Having kids isn't worth it 

right?! That's the most unbelievable thing about this sketch.

I thought the human race would die in the year 2106

It does not. Been there nobody is left. Dogs run the planet. They developed thumbs and took over. Cats and squirrels are extinct.

Not really. U did also imply aliens invaded and there were mixed "race" babies. I assume thats what causes the extinction of "human race" as there would be a new hybrid race in charge 😛​@@julienolke

It wont..

Viciously accurate 😂

And the line about aliens right before it 🎯

Funny. But really, it’s about selfishness and materialism. Childless women are not happier.

I think it's a give and take at the moment. like, the child themselves makes most parents happy, but everything else associated with having children, other than the joy of the child, sucks @@davidapoland

​​@@davidapolandnot really. It's about how modern society expects and pressures women into having children, caring for them and paying for their expenses, but give no financial, emotional or really any kind of support to mothers.

Possibly because there is absolutely no shortage of humans. Breeding isn't done for the betterment of humanity... at all.

Yes, but also it's pretty appalling how we treat those who cannot breed, due to sterility, sexual orientation, or even just those who choose not to. There is a LOT of pressure to conform to certain expectations... which those who doe bear children will then be punished for participating in if they do. Bleck.

@@JayCGypsy One of my friends felt it was his obligation to carry on the family name. Smith.

It's not appalling if you just looked at how breeders are treated in every other species. Dogs don't get maternity leaves. They're just there out on their own scavenging for food, being cautious of not getting killed, dying of infection hunger etc.

​@@johndorian473 that is so stupid.😂 Dogs have evolved to have an easy birth with multiples, who are independend after a few weeks. They also don't live in a society. Take bees or ants, where their whole state is there to care for one mother and her babies. Take most birds, where mother and father care together for the eggs and little ones. Or Pandas, who don't breed at all, of their conditions aren't met. When there is a food shortage and you are hungry, don't complain, just do it like dogs do, hunting your food but without hands....

Yeah, on one hand in my country the governement wants people to work for longer in their life, because apparently pensions are difficult to balance on a nationnal scale, on another hand the same governement doesn't really care to make it easier for people to raise kids (kids who are the future workers who will contribute to pay the pensions of old people through some taxes on their future salaries).

@@bobiboulon Tell me about it. My country (and Julie's, actually - Canada) is desperate to get our population up, but they're struggling to increase the birth rate, so they're increasing immigration. That would be fine *except* that immigrants get here, realize they can't afford to have kids either, and now we have an even larger aging population than we started with. Sidenote: I am currently 7 months pregnant. So I'm set on this decision now lol.

@@Ad_Inferno kids are a hoot. Congrats.

@@douglasmaclean5836 Aww, thanks so much. My stepson will be 15 when his little sister is born and he cares exactly as little as you would expect from a teenager - though he's very money motivated and therefore is reasonably amicable to the idea of babysitting. 😂

@@Ad_Inferno that's fantastic and whether he admits it or not he's going to hopefully love the promotion to Big Brother 😁

Privilege and hard work.

She’s probably overwhelmed and struggling just like most mothers in our modern world. Looking put-together despite that is another one of our sad societal pressures, which causes them to suffer in silence because everyone thinks they’re “slaying.”

You're only slaying if you're dumping your kids on your parents forgoing your parent responsibilities by being a boss babe

@@400_billion_suns Ya, the toxic positivity of fake it till you make it makes people seem okay wither they are or not.

Fair enough. I can only say Julie is slaying at her career right now. @@Esfuerzo31

I doubt that would last until that far in the future

Powerball gal here. This made me giggle. 😊

It would get her enough money to have kids though!

It was the time traveller's last shot. She should have thought of that in advance...

Lol

Mental note to self - do not sneak a Julie video in the office. People notice it when you laugh out loud...

Hear that. And it’s so hard to articulate what you do. Cause so much of it is just tending to this lump that does nothing but eat every 2-3 hours, which can take up to an hour each time, then poops liquid and pees about ten or twelve times a day, and then you have to do tummy time and put them to sleep, give them baths. They always soil their diaper as you’re about to leave the house. Then they’re hungry again. And by the time you get where you’re going you’ve put about two hours of work into getting there and have maybe an hour to enjoy yourself before the baby needs feeding and a change and wants to be held. I love my kids but I’m so glad this little guy I’ve been bouncing to sleep for 30 minutes now is our last

That's also if you work for a company that is nice enough to offer maternity leave. I agree going back to work was more relaxing than watching a newborn

@@tracy3418 Where are you living? Sounds like a dystopia, because it should not be the decision of the company at all if it offers maternity leave or not.

@@martinl2509 Ah, I’m going to guess you’re not in the U.S., because there’s no place here that requires paid parental leave. There are some limited requirements for unpaid leave, but they don’t apply to most employers. Yup, we’re backwards and barbaric.

@@literaterose6731 Yes, thats correct I am not from the US I am from Germany. A friend of mine is pregnant at the moment. In Germany there are 14 Weeks maternity leave, 6 weeks before the date of birth and 8 weeks after that. Depending on your job in can be more, for example my friend is a nurse and because thats dangerous for the unborn baby she is not allowed to work. So she is in maternity leave since here third month of pregnancy. But it doesnt stop there. After the baby is born both parents can get "Elternzeit" which is "parental leave". The basic form is 14 Months but you can double it, but then you get less money. Speaking of money, the State got your back and depending on your normal income it covers 100% of your normal salary if you have a low income and 65% of your salary if you have a high income, because everybody should be able to spend time with their kids and see them growing up. In other European Countries its quite similiar and I dont understand why you US folks dont want that? I guess its because your polticians tell you thats communism? But its not, its just social and the right thing to do. Fight for your rights! It was a long journey to that in Europe as well.

Exactly the point of the video. We must start breeding now! 👱👶

Sometimes I wonder how we survived this long. We developed great technology and our medical treatments are good. Yet our way of thinking is stuck in the past.

OK, Doomer!

@@thomask4978 hehe I think you mean stuck in the present. Mothers have been revered for millenia - it’s only now that we look down on them.

Too* Sorry

@WouldntULikeToKnow. Don't be sorry. Once is a typo. Twice is a failure of the education system.

​ * To real Julie, too real

That was the most nauseating line in the skit (multiple times). I've heard way too many people act so callous just like that. "I'm not going to help you. Have a _great_ day!"

At first I thought this suggestion was to have the kids themselves be born with 25 years of maturity and I thought it would be brilliant. Skip almost all the messy parts.... 😅

Define “stable” (I’m thinking it means wealthy)

@@chrisoffersen Several months of expenses saved up, yes. Also a long-term relationship and no desire to go through other big changes like moving of starting a new career.

Mey hubby and I can't afford kids, only cat 😅

@@notme222 Several months of savings, in America at least, is wealthy. >70% of people don’t have that here. But, Julie’s Canadian… I wonder how that situation works out up there

Hehe thanks for watching

@@julienolke always. I'm in nursing school and work full time in an ER. I need humor as much as possible

Ain't that the truth

Oh no. How dare you be responsible for your own children? 😂

Teach a man to fish or give them fish? I don’t think it’s so straightforward

@@fox1actual People are being responsible. By not having kids/aborting unwanted ones when they cannot afford it. If the republicans don't want to support families, they should STFU and not tell people to have kids and not have abortions.

@@soulfuzz368 Absolutely doesn't apply to this situation. People work their 9 to 5 and still can't afford kids. What do you expect them to do? Work two jobs, have zero free time, have no life outside of work and their kids... just to have kids? No, thank you.

And having time to watch real housewives. lol

I know I’m supposed to say, “oh my god, Julie’s so inventive and original and funny and insightful”, but all I’m thinking is “dayyuuuum, Julie!”.

thank you!!

She got pregnant, so she could realistically seem pregnant in videos. That is dedication to the craft. Hollywood types, think they should get Awards for eating less and working out for a role. She went through a pregnancy to do sketch comedy. Hard-core acting.

Well, seeing how time traveller Julie has been 100% correct so far, I think we should take this seriously.

Dying alone with animals sound horrible 😂

@@Abuqital2000 Sounds lovely to me!!

Who is this we

Ya but then Julie would have to actually understand how inflation works. Error in the video.

Selective memory and survivor bias ar good to not being in cognitive dissonance...

Yeah you will continue to find that hilarious when your bedpan is overflowing in the budget nursing home where they stick you...

They flex and guilt trip while happily collecting child payments & tax deductions and using social infrastructure paid for by the childless .

That is absolutely fine your free to do that. But you probably should get a dog

big fan

@@julienolke Oh, sure. You would say that. I want to hear it from the girl herself. I seem to remember she wasn't too enthusiastic about that bump you made her carry around, either.

@@blindleader42Yeah, mirror Julie is still bitching about that. “Thanks for the stretch marks and stress incontinence, girlfriend”

@@blindleader42Tried to reply earlier with a snarky comment from mirror Julie ; “thanks for the stretch marks, sleep deprivation and stress incontinence, girlfriend”

Sounds like you're ready to overthrow capitalism

@@joechapman8208 no, not overthrow it, just make it better.

Yeah. Sigh.

You're the best!

Oh, so you interviewed thousands of people with and without children and came up with some way to measure the amount of happiness each had? Because that is the only way you could possibly confirm such a thing.

I think they confirmed that it's true for themself.

@@BagelsGirl She has never had kids, so she has nothing to compare to. So she has no way of knowing that she is happier now than she would be if she had kids.

Come back and see me when you're 60 lol

She and hubby need 2.1 kids to replace themselves, plus a little extra.

@@imranqqq7307 Aint nobody got time + money + energy for that.

Thank you!! 😁

Strong SW vibes!

Yeah... I'm currently in a good place of my career...

Also got just a hint of "Prince of Darkness" vibes, haha.

Except I would expect Obi-Wan to be watching episodes of Chopped

lol

still tbd

The key to convince her to make a child is both promising and proving to her you will do at least 50% of the care work and mental load.

@@pirlie oh I said I’d dip for the first three years and send a pack of beef jerky to her once a week… for the child. Did I do that wrong?

Don't worry, it is fine in other parts of the world.

​@@dmitripogosian5084not in Europe

She had one, she should have more.

Unless of course she's having children without a husband

Oh I love seeing youtubers i like supporting each other!

​@Mausicoco321 me too! We love you Charlotte and Julie!

No, BetterHelp - weren’t you listening? ;)

thank youuuu!

It always is.

The book was good. The movie...

too bad sponsored by a horrible war company, serving israel
