  1. people with kids are so weird about people who don’t want to have kids. also, do these hosts not research about the people who are coming to their podcasts??? the name of this podcast is so apt

    Why the fuck does society continue to pressure women, in particular, about having kids?!? People should respect when someone knows themselves well enough to say they don’t want to be a parent.

    I do not care about people saying how having children is the best thing ever blah blah blah, ESPECIALLY when its coming from men

    It was ridiculous like even 20 years ago to push kids but like NOW? Fuck right off thanks.

  5. Let the girl live her life. I am with you sister. I do not want kids either. This world is way too effed up

    This is one of my problems with the smartless podcast. They do some great interviews and then they do some where it’s clear they really don’t know the person and barely did research. I know they talk about it in a joking matter but they sometimes do it for real.

    They asked Macaulay Culkin who Brenda song was when they interviewed him…

    I wish people would normalize that some people just simply do not want kids. It’s not always about the “right person”. Some people live very happy childless lives 

  8. “WHY DON’T YOU HAVE KIDS?!?!?!”

    -People with kids to anyone without kids.

    Not only am I not obligated to tell you why I don’t have kids, you’re an invasive asshole for asking.

    oh that’s so weird of him to say especially since I’ve moaned to his voice as Nick Wilde.

  10. They literally sound so shocked when she says she doesn’t want kids. This is the 21st century ffs

    You know what, i just found out that my friend don’t like chocolate in any form. I don’t understand how is that even possible, but i keep my mouth shut.

    children needs parents that wants them. As someone who definetely wants kids one day, i totally understand why people don’t want them. If Charli is happy with her choice, good for her

  13. Charlie is working on so many cool projects and has a really interesting career, multiple hits and invented brat summer. If I was a fan, I’d be bummed about this line of questioning.

  14. He didn’t bother to research her and even listen to what she said 5 seconds ago, which was that her stance could change, but right now it’s not in the cards. Why can’t people just respect that and not be weird about it?

  15. Not all men with a podcast, but always a man with a podcast.

    Seriously, take microphones away from men. They’ve had enough.

    One of my fav things about Charli is how she’s normalized so many things. Being like 30 doesn’t mean you have to stop clubbing. Also you don’t need to have kids. She makes me feel younger. I love her so much so leave her tf alone!

  17. talk-spontaneously on

    She actually has a song on brat about this topic called “I think about it all the time”

  18. Why do people act like this when women say they don’t want kids, particularly other men? Especially when it’s the woman who carries the majority of the physical and emotional burden when raising children. Reminds me of Timothee Chalamet saying that people who are child free by choice live ‘bleak’ lives.

  19. That’s a crazy thing to say to a married woman. Like I think there’s a way to ask that question to a single woman who expresses being unsure, but wtf
