Seth Rogen says he and his wife have discovered the key to happiness in their relationship: not having kids.

[UpAndComing]

As someone who absolutely wants kids and can't see myself not having kids...

There are some people who don't deserve to have kids, yes DESERVE. If you are not Financially or Mentally stable you should not have kids, period. I agree with Seth in that people just assume having kids is some sort of right of passage as an adult. No the hell it is not. Anyone who has kids who is not financially/mentally stable or has it for the wrong reasons is 100% selfish

I honestly think at this day and age, we’re past the point where it’s automatically assumed and expected that you go through the “marriage, kids, etc” at a certain age

This whole “Team No Kids” shyt has gotten annoying as fukk. Common sense will tell you, you have all the time (and money) in the world to do whatever, when you don’t have children to take care of. It’s absolutely needless to say.

Y’all gon mess around and see this placed in the “depopulation agenda” file in a sec

You might as well throw the neutralist and fence sitters into this conversation too.

Because you're doing the same thing by forming an opinion form a neutralist position and saying both sides arguments dumb and lack self awareness.

The IRON KNEE. Being indifferent or neutal doesn't free you of the same criticism you expressed for both sides. You're doing the same shyt just from a neutral point of view.

Fence sitters are the worst, they think they are above everything by bragging they don't think of things too deeply and don't have an opinion.

Timmy's dad was a hater who always let his son know he ruined his life. Dinkleberg was just doing him with a hater with kids watching his every move.

nikka shut the fukk up

you take every bytch you like to the court house to get married? connection?

lmfaooo you and every nikka carrying ya name is a fukking hoe

But that’s marriage also is it not? Following a pre ordained script. Why not just date? He’s kinda right. Or be serial monogamists? All of this is a script to a degree. Literally everything that’s traditional. The key to having and maintaining a great traditional status quo driven concept like marriage is to be non traditional is basically what Seth is saying. I mean, I guess…

Yeah marriage is the same also...anything that doesn't really make sense in the grand scheme of things or change the dynamic at all.

Monogamy is only somewhat reasonable because otherwise what's the point of a close relationship at all if you aren't compromising anything?

People act like chilling single and then fukking when you want to fukk someone isn't an option lol I did that the majority of my adult life lol oh yeah because most people aren't attractive enough for that, and use the emotions to create a bond and consistent sex with one partner...most humans need a relationship for any sort of consistent sex.

Exactly! This is how it should be put out there. The team “no kids” folks make it, like kids will ruin their lives. In reality, you having kids would be giving the kids a fukked up life. The kid isn’t the fukk up, it’s you the adult who’s mentally unstable, or maybe you’re mentally stable but financially unstable, or maybe you’re financially stable by but have non-discipline. The millennials(I am one) present it as though they’re this special burning star, who’s light will be dimmed by having a child. Nah, simply put: You ain’t shyt. That’s why you shouldn’t have a child. We all agree that we shouldn’t have to follow a script, but the “fukk them kids” generation are team “no kid” for the most arrogant insufferable reasons.

They have a whole Reddit dedicated to kids doing annoying or “fukked up” regular kid things. As if adults aren’t the fukk ups, fukking shyt up daily. These brehs are kidphobic and it’s weird. And I say this as a childless breh.

I don't have kids. But it's so annoying to listen to people without kids act like people with children are miserable. Because that's really all Seth Rogen is saying here.

"I have time to do all the things I want to do and all the things I need to do" = I smoke weed a lot. Like, A LOT. And not having kids allows me to smoke A LOT OF WEED. And bang my wife sometimes. And if I need to make a movie to fund my lifestyle of smoking a lot of weed, I can do that. Because I don't have kids. And the responsibility of having kids can limit parents' ability to do what they want to do.

That's REALLY what he's saying.
Which is fine.
But that's the subtext and it sounds a lot more goofy than the dressed up bullshyt he said in that video.



Edit - Because I got called out on it in a later post, I'll clarify that it's annoying to have to listen to his explanation for why he doesn't have kids.
But it's fine that he chose not to have kids, as a personal decision.

As a father with 2 kids he kinda right. I live my babies but my life was much more organic and exciting before kids.

I love them to the point I wouldn’t trade it to go the other way now, but your life hs absolutely hindered if you ate being real good parents, money wise, entertainment wise, lol
Sleep wise.

Obviously once you in it, you in it and you gotta make the best out of it. But I tell people to really think hard on if they want kids. A lot of people not prepared for it

Even down to raising a kid with another full grown adult, cause both y’all two different and gonna be ok and not ok with the some stuff child is grows into.

 

[Ineedmoney504]

Imagine having kids just so you have someone to take care of you when you get old. That's wild as hell.

That’s crazy shyt lol. Would never burden my kids with that responsibility lol

I know he fits that mold--and I know a bunch of late 30s and early 40s men who still can't let go they're not 35 anymore). But at the same time, i know some people who didn't have kids just because it never happened for them.

This dud is rich and famous enough to adopt, but I'm sure he and his wife have "fur babies" and treat them like they're children. Honestly, why would anyone try to push or encourage selfish people to even try and raise kids?

I was aboot to ask for the tab on my way out this morning...



But you just gave a vreh a reality check. lol



Real spiel, i keep thinking about my life back in 2017-2018 when i was in my mid 30's and living life extremely care free (i.e. getting drunk every weeknd, traveling and being mad irresponsible, bedding different pieces on a monthly basis (raw dogging almost all of them), buying tennis shoes as though they were going with me into the afterlife, etc.).



The benefactor was covid. I realized that i could care about somebody other than myself (and while that didn't play out very well), at least learned now to be selfless and understand what true love was (again, even though i got burnt; never wear your proverbial hearts on your shirt cuffs, brehs).



Now that i'm about to turn 41 in less than two months, single, at the apex of my career... i realized that the trajectory that my life was going in wasn't conducive to a healthy/meaningful existence (i have every i want/need... but there's something missing).



Quite frankly, and I'll be honest with you guys, i always thought i'd be a bachelor for life. Go out Paul Walker/Jimmy Dean style and crash my whip over bridge and die a glamorous death (that's how selfish i was for a very long time)... then the woman of my life entered the chat and gave me purpose and drive.



Made me want to be alive for lifes finer moments and build with a woman i was completely devoted to and in love iwth. What was initially a long distnacae relationship, we had plans to be reunited/live together in a couple years and eventually start a family.



But like everything in life... no guarantees and essentially, like a banana ice cream desert... we split.



So now i'm back to square one and living life i don't give a fukk. And this is why i also understand why having a signifcant other/ some kind of familial responsibility breeds a more admirable quality of life (there's a recent conversation about how dudes ain't getting laid as much and that disrupts the economy and the overall moral fibers of society... basically creating the ultimate downfall of man, and I agree).



I don't want to say i was being codependent on a woman for the idea that i would be more structured and a stand up/responsible human being... but i don't see it any other way... now that i've lived enough life. I ain't shiit by myself and now that my voice of reason is gone... i'm back to demon time. I'm a despicable person... and old habits die hard. Mother forgive me.




Like if i died tomorrow, my legacy would be that i wasn't shiit and just some philanderer who squandered his life with no meaning.




A real life Georgie Porgie.








Shame for real.

We have exactly the same mindset. 2 kids here as well.

Most people who have kids are not doing it for a noble reason. They are doing it out of ego.
And to avoid the introspection and pestering from friends and family that comes with not having kids.
I wouldn't deem having kids as selfish, but it's definitely self-serving.

Hope you understand what I did there. And how those generalizations don't constitute a cogent argument.

Most people have kids as a opps, let’s be real. I don’t think I ever met anyone in life who planned a baby
