29:43 "Don't live your life in fear" is great advice for anyone..Love the podcast because in every single episode,you can always leave with amazing advice
@21:00 👏👏👏👏 So on point Katie thank you. I'm 40 with no kids and it's 100% financial. I'm a passionate artist who has always prioritized my personal artsy fun over everything else! I don't have extra for a kid and would have to switch paths completely in order to do so... and I'm okay with it because it is apparently God's plan! I'm not anti-kid, Ive just always followed my heart and this is where it has led me! And yes I would never want to bring a child into a poverty state, a child deserves much more!
Discussion in this podcast was filled with sharing both sides of each point -positive/negative. Always appreciate how Josh and Katie express their honest feelings and also express how the other side may feel. Everyone’s core values are different and play a big part in how they will respond to reasons why they want or do not want children. Great podcast! Give it a listen!
17:35 On the Pledge of Allegiance part, my school FORCES kids to stand. If you don't, you get kicked out. If we have so called "freedom", kids should be able to have their own opinion and values on what they believe or don't believe.
Everyone as kids under 18 should definitely stand. Elementary and middle schoolers are not capable of knowing the full aspect of what the pledge is and how it came about. So glad your school does that!!
It even being a question of why people don’t have children is so annoying. Some people genuinely just have no desire and that’s completely fine. Josh had said what would you do🙄 you can do so much without kids. I got what he was saying, but it came off to me as what would life be without a child by the time you reach a certain age. Yes life with kids is fun, but it’ll also be fun without kids. This is coming from a 20 year old that wants kids in the future!!!
You both definitely will be the BEST parents!!! Also if you ever need a nanny, let me know! I was a nanny for 10 years before having my 4 kids!! I also live in Gilbert Arizona!!! But, seriously I know you two will be amazing parents to your sweet baby girl!🎀
Hi Josh and Katie xx Can you guys please do a podcast on the journey of starting your own buisnesses (with J80FIT and J80Beauty) I am 18 and in school and wanting to start my own clothing line and skincare line. It would be huge if I could hear from you guys how you guys started!!
Jasmine is a super mum and this episode is definitely one of my favorites..It was super interesting to listen to/watch and I know you guys will be amazing /loving parents to baby girl🥰💞
same in my school. but it's always rushed and not how it used to be. people talk over it and look at their phones. i am a firm believer in it and not everything has to be turned political, however the pledge is to show how those people sacrificed their lives to give us our country. And some people say that we don't have a free country or whatever, but i don't think that should matter because people would damn we'll be complaining if they lived somewhere with a king and a queen lol (no offense to people that live in the UK😌)
@@wisey274 I completely agree. It’s sad. The point in saying the pledge isn’t because we have or don’t have a free country. It’s so that we can keep the hope from what our country once was when we were free.
This video made me love you guys a million times more! I couldn’t agree more about children in school and the pledge of allegiance! Love y’all, I love watching your videos, can’t wait for every daily Vlog! ❤❤❤
40:50 such a good point, I truly believe love is the most important thing in the world, it's the first fruit of the spirit in the bible, if you do not have love you don't have the other fruit of the spirit, it is so terrible living in a house with no love, you grow up thinking everyone hates you, no one actually likes you, you do not know how to love people and when you do get love it feels weird, and you convince yourself its not real, and you don't love people you tolerate people
Please don’t be those people always asking when people are going to have kids😅 coming from someone who has been trying for almost a year now, I DESPISE every time someone asks me when I’m having kids. I know it comes from a place of love and is half joking, but it is already so hard and don’t need the constant reminder that I have not been able to conceive for close to a year now
Honestly, I was not ready when I got pregnant at 21 and had my son at 22, but I wouldn't change it for the world. He is this bright light that brings so much joy to the world. So many people tell me I did an amazing job, and i'm just like "Its all him" God truly has the perfect timing when it comes to kids; even if it doesn't work the way you think it will, they are always a blessing. As for not having kids because of bad childhoods. I had a really bad/messed up one and it pushed me to break the generational trauma and no my kids don't worry about me going off the wall on them and while we don't have a lot of money, it doesn't stop them from having an amazing childhood from what we can do. Having a kid is all about sacrificing things for their betterment, and I'd give my legs and arms if it meant their life doesn't go to shit at any part of their journey.
One which I did not catch is when the mom has a sickness like childhood Diabetes which makes it a very high risk for both the mom & baby. A lot has to be talked about and decided.
I don’t wanna have kids because I’ve never been in a healthy loyal relationship. I just got divorced recently (I’m 29) and I don’t feel like kids would be appropriate to have with the “wrong one” and now I don’t know how to trust myself to choose correctly. And yes I fasted and prayed and “knew” day 1 that my ex husband was the one for me. And I kept getting sent “signs” that he was and we DID get married. So now I feel like I’m insane for having faith at all in a God that I don’t know if I believe in anymore. So talking about another relationship let alone kids.. it makes me cry.
i know it is hard to believe but God always does stuff for a reason. He makes you go through hardships to experience triumphs ❤ and some people don't seem to go through as much but that's gods choosing on who he believes and deems is the "special" one
I'm a mom of three and kids change absolutely everything!!! Not one thing is the same. No showers by yourself, no breaks, no ability for date nights anymore. I feel if you have money life with kids isn't as hard but if you're struggling there are days i just cry and just wish i could have one day for self care but it's not ever going to happen. But i love them and their reactions and how they see the world is the sweetest thing ever. And i dont regret it.
@Divine date nights are just not the same at home kids c9me out of rooms and I can't turn mom mode off. Time is not the issue it's the $100 for babysitting plus whatever your date costs. It takes me two days pay to pay for the sitter and then another day for the date.. it's hard . I just get annoyed by this part not being spoke about. I even have a masters degree lol the sitter gets more then I do. Wrong career.
@@larac.8797I guess you're right,I thought you were talking about babies😅and I really hope you can find a way to still have date nights or something that works for you🥰..I totally understand your frustration about jobs too but family could also offer to babysit while you go on dare nights
Why do you say all this stuff that's a lie? How can you not shower by yourself? My husband was totally fine with me showering..... why do people say that? It's so weird. Date nights? There is such thing as a sitter lol and you can definitely still have intimate moments when your child is around or sleeping. Kids are really not that big of a burden if you actually love and care for them how you're supposed to. Sure kids are annoying sometimes but I never looked at my kids as a burden and I had my first one at 17.
@Mary Chantler well going out for a sitter is at least $100 for night. Daycare is $500 a week. My spouse works 7 days a week so can't exactly be there when I feel like taking a shower like this morningmy kid was screaming for me the entire time and had to get out with shampoo in my hair. Lol nothing a said is a lie. I love them they aren't a burden but it is definitely not easy and your life 100% changes. Like grocery shopping requires two carts one for them one for food. It's a huge adjustment.
18:55 If you consider home schooling,that might be a great option because they don't have to deal with bullies and all that.. 20:02 I actually saw that comment on a short you guys posted saying "great, another couple adding another baby to the already overpopulated world"🙃
With homeschooling- I agree with the bullying thing but many social skills and interactions with other children are developed in school environment. But I agree with you on that 💖
what's so funny is that the world is actually severely underpopulated from what studies said back in the 60's lol. there was talk a while ago with covid going on that in some countries people lost a lot of their population and people were going to have to have 3 kids each just to get back to where they were before 😂 People did say that in a couple years it was gonna be mandated in some countries for everyone to have at least 1 kid because we are so under populated as a global population!!!
18:00 sooooo true, and I am so thankful you shared this point of view. I am an educator, and it always blows my mind how many kids not only do not stand for the pledge but don’t understand the REASON we stand for the flag. It is also so sad because this has changed drastically right after my generation. We ALL had to stand for the pledge every morning and recite the pledge. I miss those days, and I love this country.
I have a 13 year old and an almost 3 year old. Both girls. The little one can’t wait to go to school and the older one likes school. But if the covid vaccine becomes mandatory in order to go to school I will be homeschooling and it will break my heart because the little one cannot wait to go. I don’t know what your take is on the vax but if you’re against it like me would you opt to home school your children?
I agree, I also don't agree with the gay pride push on kids. Leave them alone and let them live their lives. When I went to school that was never even a topic of discussion, kids are at school to learn, leave the birds and the bees to the parents.
So excited to listen/watch because you guys hyped it up so much..5:30 People need to stop being so negative about having kids talking about how your relationship is over,your life is ruined,you would never be able to do what you want,e.t.c
I've always had seizures and other medical issues and because of the seizures I was told that I would never have children but I now have an 18 yr.old and he is very healthy and smart!
You should invite to the podcast Matt and Abby Howard because it it will be interesting both of you now that she's pregnant as well because I would like to see other people here on the podcast as well if it's possible
17:35 thank you for talking about this Katie! I graduated high school last year and my senior year I was one of the only kids that stood for the pledge. People make it so political when it’s not, it’s just respect.
Everyone has their own rights we don’t have to stand for the pledge people my color get shot for no reason no one died for “our” freedom we can’t walk on the street without being shot at. And just stop cutting each other off
I do the pledge of alliance everyday day in school and we all stand for it Katie is right it is also about respect for those who have died for our freedom ❤
I started bawling when Katie started talking about their kids on chirstmas in the future. Im sersouly so excited for you guys and I can't wait to meet Baby Girl through your channel!! 100% agree with Katie on the pledge of elegance, the school system scares tf out of me!!! They force you believe certain things, instead of allowing kids to form their own opinions!
