siblings instead of having a normal childhood. Either way, live and let live.

I love kids. I’m a professional nanny for over 14 years and raised many kiddos since birth. I have a 4 year old step son I’ve been in his life since he was 2. I really want children of my own but it’s been a struggle for us. That’s ME I also totally understand and respect the child free community! I get it! I also believe not everyone should be parents. If someone has a lot of trauma or just doesn’t feel like they would be a good parent chooses to not have a child I fully respect that instead of having a child because people tell them they have to have children.

I never wanted kids for as long as I can remember, very simple to understand

I'm 27f. Husband and I both got sick and ARE SICK of having the conversations and feeling like we have to explain why we dont want children, like.....my husband and I both just....dont. No malice, just a decision. People AND "FAMILY" absolutely assume the "typical" reasons. Now? We use malicious compliance to highlight the other possible side: how some women are UNABLE to for various health reasons, by spinning a medical condition I don't have and watch how fast the rude and intrusive people back-track and start the "Ohh I'm sorry for asking, please forgive me" You should be sorry. And we don't. Screw you. Like, some people without kids, MAY want them but can't HAVE them, yet people forget that possibility. Lol of course the ONLY reason people don't have kids is cuz they just hate them. 🙄 Imagine walking up to strangers and assuming you know their business. Now you're getting cursed out and blasted for not minding your own, congratulations 😂😂 Absolutely love you and James!!! 💜🖤💜🖤

Got head lice from a child in a pub once. Never got fleas from a dog in a pub.

“I hope you’re regular”. “ Do you know how much human skin is flying around?” DYING!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 💜💜💜💜💜 This is pure comedy gold…..

I’ll say this: children and dogs are very similar in that they’re the reflection of who raised them and how they were raised. Some are very well behaved, some are absolute terrors. Whose fault is it?? The parents.

They can go literally anywhere else 😂. I worked with two people who were talking one day about how sad it was that our older clients with complex mental illnesses, didn’t have children. ‘They don’t have anyone to take care of them’. ‘Having children is my greatest achievement’. I wanted to turn around & say ‘do you not think surviving a complex mental illness their whole life is not equally, if not more of an achievement?’. I also always think that people who believe they are entitled to their kids taking care of them when they’re old, are the same people who’s kids will not want to take care of them when they’re old 😅. A lot of kids are great as individuals, the same as adults. I’m not having kids because I know that I am not healed enough to not pass on my generational trauma 🤷🏻‍♀️. Not having kids can very much be the responsible choice. If we cannot raise them right for whatever reason, it’s better to not have them.

Im a parent who was previously childfree, and let me tell you..one of the top reasons people dont want to have kids is OTHER PARENTS!

It's up to the individual! As a childless person, asking someone why they don't have kids is NOT OK. Some people women aren't ABLE to have kids for a myriad of reasons. It can be a hurtful question, and it's NOT YOUR BUSINESS. Let people live. 🙄

Gen Z is still soooo young. Why are we pressuring people to have babies IN THEIR 20'S???? like girl let me get through Uni at least 😩

Being called out whether or not you are a parent is ridiculous. As a boomer from forward thinking families, parenting is a choice. Each generation tries to parent better than the last; be it waiting longer, career choices., improving life/financial, etc. There have always been childless people. There is nothing wrong with these choices. It is personaĺ, it is private and it can change. To each, his own. Myob. Have a lovely day. 😊

I think it's also important to note the fact that some parents struggle with infertility. And with time, perhaps they will eventually grow to accept that they may not be able to have children of their own. Because this is an extremely sensitive topic, most would simply prefer sharing about being happy child-free, rather than having to explain over-and-over again about why they don't have children. And if they already say they are happy, no one should ever doubt that they can feel happy while being childless. In summary, people should just mind their own damn business!

This is crazy to me. I have wanted kids since i was 17. My best friend was NEVER fond of kids or babies. We have been best friends since SHE was 17 and i was 18. It has been 11 years strong now❤❤ Never would judge her and she would never judge me.🥰 We uplift and encourage each other's lifestyles.

The problem isnt whether or not ppl want or dont want children. Its when people make that their whole personality. Just because something works for you doesn't mean it works for everyone else

As a 39 year old married woman that wishes to remain child-free by choice....I honestly think all the hate comes from parents that are secretly jealous of child-free people and so they double down on put downs to justify their decision in their own mind. Most of my friends have children, and I don't give them a hard time at all. But I also don't want to have to be around the children if I can help it 😂

As someone who’s worked with shelter dogs before and has worked with sick children the last ten years I have pretty strong opinions on this. Firstly I just have to put out there that not all people should have either dogs or children, there are neglected children and dogs everywhere. I have never wanted children of my own, mostly because I’ve struggled with my mental health my whole life and sometimes I can barely take care of myself, to bring a child into the world when I barley manage myself would be incredibly selfish of me. We have to remember that no child has asked to be born, and if we bring a child into the world we have to be sure that we are doing absolutely anything in our power to keep that child safe, happy and healthy. Your child doesn’t owe you anything and if you don’t treat them right they have the right to decide to not have you in their life. Just because I don’t want kids of my own doesn’t make me hate them. I work with kids, and I see kids fight for their life everyday and they are incredible. I also have a niece that I would drop absolutely everything for in a second. But sometimes I don’t really feel like being around kids. About dogs on the other hand, I feel similar. If you can’t take care of that dog, you should not own one. I’ve seen dogs thrown onto the street, dogs that had the chip cut out of them so that the owner won’t be found and so on. It’s heartbreaking. I feel strongly that if you know that you are not able to take care of a child or a dog (or any life that you bring into your life) you should absolutely not bring a living, feeling and dependent creature into your life. It’s more important to make the world a better and safer place for the ones that already exist.

I have so much to say!!! (1) It's so funny to me that parents feel that there should be places exclusive for families and family friendly entertainment but when adult only places exist... they lose their minds. The response to this Tweet reminds me of the girl that tweeted there should be adult exclusive flights offered by airlines for people who want to travel childfree and parents lost their minds as if people having access to things exclusively for them meant they would lose access to things that have always been available to them. (2) Children do not give your life purpose. If you only have purpose after having children then you never had purpose in the first place. Your children will go on to live their own lives meaning the season where you are an "active" parent (I know parents are always parents BUT your kids won't always needs you and they will figure out things for themselves and build their own lives outside of you) will end and what then? Do you return to being an aimless purposeless being? Find purpose in yourself, not others. It's also weird that I most often see men and women alike project this narrative on women specifically but you (for the most part/ speaking from a heteronormative position) need a man and woman to procreate so why aren't these opinions ever levied against men? (3) Outside of a lot of millennials have difficult childhoods themselves -- a lot of us have seen our parents identity and value become entangled in our existence. Meaning most of us could never exist as who we were and what we wanted to be because our parents were living through us. Every thing they never had, every opportunity they did not receive -- when we chose different, when we desired something else, we were made to feel guilty and ungrateful and so many us of are fearful that is now engrained in our DNA and we'll become parents like our own which is the worst. Or even worse than that, we could become contrarians who are so obsessed with not being like our parents that we end of making our own children worse off by being the complete opposite (i.e. like people with authoritarian parents often times become passive parents). (4) Millennials in a LOT of ways are more irresponsible but in other ways are more responsible. Rather than having kids we can't afford in an unsafe and vile world where we guilt them (much like our parents guilted us - sacrifices, lost dreams, forgotten ambitions and such), we're doing the smart, responsible and honorable thing of NOT HAVING F**K*N KIDS! (5) Everyone needs to mind their damn business and let people exist the way the choose (but definitely not p*d*s, r**ists and ab**ers -- they should be shunned and all burn in the depths of hell., respectfully).

Childless at 53. Zero regrets.

Thank you so much for talking about this! I feel like more people need too!

I always knew I wasn’t going to have children. The stigma about women who choose this is real- especially in South Carolina, US. Robert, you are always eloquent in your reaction vids and I love your perspective ❤

Gen X checking in. Happy for ppl with kids but no kids here, never wanted them.

I'm so glad that I'm 50 and no one bugs me anymore about having kids. I've heard so many of those arguments/insults. Some to my face. Some from strangers 🙄

I loved this. And adored your laugh after saying ‘people aren’t depressed because they don’t have children’. Yes! Obviously it’s different for those who wanted to and can’t… but for those who are happily childfree, it’s part of our happiness ❤

If people don’t want to raise children and choose not to have them, BRAVO! Choosing to not do something because it’s “expected” shouldn’t be put down. I have four children and there are days I question my sanity, but it’s rewarding to see them turn into loving, open-minded individuals.

I can definitely understand both sides. Of both the kids and dogs arguments. Life is freaking hard man. Just let people live and find what brings them happiness.

I don't think that empathy is as much of a thing as it used to be if it ever used to be.

I have a child and a grandchild. Love them, adore them, wouldn’t trade having them for anything that could be imagined. The idea that they are the only thing that give my life purpose is baffling. In fact, there was a time when my daughter was a toddler and my whole life revolved around parenting her and that was probably the deepest depression I’ve ever been in feeling like I had no other tether to life than being a parent. Having a child should absolutely be a personal choice and as a survivor of ab*se, I highly encourage anyone who doesn’t want kids to please please please NEVER have kids.

As someone who teaches children, some of the children I teach don’t have support and understanding from their parents at all. Often these things get pushed towards teachers to take care of. A lot of parents don’t take having children seriously enough. It’s more damaging to judge people for not wanting children because children deserve a lot of love, care, and patience. A lot of adults don’t even have that for themselves. Telling someone to have kids when they don’t actually have the desire is so baffling. I’ve thought for a while about if I want kids and I still don’t know. Id like to be in a place where I can give as much love to them as possible if I were to have them. Especially because it’s a life in my hands.

Even when you have a child, people judge you for having only one! “They need a sibling” “you’ll change your mind later” FULL STOP NO 😂 I’m fine with my one baby girl and 3 cats lol

In my opinion, parents who have children just to have someone to take care of them or to have grandchildren when they are old are selfish and stupid. There is no guarantee that your child will take care of you. What if they decide to move far away? What if your children do not want to have children? These type of parents don't understand that their child doesn't owe them anything. This argument always makes my blood boil when people bring it up in discussions lol.

As someone with 2 kids, I wouldnt mind a business that is kid-free! I would get a babysitter and probably visit! Also, I was in a restaurant where a child's diaper literally OVER-FLOWED. He was sitting in a high chair and it just kept squishing out the waistband of his pants. The stench filled the whole room we were eating in. HOW the parents didnt notice is beyond me! I can see why someone wouldnt want to have an experience like that 😳

A moving leaf literally set my child off two weeks ago, and I lost it when you said that 😂. Without going into too much detail she made a family of leaves (which reminded me I don't need to spend any further money on toys... you play with those leaves, girl), and the breeze kept slightly moving them around. I don't get angry or confused about why others choose not to have children. I love my feral children, but I don't expect everyone to feel that way. We would all be better as a society if we just focused on ourselves, and our choices instead of getting so angry over other's choices and reasons for those choices. If that happened I would have a lot less to watch though so hate on I guess? 😂

I love that your silliness from the Twin Channel has started to come through on the Robert Reacts channel as well!

Momma of 2 here. I don't get people who hate on those who hate child-free people. I don't get people who hate on parents. Just leave each other alone and live your life. Literally no one cares that you hate kids, or that you hate/are jealous of child-free people. Also, I love dogs but I wouldn't own one because they're more work than a cat. But I do miss having that unconditional love that my cat won't give me lol

The outrage I received from ppl I barely know when I say I plan to adopt ... that no man will want to marry me... that it's selfish to deny my future husband the opportunity to pass down his family's name??? As if the adopted child doesn’t take their new parent’s name anyway. I want to pull my hair out

No 😂 the “something else” after at the start when talking about life milestones actually sent me 😂😂

I’m a mom…but also a wife and friend and woman…my children don’t define me, nor should they! I’m glad to know that people are recognizing they don’t want children…way too many people have children because they think they have to and not because they want them. People are just dumb to get upset about other people’s choices!?!?

Notice how when you ask people with children why they have them it’s always a selfish reason. It’s to uplift them and make them feel better. I find the people on that thread to be so sad. You don’t have a purpose outside of your kids? You don’t think that you’ll make sufficient and lasting relationships that will take you until you die without the forced bond of blood? Like are your kids your only friends? You don’t have a life outside of that? It’s so sad to see bc life is full of things that have purpose that aren’t starting a family. So they are just outing themselves as terrible, uninteresting people that you wouldn’t be around if you weren’t related to them. And that’s so sad. Just such a sad and negative mindset.

The distain, the grammatical and semantic correction, the sass, I love it! You sir are unique and exquisite.

I really love your personality, no matter what youre talking about you always make me smile just because of how you present yourself x

I have 2 toddlers and am pregnant with a 3rd. So many ‘friends’ have said we are nuts and so many derogatory things. And it’s like… I’m not asking y’all to pay for these kids so what does it matter?

My child-free friends make the best aunties! I think it’s important to have friends that are child free to help remind you that you were someone before your became a parent. When I had postpartum anxiety, my child free friends all had my back. Life is hard no matter what life you choose, we should just have everyone’s back.

didn't think we were going to talk about eugenics today but here we are also yes I do live by the motto "if I don't like broccoli I should just end myself" but we can't have it all love, sometimes we gotta do things we don't want to for the sake of others and you must be such an inspiration for your own kids miss tasha, learning from the best and all that

I’m only a teenager but tbh I am so proud of my almost 2 year old dog. It is very rewarding when he gets the hang of new commands and even starts doing things automatically. Not to mention when he listens to the neighbors dogs barking and just plays with his toy, puts his face against mine for affection or lays his head down in my hand and goes to sleep. The average dog literally has the IQ of a toddler with a food oriented brain. I’m convinced many of these people don’t “believe” in positive reinforcement either and that’s why any dog they’ve had is super reactive. No one can tell me that caring for an animal isn’t purposeful without seeming like they don’t value the lives of anything other than a person.

26 here and married, spouse and I have one dog. Our life is so full. I can’t imagine trading our peace for a screaming child right now. 😅

I didn’t want kids, changed my mind, had a kid that I love more than anything. I had a cat first that was my child that I loved more than anyone and I spent every last penny on his vet bills during college. And I still don’t care if people don’t want kids! Live your life. With kids or without. Single, not single. As long as you’re not hurting anyone, who cares. I wouldn’t have pets or children if I couldn’t afford it. No one should be shamed for not having kids if they 1. Can’t afford it or 2. Don’t want them.

I absolutely love these videos. Please keep them up. I actually laughed out loud during this one (who knew LOL is a thing). Thanks so much! I really love your content!

I am a dog owner and also have a 15 month old toddler. I don’t understand on either side why people can’t just do what they choose with THEIR life. It’s their life who cares! Both are precious and deserve to go out into the world without people having something negative to say. With that being said yes babies and dogs can’t and shouldn’t be allowed everywhere. I don’t understand why there’s so much hate.

As someone who has a lovely child who I love very much and likes kids in general, I would still prefer to sit by a dog than a random child I don't know for a 9 hour flight. 😂 Seriously though, I totally agree it's so ridiculous how we are fighting each other about the kid/dog issue. People criticized me before I had my son (for not having one), now people criticize me for only having one... I'm not sure you can "win" this argument. If someone wants a child and wants to be a good parent, go for it! If you do not want to be a parent, don't be a parent. There are plenty of parents who don't like their kids all that much and don't want to put in the effort to give their children safe and loving lives. Being a parent does not make you a saint just like being child-free does not make you a demon. As for having dogs or kids in restaurants, I would say that if you have a well-behaved child or a well-behaved dog, I will welcome you with open arms into any restaurant I'm eating in. If your dog is snapping at people or barking incessantly, maybe find outdoor seating or take your food to go and eat at a park. If your child is throwing tantrums and being crazy, same. I think it's about being considerate to the people around you and recognizing that sometimes your child or dog can be a bit much and then you might need to excuse yourself for the benefit of other patrons. Great video, Robert! I love your hot takes and I always laugh when I watch your videos.
