Seth is right. A lot of people seem to have kids as like a crazy science experiment -- like something they can do to preoccupy their time with. They are also always complaining about them. They literally complain about the things they have to do because they chose to be parents. Make it make sense.

In that audience: the silent stares of people wishing they didn’t have kids

It makes my skin crawl when I hear "I said the same thing at your age, you'll change your mind someday"

At least Seth is honest 😂.

I love when you hear someone talk about not wanting kids. It's so engrained in society that we should or you get asked the question as if something is wrong with you if you don't.

It is refreshing when someone chooses to be happy without having kids.

I love the uncomfortable half laughter of all the moms in the audience. There really are enough people on the planet.

I like Seth talking about this publicly. It's true that having children is not everybody's dream. I have nieces and I think I'm a good aunt, but I doubt I will be a good parent.

Everything Seth said is all me 😂

personally im not a person who wants kids either and i dont think someone should be scrutinized for making that decision

I actually think it's great that we're coming to a point where kids feel more optional in many cultures. There are a lot of people out there who shouldn't be parents, and a lot of kids who aren't given the love they need because their parents are indifferent or even hostile towards them. To me it's far less selfish for someone who knows parenthood isn't for them to opt out than it is to have kids they resent.

I am 43 and have no kids and I’m still happy about , I have less responsibilities and it makes my life easier , it’s just me and my girlfriend

I'm not the hugest Rogen fan, but I'm 100% with him on this. I've taken it a step further, I'm never getting married either. I'm super selfish and that me time is all for me, all time time. I've got a Sister who has two kids, and they're alright...for like a couple hours, then I'm like "Okay, I'm done. See ya!" It must suck not being able to do what you want when you want, especially after going to work all day, then you come home and it's like "I gotta watch my kids?" No thanks.

I don't know why people try so hard to force others to want/have kids. Some of us just don't want them! Better than having kids for the sake of having them and then not being there for them...

Getting married next year and we both don’t want kids. Talked about possibly fostering in our 40s. But the rest of our 30s at least are just for us! ♥️

I love kids and would be a great parent and I'm thrilled every single day I don't have any.

I love kids. I will babysit my nieces and nephews but I don’t know if I want my own kids. I understand what a big responsibility that is. I don’t like the pressure that is put on others especially at a certain age or based on gender. It is a decision that you have to make on your own or with your significant other if in a relationship. Not having kids doesn’t mean you hate them. Parents judge non parents sometimes and that’s really not fair.

The voice of reason! As a woman I have had to justify to DOCTORS why I don't want kids. I had my tubes tied at 22 and was told I would regret it. I'm almost 38 and nope still very happy with my decision. So many people seem to do it just because 'that's what you do' never mind the fact that the world is beyond overpopulated.

As someone who can't have bio babies, and am relieved to not be a parent now that I'm middle aged, I'd really like everyone to never feel pressured or othered in the way so many of us have experienced.

I love Kelly but I'm annoyed that she drilled him so much about this. I don't understand why it's still socially acceptable to question someone's choice on such a huge matter. Maybe I'm bitter because I've battled this question over and over and over. I'm now at a point in my life (45) where "oh you'll change your mind someday..." isn't an option for people lol I MADE IT, I GREW UP, AND I'M DAMN HAPPY WITH MY CHOICE 😅 You keep posting pics of your kids' soccer games and I'll keep posting my mimosas on the beach.

I love kids! I love watching my niece(3) and nephew(8). I love being an uncle to them and watching them grow up. BUT I personally do not want kids. I used to want them but that has changed.

Watching Kelly give this interview really made me a fan of hers and now I watch her show every day. She's open minded to everyone and I love that!

I hear ya, Seth! Love the honesty and humor. ❤😂

I think its all about the money, so if someone as wealthy as Rogen still doesnt want them, you can tell its 100% genuine

Every time Chelsea Handler says this she gets so much backlash like STFU!

WHY DONT PEOPLE JUST ADOPT?! Plenty of homeless kids out there, stop being selfish please. We dont always need mini mes. And stop pressuring others to have them gosh.

Seth😍! Seth is right. Parenthood is not for everyone.

One of the reasons why I am childfree, besides free time and other things, is that I do not want my beloved woman to go through the suffering of pregnancy and childbirth. I love her, how can I rejoice that she will suffer? This sounds strange to me. Just my personal opinion =)

Kelly said this was her favourite interview ever and I love that.

Here to laugh at all the people mad at him saying he don't want kids. He's on a chat show and was ASKED the question. He answered it. Look at all the bitter Karens and Kens who mad cause they have kids that they didn't want and are stuck with them for life. Your kids despise you, deal with it. Should've made better decisions then. 🤣🤣

I’m glad people can live as they choose ❤. It’s just sad if you want and can’t have. Other than that happiness is different for everyone

I love just uncompromising he is in front of a flaky, un-controvencial audience about one of the most deeply personal decisions any human being can make. I almost respect it even more when wealthy people like Seth don't want kids because clearly he can afford it, but still.... Nope.

I totally agree with him!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The societal template of being a married adult and therefore having kids for a fulfilling life is one of the greatest falsehoods. Many find joy of course but Seth is right - so many parents miss their freedoms, autonomy and life on their terms. Middle age is the key time when their mortality and the ‘you get one life’ dawns on them.

Seth, you dropped this. 👑

Least your being honest and open and that you don’t just have them for the sake of it Hugh hugh😂

My hero!!!!!! I love this. I don't have any and I see my family and my partner the issues they have with their kids. I just say I am glad I don't have any still

I love Seth Rogan! And he’s very intelligent. You can tell he put a lot of thought into this! He’s right. What is so joyful about parenthood?

He’s so handsome ❤

Agreed! 😂

Leave him alone, He doesn't need to constantly be asked about this. He's not hurting anyone and is bringing joy to the world through his art. There are bigger problems in the world.

Remember that long-ass paper you did in like junior or senior year of high school or in your third or fourth year in college that you thought you would never be able to finish yeah a kid is about a million times harder than that

Thank you, Seth, for voicing your opinion so it can help normalize the chilfree/antinatalist lifestyle. 🤗

Thank you Seth!! I am childless by choice and I love it!! I have a niece and I also did daycare for over 20 years. My brother thought having a kid would make life better but he is still miserable. His fomo or feeling like he needed a purpose just caused more stress. Now there’s a child in the mix. I love my niece. I watch her and play with her. My mother and I go out of our way to give her tons of attention and love. I feel bad for her because she doesn’t get the attention she should at 2 from her parents. She was not even a month old and her mom wanted weekends away from her. But I have no regrets on no kids. I don’t feel fomo. I am happier without them. And when I’m old I’ll still be good!!! 😊. I have my me time whenever and I don’t have to worry about kids. It’s so freeing especially as a woman. It’s selfish to have kids and then use them as accessories like my horrible brother and his wife.

his laugh 😂

Never wanted kids and people kept on you'd be a fear mom blah blah. No, I'm a great aunt and totally fulfilled

Same, Seth. Same.

Love you Seth

it doesnt seem fun at all! im still trying to find a reason to have kids 🤔🤔

He ain’t wrong. 🤘🏻

I literally got called a sociopath the other day because I comment on a fb post that was shaming kidfree people and said "I will never have kids cos I could never feel love for a child". It doesn't make me a sociopath. It makes me responsible, because I'm not putting a child through that. I'm never going to go out of my way to mistreat a child, bit I don't want them or to be around them. Their constant talking and crying and general noise makes me feel dysregulated

I’ve been saying I won’t have kids since I was in my 20s and everyone keep pressuring me.. been with my partner for 20 years he feels the same way. I’m almost 40 I can’t wait for people to back off, there’s enough people on this planet we don’t need more if I want one I’d rather adopt a kid who needs help!

I’m 24 and don’t want kids. I don’t have a desire to have kids. Ever since I was a kid, I never wanted children. The world is too overpopulated

Ya I love my nieces and nephews

thats such a positive thing to hear, i'm glad we won't have little seth rogens running around, never could have imagined i'd say this but seth rogen made my day!

I'm with Seth:)

I think it’s great to get that kind of public validation from somebody who has kids, so good job Kelly Clarkson! It is OK not to have kids! Even though I do want kids, there was a good time I was, considering not having them, and that would have been OK if I had stayed in that lane. It’s a stressful life being a parent, if you would rather use that energy doing other things than that is OK. This is not the beginning of planet earth where the Bible said you need to spread your seed and multiply or whatever, we have like 1 billion people in the world, nobody should pressure anybody. because when you make that decision, and you regret it, there’s no going back and waving him magic wand to get rid of your kids. You need to be sure that that life is some thing that you love in spite of its hard shifts, just like the career you choose. Not here come the people who are going to throw a fit then I compared You need to be sure that that life is some thing that you love in spite of it’s hard shifts, just like the career you choose. Now here comes the people who are going to throw a fit that I compared to having kids to having a career…, but you know what, it’s a similar situation, because when you choose you have to stick with it, and you have to do it every day for decades of your life. So yeah. You have to be sure that this is something that is not just draining you for the sake of draining you, and that it’s actually worth it because it’s something you’re passionate about.

My favorite actor 👍 i hope that seth make neighbors 3 😎

100% the honest truth!

Here's the thing. If you want kids that's your own business. Never make it anyone else's business if they don't want kids.

Some people have kids and then form their entire identity around them. Becomes so controlling and it’s just toxic AF. Other people just DGAF about their kids at all. My dad is on wife #5 and has 6 kids with 4 different women. I am an only child between my parents but have 6 half siblings. Only one of whom I grew up and lived with, it was wildly dysfunctional.

I love him he is awesome

Woooo I love him even more now!! 🎉

I love that he is wearing shoe-slippers!

Perhaps Seth is got the point!

100% facts

I thank God every day for not having kids.

My wife and I never have wanted to have them, I got a vasectomy, but everyone asks, why don't we want to have kids??? and I ask them... why do you want to? they get genuinely offended... I just want a straight answer, I have plenty of them. There are economic and time constrains that make me don't want to have them... then they ask me what if you regret not having kids? Well, there are a lot of homeless kids out there brought to this world by parents that never asked them selves... can I have them??? before asking, or not even "Do I want them?"

Thank you Seth Rosen.

omg loll hes too funny

It’s refreshing to see a guy get the question of why don’t you want kids. It’s always women who have to deal with answering that bullshit. The default in society should be why do u WANT kids? It’s should be 1 option of many in life but we act like it is our factory setting to pop kids out.

Agree 100% Child Free and ecstatic!

Team no kids 😊

I’m waiting for the full interview of the new voice of Donkey Kong later today! 🍌

No kids best life ever!

You should have a choice to be a parent. But the thing to me is that more people should be open about adoption.

Now some need realize that so many people feel the same way, but the kids they have now are the ones suffering. Ironically by him and his wife being selfish is what really makes them more considerate to human life than some who do have kids

I"m so glad I have kids and while it can have it's challenges, like all of life, it's overhwelmingly a wonderful experience. I would have been fine without them, and nothing wrong with not wanting them, but I'm sure glad I have them!

I wish I had kids

This guy kind of looks like Justin ❤

When Kelly was robotically waxing about the beauty of having children, Seth's look of "LIAR" and the shaking of his head, spoke EVERYTHING. You will not spread your misery over here, lady.

Seth speaks the truth

I completely agree my family has finally backed off and they get it I like being an aunty that doesn’t babysit

Bruh what happened to Kelly clarkson

It is simply a personal choice, give people space to make their life how they want it. 🤗☮️

I think what ppl are turned off about isn't the fact that he doesn't wants kids. It's probably the fact that he makes it sound like everyone who has kids are miserable, and that's not true. Coming from a childfree woman. 🤷‍♀

It's funny because my friends with kids always remind me of the freedom i have even in conversations that doesn't involve kids.

Seth Rogan: I don't want kids. Me: I don't want the IRS

Hey, Mantis. Or are you Frank Furter?

Good man. Unfortunately it's the most intelligent people like us (!) who don't want kids... Discuss

Such a personal thing perhaps unable

That’s how he laughs all the time? It scared the shit out of me

I love kids. Just don't want any of my own. Kinda like doggies. Too much maintenance. 🍻🤔

I wouldn't have kids either if I didn't have this crazy desire inside myself to love someone unconditionnally

Its costs on avg $250,000 to raise a kid to 18. Kids are a luxury and there is no payoff. Most adult kids only see there parents once a month and do not take care of them in their final years.

Lauren Miller is no longer of child bearing age. That ship has sailed for her now. So, it's pointless to ask Seth this question.

Why does this need to be a topic of discussion. He doesn’t want kids, so? Move on.

He got sooooooooooo hot.

I love him

i love being a parent but i also think there r ppl who shouldn’t have them too
