I love the real talk at the end. It really helps wrap up the video and gives insight into Corinne's final thoughts while also giving insight into the reasons why people might not have a child.
I haven't wanted kids since I was around 10....I'm in my 50's now and childfree, so I've dealt with the harassment from family who feel they have the right to put in their two cents. I flat out tell anyone if they don't like my choices, they can go pound salt. It's not anyone's business but your own. Period.
Exactly why cant people who want kids just worry about their own lives and respect the choices of others? They must resent their kids and the life that came from it if they feel the need to shame other couples for unapologetically living differently lol
You're kinda already a mother at the moment. You've got your furbabies, your plant babies, your Rob baby. Some of my students ask me if I have any kids, and I remind them I'm pretty much co-parenting them at the moment (young teenagers who still struggle with the basics like bringing a pen and book to class, getting enough sleep, making good choices). Yeah I sometimes do the whole "you are my kids" sappy thing, partly because then I can say I have 150 kids at the moment.
The reason you put a sticker on your car when you have a baby is to alert responders if you were in an accident that there’s someone in the car that can’t get out of the car by themselves. That sticker is pretty funny though
Some people just don’t want kids and that’s 100% okay. A piece of wisdom said to my mother by a high school teacher of her’s and passed on to me: “If you don’t want kids, don’t have them.” I don’t know why so many people feel that other people’s decisions are their business. I love babies and I wanna have them. Does somebody’s decision of not wanting babies affect my life? No. Do what’s right for your body, your relationship, your lifestyle, etc. Don’t let anyone pressure you into doing something that isn’t right for you.
I agree! In the end it will be the kids that suffer if you never really wanted any in the first place! I actually think this is common unfortunately plus its like cool to have baby daddy's now SMH!!
I love how Corinne tried to make it seem like she wanted to name her daughter something "flower" themed. When in reality it was just Harry Potter themed 😂😂😂
I fell for the clickbait 🙈 This was fun to watch though! Thanks for saying women can exist in this world and not want to have children 😆 Just because I'm married and in my 30s doesn't mean my life revolves around having babies!
I feel exactly the same. I have never felt that desire to have a child and now married and in my 30s I still don't. Great, go for it if you do, but leave the rest of us alone.
I'm not married but in my 30's and no desire to be married or have kids but boy do I love some ding-a-ling. they like to to paint us women with a thin brush but we come in all forms across a wide spectrum of desires and goals we all must stand together and appreciate the differences that make us all awesome I love you my sisters and continue to be amazing :)
Agreed. Women are meant for so much more than having children. Ignore the rude comments. 💕 people will always hate 😊 (maybe they’re jealous that people are happy.)
Rebeca Rojas I agree. I find that listening to people talk about real life issues, emotions, or struggles give me a sense of comfort because I know I’m not alone in my own life issues, emotions, and struggles.
Some of these comments...yikes!! Why is it so hard for y'all to wrap your head around ppl not wanting to have children? There's nothing wrong mentally or physically. This shouldn't be this difficult to accept.
I'm currently 8 months into the 9 month pregnancy challenge... 😐 EDIT: As of 9/12/20 I have a son, almost two, he's great, I'm great, everyone is happy and healthy. Thank you everyone for all the kind words!❤️ Also WOW...3.3K likes? I don't think I've ever gotten that many before 😯
Corinne, it was *really* watching you, at the end of the video, just be completely real with us. No shenanigans. No silly voices or anything. Just serious Corinne. I know that's not the normal Threadbanger "brand," but as you were saying, things change (especially after 12 years). I would definitely love to see more of the serious side of you and Rob.
I agree with you completely, and coming from a guy who doesnt like their choices and views I love their comedy and think they would both be amazing parents to their own child. Love is love
I'm only 21, but because I'm already married, people ask me all the time when I'm going to have kids. All my life I've said I'm not going to have children and all my life people tell me I'm just going to change my mind. It's annoying because I've never had the desire. I have very real reasons for not wanting them too. I'd rather not carry on the family genetic line due to a lot of mental illnesses in both of my parents. It's refreshing to hear someone tell people not to judge others because they don't know the situation. Thanks Corinne.
I'm kind of super sad you both got married so young, especially in this day and age. Statistically speaking, your divorces won't be far away..... .....so, have fun with that.
Eh, that's BS. I'm 33 and unmarried, and I haven't changed my mind about kids at all. I don't hate kids. I like them quite a bit, in fact. But I have severe depression and anxiety and can barely function on some days. It would be extremely selfish of me to have kids that I'm not prepared to fully support. If I *do* ever have a kid, I want to adopt one in foster care, preferably an older kid because they're usually the "unwanted" ones because adoptive parents want cute little babies, and it breaks my heart. But even that's not happening anytime soon, and I'm fine with that. Don't let anyone pressure you into such a massive commitment.
Married or not, interested in parenthood or not, we should not go around telling other people that they'll change their mind or make them feel obligated to procreate just because others might. It's incredibly insulting, as what feels right (or possible) for some is absolutely not for others. Parenthood changes people forever and there can be terrible consequences when some rush into it without understanding that.
I've never wanted children. I'm just not a patient enough person to be a good parent. I'd much rather leave the parenting up to people who want to do it, rather than have kids I didnt really want because "that's what you do". People say that's selfish to not want children, but I think I'm doing the world a favor by not being another bad parent.
Abby Nicole it's more selfish for the parents who do and then leave them or decide they hate their own kids. You not wanting kids is not selfish in the slightest.
Also I feel as though wanting your own biological children is a bit selfish, seeing as there are millions of children out there that don't have parents to take care of them, children that need loving homes.
I appreciate you pointing out that some women can't or don't want to have children and to be respectful of those choices. There is such a societal push that when you are a certain age you need to be married and having kids. It is refreshing to hear no you don't have to do that. It is what you want and decide. My mom couldn't have children so I was adopted. I'm grateful that adoption, planned parenthood, and all those things exist.
Justlov4 Uh ikr? This pressure is everywhere, like, every culture have that and I hate it! When you're gonna get married? When will you find a real job? IT'S NOT THEIR BUSINESS. Also this might be sound weird but I'm adopted too and people who think their family must carry their blood sucks. Love isn't something like that. Love is care. Anyway if you did read this much love xx🧡
G a y V i b e s speaking of judgmental people and people pressuring others... I am so tired of judgmental people such as yourself... type a lot, and people say "oh your comment is too long its a novel tldr"... then you type a short comment and people say "all you can type is 4 words?"... and then you have the people who correct your grammar and spelling... and then theres the people who get mad when people correct mistakes and call them grammar nazis... then theres people who criticize you for using too many emojis, or get mad when you dont speak their language, or dont agree with your political stance... no matter what you do someone will get triggered... but in the end, people such as yourself need to just let people make comments anyway they want... they can type as much or as little as they want, type properly and proofread or make mistakes and not care. dont judge people for what they say or how they say it. u need to lighten up... look at me, im a very calm person, which is evidenced by a huge comment in response to a joke :) haha was bored. people really do all these things but in reality i dont give a damn what anyone thinks, just felt like complaining like everyone else.
Justin I’m not judging people I am asking why are people writing long comments? Like did something happen in the video that I didn’t see? I didn’t watch the whole video
G a y V i b e s maybe you didnt read my whole comment or maybe I just wasnt clear, but I was joking and being sarcastic... I know you werent judging... as far as the long comments, she bought up a subject that some people feel strongly about and/or can be upsetting to people... at the end of the video she brought up how a lot of times people can judge people who are older and married but dont want kids, or question people why they dont have kids not knowing they are unable to... so before you question someone why they dont have kids, consider it may be a medical reason why they cant so it may upset them... and if someone just doesnt want kids, consider that having kids isnt for everyone. its a touchy subject for some people so thats why im guessing the long comments... hopefully i explained it ok.
i can't have biological children and i hear all the time from strangers " you're married why don't you have kids" UGH i want to hit them every time! my mother in law used to bring up grand kids almost every time we saw her, i wanted to cry and scream and it made me not want to be around her.
Same. I cry every single time someone brings up me having children (I’m 26). Like, yes I would have children; but if I do, I’d be under observation 24/7 at a psychiatric facility. I hate people, like you don’t know everyone’s situation!!
I've started telling people that if they want a baby around, they should have their own instead of bugging me to do it. Give them a dose of that feeling right back.
Guys if you don't want kids, then don't. My mother never wanted to have kids but has three, my brothers don't have a problem with her but the relationship between me and my mother was always really difficult. I just think that she shouldn't have kids in the first place but i an glad I am here. Obviously she cared about us but I often didn't felt loved. Also feeling like an "accident" isn't nice as well Only have kids if you can love them with all your heart
Fabr a I agree. My mother didn't necessarily want kids, and she didn't have the stability to have them. She is pro-choice and when her birth control methods failed, her choice was to keep us. It was rough, but I don't have the right to make those decisions for her. What I can do, though, is say that we have a very divided society and our priorities need to be refocused. My childhood story shouldn't be as common as it is.
I'm actually happy that she isn't pregnant because it's what she wants. If she wants to have kids then let her have kids. If she doesn't want kids, then she doesn't need to have kids. The same thing goes for rob. I hate it when people force their own ways of living and ideas on others. Let them live how they want. Not every married couple wants kids. Respect their chocies and move on.
Can't remember anyone forcing their own ways of living on Corrine and Rob. Most of the people over here are just sad as they expected a child and i beleive everyone respects their decision.
You're married to Rob........that's child enough! :P Seriously though, good video, excellent message. We women are not baby factories and although I definitely want kids in the future, I understand not everyone does or even can! Respect people's decisions to not have kids, and respect their decision to not tell you WHY they don't have kids, it's none of ya damn business!
This video made my cry. I loved the idea behind it and the sentiment at the end. I’ve been struggling with infertility for 10 years and I get asked all the time when we are going to have kids and each time it breaks my heart even more. I under why people don’t want kids or have more than 5 kids. It’s all a personal choice. Thank you for posting this Corrine and Rob! It was so heart felt n
Sammy Jay I'm right there with you. Only for me it's been 7 years. I hate when my family or friends ask me all the time. It makes it so much more depressing and breaks my heart as well more and more. 😭
Paige Pham it’s the worst. I don’t talk to my family but my significant others family it’s like an every weekend thing. It’s hard and I’m running out of things to tell them. I’m sorry hun. 7 years is when I gave up and took a break for a year and now I’ve been seeing an re and it may come down to ivf
Whenever people ask me why I don't have children, I always respond: "I am not childless. I am child free. There's a difference." I have never wanted to have children of my own, and have never wanted to be pregnant. I hate that people assume that all women want to be mothers, because it's simply not true.
I don’t want to because I am clumsy and don’t have the attention span and stuff to raise a kid. So many people are like “your young you’ll change” like maybe I will. But until then don’t act like I don’t have free will
Waterflame children are a huge responsibility. You literally make up a person for society, babies are okay but when they start to grow up and ask questions etc. I just feel like the huge responsibility starts. Being a good parent isnt easy, most people just make like 5 kids and dont even look after them. If you are going to have a baby think about it people. We see horrible examples of what a bad parenting can do and how much damage it can cause to children. They talk like you really should have a baby but not really like i can write so many reason why we dont need more children. Also i dont want to bring a child to this world honestly smh . I dont really like kids but Im 17 so i probably will change my mind in future but i still think its not an easy or a simple thing.
That's true and the pressure women face when it comes to pregnancy is real. I personally know people who are scared shitless of taking care and raising small humans, other feel sick at the very thought of ever giving birth. And children are not for everyone either.
My son and daughter-in-law are on their mid thirties and I don’t think they are going to have kids. I never ask about it, that is their business. They love each other and are kind to each other. I’m not sure if they are trying and can’t have kids or have just decided after 10 years without kids that they don’t want kids. All I know is that it is a personal decision and I will never ask if/when they are having kids.
Thank you for being a great mom and a great mother-in-law as well. My in laws are really mean sometimes, I wish they were respectful like that. We're pretty young (23 and 22), so they're not pushing us to have children... it's actually the other way around. They usually tell him that if I get pregnant I'll literally ruin his life, so they're constantly trying to end our relationship. We're together for 4 years (and a couple of months) now, but they just won't stop with this nonsense. I'm pretty damn sure that their speech is going to change drastically if we decide to marry tho. They will be really surprised once they find out that I don't even want children. And then, most likely, they will start trashing me just because I don't want children. It's a never ending cycle.
U and Rob should make a ‘we try’ series where you guys try different things like pregnancy bellies, waxes (hair removal methods) , different types of food etc.
This was great. My boyfriend and I have been together for 10 years, no plans for marriage, no plans for kids, because it's our life, and we can live it how we want.
I wanted kids when I was in high school, or at least I thought I did. Then I grew up and really gave it some thought and decided I didn't actually want children. My boyfriend has never wanted kids, and for now we don't really care about marriage. :)
At the end Corinne seemed a little sad and that just breaks my heart. I fully respect their decision. Yes, they would be great parents, but a baby is not something fundamental in a life of a couple! Like Corinne said, there are women who can't have a child or don't want one and we need to respect and support these women. I don't want kids any time soon too and people bother me all the time.
I just realised this video made me rub my tummy throughout the whole thing. I'm not even pregnant. I'm a 17 year old lesbian. I don't even want kids. What is going on
SwingingonSunshine yes please!! That would be awesome! I'm pregnant with my 5th kid and want to get my hubby to do this or the thing where they get to feel what labor sorta feels like.. I just want him to know what it kinda feels like for just a min.. Lol men can be huge babies, I think it'd be funny!
Its not that shes just always said she didnt plan om having kids or want to and she seemed to have a bit of fun with all that and it stirred up some confusing emotions for her. Like she said the experiment is over and she feels melencholy about it.
The ending made me tear up a little. It’s completely fine with me if someone doesn’t want to have kids that’s their prerogative. I also feel for women that do but can’t that’s such a hard and unfortunately private road to be on.
Omg corrinne this made me so happy to watch. To see you or rob FINALLY be real on camera and show your true feelings. Ofc you dont want to make the same content anymore, i almost stopped watching you guys because of it. People can sense when youre not into it. You guys should definitely start making content that makes you happy, and if that lowers your sub count at least you know that your new following is loyal and is enjoying it 💕
Yes!! I really appreciate the real talk of this video. The ignorance (usually unintentional) I get every time I tell someone I don't want kids is ridiculous, it's a constant struggle having to explain myself! Thanks for doing a fun video but also educating people, loved it!!
xoxRufus Yeah people often act like kids are something easy that you have to take up your time instead of A GOD DAMN HUMAN BEING YOU SHOULD BE AFRAID OF HURTING. having kids is not a light decision. But it should always be your own choice
You go gurl! ( not assuming your gender, just meaning in the phrase) I love kids and taking care of them but I don’t have any. I’m not ready yet and idk if I can even have any. the insensitive people that say I need to make babies for my mom to have grand babies is ridiculous
xoxRufus same! The realness is what made me like the video. I hate it when people push on why I haven't had kids, like its any of their business, and god if I do tell them I can't I end up getting the pity stair like I'm something to be pitied or I get " but did you know so and so has the same medical condition as you and she just got pregnant " good for so and so now leave me alone lol I'm happy with how my life is, I don't feel like less because I can't have children, and the fact that most people act like you are or your not complete is just bullshit
Whenever I say I don’t want kids everyone is like “oh you’re saying that because you’re young when you’re older you’ll change your mind” and I’m like no just accept my decision and accept not everyone wants that huge responsibility in their life when they don’t even know what to do with themselves
YOU GOT ME. 😂 You're right though, people are way too obssessed when babies are gonna happen or ever happen. If you never want one, that's totally okay! 🖤✌🤘 Your body, your choice! Love you! 😘
I totally get that, I honestly dont know if I want kids. I do know for sure I dont want to ever be pregnant though. kinda sucks because even though I'm only 19 people ask me if I'm going to have kids once I "find the right man" I even told my mom and she just said "youll grow out of that". Why cant my choice be valid.
Your choice is YOUR CHOICE. It's quite rude for people to say that you'll change your mind, because not everyone does. At 17, I was leaning toward not having kids, and now at 31, I am absolutely certain that I don't want them.
This is actually a cool experiment and the message is great. Many women feel pressure, they feel that they have to become mothers at some point and barely anybody talks about the various struggles many couples have. The clickbait-y approach here and e.g. on Instagram kinda destroys the positive influence this could have a bit, but that's just my humble opinion. I'm going to keep watching your channel anyway and I really like you guys.
This actually is a really cool experiment that I would want to try when I'm older because I am physically unable to have kids and this would be like a very emotional thing for me
I love your channel and I like that you have this opinion even though you have two lovely little bunnies. Many mothers think because they have kids, everyone else should. (at least in my experience)
It’s not really clickbait. It’s not like she said “I’m pregnant?” She just said “pregnant?” Neither yes or no. Pregnancy is the theme of the video. You guys are the ones who assumed that she was pregnant and she played with your expectations. Its borderline clickbait at most.
What you describe is a lie. This is still clickbait. She purposely left room for interpretation with her title to cause curiosity. As I said, I personally didn't like it, given the actual positive influence this video could have had. No problem, if you disagree with that, but clickbait is not the same as plain lying. There are many levels to it and I assume Corinne is well aware of them.
i feel this in my soul just got married and everyone keeps asking when we're having babies -.- ................... they should just be happy with their 4 grand puppies and 2 grand kitties and leave me alone lol
Man Corrine got real at the end. Honestly you two are just really funny yourselves. If your moving away from diys whatever you do i want to see more authentic rob and corrine.
Corinne, all joking aside, thank you for this video. You said a lot of things that a lot of people needed to hear about couples/women who choose not to (or can't) have children, and how the rest of us need to treat those choices with respect. Thank you also for shouting out Planned Parenthood, who does indeed provide valuable resources for people about reproductive health and reproductive choices.
Agreed. I know I want to be a mom one day, and there a lot of good reasons for that, but not everyone is emotionally or mentally equipped to be a parent. There's nothing wrong with recognizing that about yourself and deciding against having kids.
moral of the story, don't ask or pressure anyone about kids because that just adds to the stigma for people who cant have or don't want kids for whatever reason. SO STOP ASKING THEM!
yeah if you're not going to help raise them then it's none of your bloody business. Like lady, I am not going to put my body through pregnancy and raise a kid for 18 years just because YOU think it's time for me to.
My parents were trying for a child for nine years after they got married. Can you imagine how painful it was for them to constantly have people telling them that it was time they had a child? *Never ask someone about having children unless you literally see a baby emerging.*
As soon as I saw the thumbnail I was like, "Corrine doesn't want children". Then as soon as I saw she was "happy crying" I was like yeah, not pregnant.
I think you and Rob would be great parents, but I also respect your choice in choosing what’s best for you. But since there were three cats on your shirt, maybe you could get another cat and name her Hermione...?
It is far to often that children are brought into this world for the wrong reasons. I truly respect and appreciate that you and Rob complete each other. If more people could only find that person whom completes them without the complicated mess of adding children to fix, improve, or fulfill there relationship.
I never wanted to have kids, I knew from very young that kids were not for me. From very early in our relationship, my husband and I had the kids talk, we both agreed that we didn't want kids. It's essential for you both to be on the same page. If we had opposing opinions it would not be fair to both of us. But people REALLY don't get it, they always try to convince us how awesome it would be to have kids. Not everyone wants children, it's absolutely normal and we do not need lecturing. Enjoy your kids, we will enjoy our freedom.
I thought that I wanted kids when I was younger, but, the more I am near kids, the longer I don't want any. Especially with mum baby sitting one of my uni friends kid all of the time. He misbehaves, doesn't listen, and does a screaming match when things don't go his way. I know that it is not every kid. But, everyone has moments like that at that age and I don't think I would be able to handle that and the responsibility of having a kid of my own that young. I think I can for teenagers, but not young children. Besides, if I do want to look after someone, I could always foster teenagers or adopt them.
Tazhie Nunurbusinezz not every person who has kids are miserable. I love children and want one, but am struggling to conceive. I knew from an early age that I wanted to be a mom. So if I can't have my own the old fashioned way, I'm going to adopt
Emm Jay wtf is your deal, She expressed her opinion and honestly you seem bitter; did you regret having kids and are projecting that discontent with your life and expectations on another? Some people aren't cut out to be parents and know it and are happy to make the choice to not have them. Did you listen to the video at the end? Do you know how many people have kids and treat them like disposable utensils? I’d rather people choose not to be parents for whatever reason, than to hear about how another kid is born into this world with unsuitable/reluctant/uninvested parents. OP is giving back to children, while maintaining their choice and lifestyle. Go do something worthwhile with your life rather than shitting on people's life choices.
Awww you kinda missed the opportunity to do some weird pregnancy DIYs, but I guess you could still do them. How much unsolicited creepy advice did you get throughout this experience?
watching this it didn't even strike me as very different from your usual content, and with that I realized I don't watch it for the diys, I watch it to see you guys hanging out and having fun!
I had a good laugh at this one! As someone who does struggle with fertility I understand completely when you say don't pressure etc. Not everyone wants kids and that's 10000000000000% okay too! Next is Rob's turn to wear the belly!!!
You did the pregnant belly, Rob should have to do labor simulation. Where they hook you up with electric pads and simulate contractions, etc. That would be great
Thanks so much for the end part of this video .. I have a six year old step son and every one always asks me and my husband if we are going to have another one together truth is we have been trying for 4 years and it just hasn't happened. But people don't really like that answer and always want to give advice we don't need or want 🖤
I want from laughing to crying at the end.😭 my miscarriage made me never want to have kids cause of fear of it happening again. Ur right people have different reasons for why they don’t have kids and every time someone asks it’s like a little slap in face because if they only knew!
Corinne is forever the cat and plant mom! I really appreciated the bit at the end, just because we are designed to have kids doesn't mean we have to. 💕
so my comment was featured on this video and after watching this video I, 10000% regret commenting anything about questioning whether or not you guys are gonna have kids. it was way out of line in my part to question you and rob. to also none of my business. i just wanna day i’m sorry Corinne and Rob. Love you guys❤️
I really appreciated you talking about getting hit by feelings over the photo shoot. It's kind of interesting just seeing loved ones go through pregnancy and into parenthood and just sit with my own feelings of joy and excitement for them, and my own firm decision to not have kids, and that weird melancholy of "it's not something that I want but I'm still sad that I'll never have those moments". Anyway. I think you handled the "wearing a pregnancy belly for a time" with more tact than I've seen other channels do.
I decided at age 8 I did not want children. Everyone laughed and said I would change my mind. Well, many many years later I am still happily child-free, and shall remain so.
I know social media gives us the illusion that we're friends with people we've never actually met, but PLEASE DON'T ever ask someone you are not personally close to why they don't have children or when they plan to have them. For that matter, also stay away from asking long-term unmarried couples when they plan to tie the knot. If they haven't done those things, they have their reasons, and if they haven't talked to you about it, it's because they don't want to!
I liked the end when you had that real emotional moment. I'm almost 40, I can't have kids & my husband and I decided early on we didn't want them. It took a lot of soul searching to come to any conclusions. It's also rough when most of my friends have 2 and 3 kids...this was a great video & I would love to see more of these types of videos. You are both great people & create great (and hilarious) videos!
I was about a month pregnant 12 hours after finding out, I miscarried. A lot of the people close to me know and they've asked when we are trying again and I tell them I'm not sure if I can go through that again. I've had people that don't know ask and I just tell them that if it happens it happens. I really want to be a mom and I've talked with my husband about adopting and he's for it.
Sussarunt Mood not sure. We're not in the best place for either. 1 bedroom apt and getting ready to move into a full household with family till we can get on our feet
Something a lot of people don't think about with youtubers is as you've said, maybe they don't want kids, but also maybe they aren't comfortable showing their kids. I'm not saying you have a kid, I'm saying there are some youtubers that do, but don't want their kid to be shown
