As someone who loved kids and has three, I totally support people who don't want kids to not have them. Just because those of us who want kids want them, is no reason those who don't want them should want them.
🤣 I should try that the next time my doc tells me that sterilization is a complicated procedure and I should wait (I'm thirty-feckin'-three! How much longer do I *need* to wait?)
@@sharlharmakhis280 It's not even that complicated lol, I mean yeah it's internal abdominal surgery but it's laparoscopic, hardly any tissue needs to be removed even when you go for taking the tubes out altogether not just cutting them (woohoo for full salpingectomy, gimme that low failure rate and reduced risk of disease please!), and it's not like one has to hunt very far in the abdomen to get to these organs. I just had my tubes taken out and endometrium ablated (or, as I like to put it now, I ripped out the SATA cables and fried the motherboard) and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made, and every body is different but personally I had a super easy recovery. I say if your OBGYN won't listen to you about honoring your autonomy and your decision (even after you've gone through the right conversations to reassure them that you're fully informed, which is important, of course), then go find another OBGYN who will respect that it's YOUR choice!
What an awesome earworm! I'm a born uncle - I _like_ my nieces and nephews, but I _love_ being able to hand them back after a bit and shoot off to the pub (and yes, I have a pet or two.) Great song! :-D
This is exactly how I feel! I'm the goofy aunt who got to go to Disney with her niece and nephew, brings them awesome presents for holidays and birthdays because I work in a toy store, and best of all, get to sleep in and waste my money on said awesome toys and other things for myself at the end of the day XD So many people seem to correlate "I don't want to have children" with "I hate kids", when it's absolutely not always the case. I get along great with kids, I just have less than zero inclination to create or raise any myself.
I’m also a P.A.N.K. (Professional Aunt, No Kids). I love being around my nieces when I get the chance, but I’m so glad it’s my brother and sister-in-law raising them and not me! Even if I had a boyfriend or husband to have kids with (which I don’t, and I’m not actively looking due to family obligations), I’m starting to lean towards not wanting to have children because: 1. I feel like my optimal time to have had children has passed (if I was going to have them, I should have done that in my twenties; I’m now 32), 2. Pregnancy and childbirth can be risky or even life-threatening for the expectant mother and I’m not sure I want to take that risk, 3. My mother’s side of the family has a history of Alzheimer’s (I’m now caring for my mother, who has it, full-time), and I don’t know if I have the genes that cause it and I’m scared I might begin to decline at a relatively young age; I don’t know if I’d want to put my own child in the position of being my caregiver, knowing what comes with the responsibility of doing so, and 4. With the exception of my nieces, my experience with taking care of other people’s children has been more stressful than rewarding. I don’t know if I could handle that all the time. I feel for him when he sings, “I don’t want kids, I just want pets!”
72 here. No kids. Cut off even a chance in my 30s. My husband of 30+ years feels the same. I told him while we were dating if he wanted kids, I wouldn't be providing any. Life is grand without kids. The best part? You don't have kids who try to take your money and put you someplace you don't want to go when you get old. It's absolutely our decision. It worked out great.
Sounds like another bloodline line lost full of fake smiles. You did you and hopefully your not realizing the downfall but I disagree with the entire concept.
@@TheSmurf307 sounds like you are just completely incapable of understanding the entire concept that maybe some people don't want children - slightly ironic as that's what the entire song is about lol. Both me and my wife have absolutely no intention of ever having children. They just cause hassle and stress, add unnecessary and awkward restrictions on your life and a total waste of money in both my opinion and her opinion! I do however disagree with the "I just want pets"... I don't want kids or pets. Pets are just as bad as kids.
YES! EXACTLY. Everyone keeps telling me "Oh! That'll change! You've still got time! Your biological clock will start ticking..." Blah blah blah. No. No thanks. I dont want kids. You just want me to want to have kids.
Yep. I have dated besotted men that would tell me how many kids they wanted to have--with me. When informed that I did not, in fact, want children, to a man they blithely informed me, "That's alright, you'll change your mind!" I didn't. Didn't marry them, either. Didn't usually go out on another date with 'em, tbh...
First day of school I remember vividly looking around at all my classmates and thinking "I will NEVER have children." Some 40 odd years later it was the best decision I've ever made...
A correct thing to say (which you still shouldn't, just let people be) would rather be: "You MIGHT change your mind". But as said, no one else's business (apart from possible partners ofc, one should always be open abt such things in a relationship) but your own. Have a great life!
No kids for this girl either! 44 and it’s kind of a done deal now. I love kids, just never wanted any. And I’m good with it. No regrets at this stage. Love this song!
Actually the fertility drop rate his highly over exaggerated so that wouldn’t be an issue if you were ti change your mind Though even then there would be adoption which IMO is usually a better choice than bringing another ducking into the world
LYRICS: I'm tired of conversations with my friends and family About what I think the future holds for my best girl and me I fully understand exactly what they're driving at And unfortunately my answer tends to leave them somewhat flat Unsubtle hints are met with awkwardness So I feel I am required to confess I don't want kids I just want pets I can't foresee that this will be one of my great regrets Your kids are fine Cause they're not mine To me a life lived without children sounds divine! I try to make excuses when folks arrive with their baby There's nothing I dread more than someone handing it to me But declining offers to have them rested on your knee Makes one a pariah within polite society The room looks round with eyes of pure dismay And no one will believe it when you say... I don't want kids I just want pets I can't foresee that this will be one of my great regrets Your kids are fine Cause they're not mine To me a life lived without children sounds divine I know children can be fun And yours I'm very fond of, it is true The advantage is that when I grow weary of their noise I can direct them back to you I don't want kids I just want pets I can't foresee that this will be one of my great regrets Your kids are fine Cause they're not mine To me a life lived without children sounds divine I don't want kids I just want pets I can't foresee that this will be one of my great regrets Your kids are fine Cause they're not mine To me a life lived without children sounds divine
As a gay man, I've never, ever entertained the notion of having kids, although some do. I used to be a teacher though and loved it, some of the best days of my life, but I could send them home at 3.30 and not have to concern myself with actually bringing them up, although, in a way, I probably contributed to it! 😉
Your stuff is all hilarious, I love to hear you sing But I'd appreciate some lyrics 'cause I can't hear a fucking thing. I wouldn't say you're boring, uninspired, or inane But I'm not a native speaker and your language is insane! Your writing is pure brilliance and I'm your biggest fan, But god gave us closed captions! I only hear three words in ten.
I got fixed when I was 21, I knew I didn’t want children and I prefer the company of a pit bull to a child ANY day of the week. I want you to know you’ve just sang the anthem to my life sir, I commend you.
58 year old woman have no kids and it is GREAT. I have paid off my mortgage, have no debt and minimum stress. All my money is MY OWN. Freedom to do what I want is great too. And I don't have to be bored to tears stuck in boring mombie and kiddie groups.
A story my mom tells a lot is that when I was two i was coloring and blurted out "I'm never having kids because they'll ruin my art!" Big surprise, but I'm 29 and at no point has that opinion changed.
@@MrGustaphe in a shocking development, after having seriously this conversation, she isn't my girlfriend anymore... Perhaps I really should have gone for the song, even with the risk of our bearded poet sweeping her off her feet.
Just listened to your album. It's like you have taken the life of my significant other and I, and put it to music. All we need now is a dog to save from the winos in the park.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 There are no words for exactly how much I appreciate this song!!! When you say you don't want kids, everyone thinks it's just a phase or you haven't met the right person. Nope! Not today satan!!
YOU ARE A FUCKING LEGEND MATE! This is a song that perfectly describes me (this one and I've no fucks to give), my ringtone, my alarm and my theme song from now on!
I hear ya sister! It’s so annoying! Then there’s always the, “what does your husband want?” As if I’d marry someone who wanted kids and I am just the evil woman keeping him from them. He won’t even hold a baby. LOL
@@blueshoes915 Tell me about it my boyfriend doesn't feel like he kids to fulfill his life but he has said that if he was to be a dad then he'd step and be dad which is a good thing
❤ One of the songs on my happy playlist! Had I known this song much earlier, would have chose it as our wedding march-in song while we dance our way in! ❤
I remember once telling that I never wanted kids and Ma was immediately "That's a good idea. They are a pain in the ass." Thanks a lot, Ma. Love ya. :D
It’s nice to hear a positive melody for those who quietly go through life being constantly questioned and examined. We don’t do it to you who chose children for your own reasons, no need to bombard those who chose not-children because they’re different to you. Love this guy.
I don't want kids and to be honest even if I will end up having regrets when I'm older I would much rather regret not having kids that regret having kids.I can't imagine anything worse than bringing an innocent life into this world and then after some time you realize that being a mother isn't for you so you either walk out on your child or you stay and raise the child but sooner or later they will realize that you don't love them and they will suffer because of that.
Sir, you already blew me away with the No More Fucks to Give song, but this just made me earn a whole nother level of respect for you! This song is me! I seriously don't want kids either!
30 years old, watching the world burn while world leaders pour gasoline on it. i think: NO WAY am i raising kids in a world with such a bleak future... also realizing i'm a selfish, introverted bastard who literally does not feel comfortable unless i'm alone with no-one else physically there to bother me for any reason, i think: NO WAY am i going to ruin a kid's life by attempting to raise one with my worldview and attitude... some people are not meant to be parents and i have zero problem admitting i'm one of those.
If someone tries to dump a small child on you, I find looking horrified, then quickly looking round the room hopefully saying 'Its like cats right, grab em by the scruff of the neck?' this has worked well to stop them depositing child in ur lap.
Ditto. I am much happier ruining my carpets. My current puggle (Darwin, aka Lord Puggleston the Turd on some occasions) is more than enough fun and it's easier to find dogsitting services. :)
This is my national anthem, knew quite early on that I didn't want them, they make a mess and are hella loud, love my friends kids and nephews and that's enough for me. Dogs instead of sprogs! 🎉😂

You know, his "No More Fucks To Give" song in a sound clip on TikTok, I wish someone would put the chorus of this on TikTok as well. Along with Garfunkel & Oates' "Pregnant Women Are Smug."
I honestly feel like you've taken this from my head and given it lyrics and music. Never wanted kids, but pets aplenty and I'll never change my mind! :p
I am so happy that this is a song. Man. I don’t want kids. Why does that make me a pariah? I like most children - when they’ve been raised right - but it’s not for me. I’m not into engineering a new human. I’m interested in engineering other things. Why does That deserve social scorn?
The instantaneous switch from ‘concentrating on difficult finger work’ to ‘enjoying life more than you could ever dream of’ is hilarious and truly wonderful (2:14)
As someone who started saying she was going to grow up to be the aunt who looks good in a swimsuit (my brother does want kids) at the age of 10, I love this song so much
