I'm male,42 and i do not want children. I get told all the time I'll change my mind when i meet the right woman. Um, excuse me, but the right woman for me is someone who doesn't want kids. We could get a puppy instead.
Peter Clarke I hear ya.....but at 42 that ‘right’ women of mine (who was 44 at the time), to put it mildly, f**ked up and we were left with a baby. Fast forward 19 years and I would not have missed it for the world....and yes yes I know it was both of us that f**ked up.......😳.
I knew at 13 yo that I didn’t watch kids. My Italian grandmother said I would change my mind, from that time until I was around 30 yo. I’m 69 yo now & have no regrets.
@Marianne Havisham completely agree. My older sister hasn't got kids and until very recently when the old biological clock stopped ticking, she'd get told things like "oh, you're not a real woman until you have kids." I just think if that's the bar, it's been set awfully low. I mean, cats manage it, for God's sake!
UWSGRRRL My sister is 63 and never had kids. As far as she is concerned you have to be nuts to have em. Can’t really fault that logic. She says she loves kids... so long as she can give them back to their rightful owners😊
I guess I'm glad that there are some people who realize that they don't like kids and then don't have any. There are probably too many people that have had children that probably shouldn't have.
Like Sarah, I knew from an early age that I didn't want children (although, as I am male, it wasn't for the same reasons as Sarah obviously). Even as a child I had a very low patience threshold (and how high does that need to be for dealing with young children) and I found other younger children intensely annoying. My mother always used to say "Oh, it's different when you have your own," but I can honestly say, at 47 years old, I have never once regretted the decision not to have children.
YES me too! I've always known that kids are not for me. Some people dream of starting a family from a very young age. I always dreamed of things i want to be and do. My mom says sure she would like to have grand children BUT only if i want them. Like do what makes you happy. I know i would not be a good parent. Some people are made for parenthood and good for them. But i hate when people say stuff like oh you wait and see or what are you going to do the rest of your life. A stupid one is don't you want them to take care of you when your old. Yeah no, i work in a senior home i know how the system goes.
I have never understood why some people try and make others feel guilty for NOT wanting children. I know some females have even been called "selfish" for making the decision not to have children. It was a discussion I had with my girlfriend (now wife) when I realised we were serious about each other.
@Megan Rose he didn’t say it because if he had, he’d have been canceled long ago lmao people make shit up and then think because they saw it somewhere, it’s true.
That's the difference between a person with a funny story, and a comedian. That story was perfectly structured, right down to the end, when she's swearing but it's covered by audience laughter.
I don't want kids. When i first said that 25 years ago i was called selfish and depriving my family of joy. Now my friends have kids because they want to live up to those expectations and some of them truly resent it
I've literally never understood why not having kids makes you selfish. Who are you affecting? The hypothetical, non-existent children that might one day have potentially been born into a family that is neglectful and resentful of them?? Having kids is your choice and your choice alone. No choice about lifestyle is the right or wrong choice. What matters is that you truly, truly want it. Parenthood is a massive sacrifice and one of the most difficult and important jobs in the world. You shouldn't undertake it half-heartedly, out of obligation.
And then later on in life there is so much drama, dependency, and heartbreak as well. You never know how they are going to turnout. Hopefully for the better and they can take care of themselves. Good luck.
"When i first said that 25 years ago i was called selfish and depriving my family of joy." Easy solution: pop out the kid and then give it to the family. "You want it? Here you go! It's _your_ responsibility now!"
I’m 40, never wanted kids, never felt the inclination to have kids and I know in my core that I will never regret it. The world is overpopulated as it is, and I want to enjoy my life while I’m here. Be free, do what I want. In my opinion, birth control is the best invention in existence. Sad that not more people have access to it. Remember, in many countries woman have no say or choices, men and religion control everything. I bet there are a lot of women out there that if they had the chance to choose they would not have children. I live in the free world and I say NO, no kids for me.
Sarah McC is one of life's fighters! In a good and positive way. You can see she...no I can see...I speak only for myself...her underlying fragility and how she was hurt. BUT..she came back fighting and now millionaire ..popular n happy..so she got the final say in things. So point is...GOOD ON U SARAH.!!! 👍
I love kids, but I work in customer service, and when little families come in with little kids, I genuinely feel stressed for the parents. I can't be the only one?
I love how she can toss out words and phrases,thoughts and opinions, that would likely appall people if they were said by someone else;but coming from Sarah they're absolutely hilarious! I've never had any interest in being a mother.I did a bit of babysitting as a teenager,I'm an aunt to three grown nephews(wtf did the time go???)and that's plenty.
John Gault If you can't understand that having children in the hopes that they will care for you when you are old is a selfish reason for having them, then not not only do you lack empathy and the ability to see reason, but judging from your response, you are unable to express yourself in writing coherently and have a huge chip on your shoulder. Take care.
John Gault having kids just so u have someone to look after you when you’re old is truly selfish and wrong. also someone always cares. whether its a carer from an agency or a friend. you are never alone.
I too never wanted children. But because of different reasons. I have a lot of electronic stuff and it doesn't take much to muck up the settings. So when asked why I never wanted kids I tell the inquiring mind, "I don't like people touching my stuff and I refuse to have anything in my house that doesn't have an OFF switch or at the very least a volume control."
Agreeeeed. I think often it’s that they don’t understand the vibe of the show because it’s so different to American ones. Then there’s just awful people like Mark Wahlberg and Harrison Ford who aren’t going to be funny or interesting or charming in any context.
Mariel. I disagree with you about Harrison Ford. To be honest, I assumed he was boring (that's how he has appeared to me for decades) but on at least one of the Graham Norton Show he was funny. The one with Harrison Ford and "Bryan" Gosling 😂
Preach Sarah! I don't hate kids. I just feel very uncomfortable and awkward around them. Don't even get me started on babies and the decibels they can produce. I have sensitive ears and just can't stand the sounds they can make. Additionally to that I just have no maternal bone in my body. Now at 35 I know that's not going to change. It's probably also linked to my asexual orientation. The need or want to reproduce is simply not there. And I'm glad for that because I'm just not cut out for it. I value my personal space and peace and quiet too much and I wouldn't subject any child of mine to a world that is getting worse by the day.
Since kindergarden I knew that I didn't want to have children. Not that I don't like them in general but I never could see myself as a mother. I am now 32 and a aunt which I love to be and really enjoy but I still don't want kids on my own.
I am 39 female and glad to not have children. My cousins are popping them out and I am like not for me. I love my little cousins and my two nephews but knew from my mid 20s no kids for me thanks.
Im right with ya Sarah....although i do love other peoples because i can be the cool Aunt, fill em full of sugar, have a good time and then hand them back and go to bed and have a good nights sleep...no interest in my own because i dont want a little me running around - god i was a pain ill save myself the trouble thanks
My girl..born early..slept more than 7 hours...straight out of womb....never cried or fussed as an infant...EVER....the first time she really CRIED...freaked my husband and I out! She was 14 months...I put her on formula...she was having her first "solid" poop. LOL
I've been to Malta. Quaint place, but never get a wife from there. Maltese women go from 20 to 40--there's no middle ground. They're very attractive, but once they pop out a kid it's cellulite Heaven.
Hahahah 😂 I just look at kids in general and think that - even though I don't particularly hate kids. It should just be a well known fact the kids are dicks.
I don't either, hard to know if they truly mean they hate them and should probably give them up for adoption and stop making their child's life a misery. Or if they understand pre children the amount of work it takes and the stress involved so mean they hate what comes along with it. I love children when they're being funny and cute. But get stressed to the point I just want to get away from them when they're crying or fighting and nothing works and having to do that day in and day out ultimately for someone who never asked to be born and you chose to bring here, yet moan about having to sacrifice your own freedom for them seems insane to me.
And yet you felt the need to watch it and comment. You are one of those guys who hits on a woman and then calls her fat and unfuckable when she turns him down. Did mommy not hug you enough as a kid?
I'm male,42 and i do not want children. I get told all the time I'll change my mind when i meet the right woman.
Um, excuse me, but the right woman for me is someone who doesn't want kids. We could get a puppy instead.

Love has Jason shows real genuine interest in other guests everytime he's on the show. Real nice guy.
Number7 ‘I loved working on game of thrones because I got to act out raping loads of beautiful women ‘
Yes he’s a real gent. 😩
Megan Rose so I’ve just made that quote up out of my own head, rather than seeing the interview myself.
🤟🏼 yes that’s exactly what I did
@Megan Rose he didn’t say it because if he had, he’d have been canceled long ago lmao people make shit up and then think because they saw it somewhere, it’s true.

Truly an art form
I just love the way she talks

thats so sad. yeh be good to your parents but don’t live your life according to what they want for u!! u have to live for you!
I bet their children resent it too.
And then later on in life there is so much drama, dependency, and heartbreak as well. You never know how they are going to turnout. Hopefully for the better and they can take care of themselves. Good luck.

🙌
I've never seen the other guests on the couch angled towards another guest like that like they are ABSORBED
it's been a while since Sarah's been on the couch - good to see her back and right in the middle too
Jimmy Savile wouldn't agree with you there.
Agreed xx
She’s so well put together and confident and funny in this interview
She's so lovely.
On a couch with Jason Momoa, I wouldn’t be able to form a coherent sentence
Alan Cogan Yes, yes that was my point.
Sarah McC is one of life's fighters! In a good and positive way. You can see she...no I can see...I speak only for myself...her underlying fragility and how she was hurt. BUT..she came back fighting and now millionaire ..popular n happy..so she got the final say in things. So point is...GOOD ON U SARAH.!!! 👍
Omg, she's phenomenal.
Legit only going to watch this episode for Millican
Sarah Millican is hilarious.
BedsitBob Always
Her deadpan delivery reminds me of Rita Rudner.
I love kids, but I work in customer service, and when little families come in with little kids, I genuinely feel stressed for the parents. I can't be the only one?
Alex Lawrence “why have u done this to yourself “😂😂😂😂
Im 45 I never wanted kids, and didn’t have any. Luckily my partner didn’t want them either. We are freeeeeeee hurrah!
I got my vasectomy at 32. I’m happy with the number of kids I have, which is zero.
It's always nice to hear celebrities mention my (incredibly small) home country Malta 💓
I love how she can toss out words and phrases,thoughts and opinions, that would likely appall people if they were said by someone else;but coming from Sarah they're absolutely hilarious!
I've never had any interest in being a mother.I did a bit of babysitting as a teenager,I'm an aunt to three grown nephews(wtf did the time go???)and that's plenty.
Jason Momoa is a masterpiece
Khal Drogo was pissing himself.
That was fantastic.
maeikuulesind And funny
Not having children utterly Rocks!
Even if you HAVE kids, there's no guarantee they're going to care for you when you're old.
John Gault I don't believe that is a very good reason for having children. It is quite a selfish one actually.
John Gault If you can't understand that having children in the hopes that they will care for you when you are old is a selfish reason for having them, then not not only do you lack empathy and the ability to see reason, but judging from your response, you are unable to express yourself in writing coherently and have a huge chip on your shoulder. Take care.
John Gault having kids just so u have someone to look after you when you’re old is truly selfish and wrong. also someone always cares. whether its a carer from an agency or a friend. you are never alone.
@John Gault sounds like a you problem. Billions of people are forgotten.
Not sure who she is..but right there with you. Being a mom ain't for me. Like my freedom way to much.
Susan Burris Her name is Sarah Millican. She's a hilarious UK comedian. You should check her out on UA-cam
love her
How brilliant a couch was this!
Sarah Millican has been to Malta...
I too never wanted children. But because of different reasons. I have a lot of electronic stuff and it doesn't take much to muck up the settings. So when asked why I never wanted kids I tell the inquiring mind, "I don't like people touching my stuff and I refuse to have anything in my house that doesn't have an OFF switch or at the very least a volume control."
my hero
I love her so much more now :)
Oh my god, same.
Love sarah to funny
Love her!
She’s the greatest! I’d love to see her again on this, particularly with someone like Cruise or De Niro…
This is like how Graham used to be. Its when he gets the multiple Hollywood guests that it all goes to pot
Some of them are quite boring.
Agreeeeed. I think often it’s that they don’t understand the vibe of the show because it’s so different to American ones. Then there’s just awful people like Mark Wahlberg and Harrison Ford who aren’t going to be funny or interesting or charming in any context.
That totally depends on the guests in question. Some of the bigger hollywood types have been great on this show.
Gerald McBride True. Bill Murray and Matt Damon spring to mind. They were awesome.
Mariel. I disagree with you about Harrison Ford. To be honest, I assumed he was boring (that's how he has appeared to me for decades) but on at least one of the Graham Norton Show he was funny. The one with Harrison Ford and "Bryan" Gosling 😂
Love that lady

Eyy she's been to Malta 💜 Bonġu min Malta

I love kids but theirs people don’t like kids but have kids anyways they make poor children life miserable
'Shis class!'
Netflix, we are begging you, give her several specials...
There is more than one streaming service.
I am 39 female and glad to not have children. My cousins are popping them out and I am like not for me. I love my little cousins and my two nephews but knew from my mid 20s no kids for me thanks.
Who is that incredibly attractive guy with the long hair>
Matthew Munson
Kahl drogo
I'm a little bit in love :-)
Okay, I'm a LOT in love :-)
Jason Momoa
jajaj this is so funny love this
Lol
😂😂😂
Im right with ya Sarah....although i do love other peoples because i can be the cool Aunt, fill em full of sugar, have a good time and then hand them back and go to bed and have a good nights sleep...no interest in my own because i dont want a little me running around - god i was a pain ill save myself the trouble thanks
Wtf !! I have to subscribe now this is a joke !!
Who's the bearded lady on the end?
Nicholas Dukic Jason Momoa
+@ILoveMycroft That's Sarah in the middle. I meant to her left.
My girl..born early..slept more than 7 hours...straight out of womb....never cried or fussed as an infant...EVER....the first time she really CRIED...freaked my husband and I out! She was 14 months...I put her on formula...she was having her first "solid" poop. LOL

Malta did it. Awful place.
I dont understand people who say they dont like their kids....
do they look at their childhood pictures and be like "WHAT A DICK"!!!
doesn't everyone?
Yes.
Hahahah 😂
I just look at kids in general and think that - even though I don't particularly hate kids. It should just be a well known fact the kids are dicks.
Arindam Chowdhury Until 10 kids are sociopaths. All of them! So yeah I do.
I don't either, hard to know if they truly mean they hate them and should probably give them up for adoption and stop making their child's life a misery. Or if they understand pre children the amount of work it takes and the stress involved so mean they hate what comes along with it.

I can't understand a word she is saying.
70% of women want them , as long as people don't diss children then I think most people don't care.
Cite your source?
50% now, and going down.
And most people care, they insist you MUST have them because you're a woman.
What a weird story to tell in front of those guys. Tbey all looked so uncomfortable.
They didn't, they were laughing because they're not moronic like you.
Oh God keep her away from kids
worst 'comedian' of all time.
Thomas Williams you clearly haven't been to a local open night then...
Thomas Williams Well, not of all time...but still!
You must not know Dane Cook.
*Best
You have kids, don’t you.
Her voice is so awful, I cannot watch anything with her in it, turned the video off after ca 14 seconds
Kirsch Rot I'm sure yours is like flowing caramel
Kirsch Rot I have to agree and it's not the accent it's I don't know what, an off key tone or something. It really grates.
I only can form an opinion after I have watched something, generally I like the GNS
Sarah Millican are literally the first two words in the title. Why the fuck did you click?
I love the geordie accent. I could listen to it all day.
I remember years ago, when she first started in comedy, when she was still cute. She just looks like a cat lady now. Happens to all of us I suppose.
anonUK nothing wrong with being a cat lady!
How does loving cats change your appearance?
Safe to say that kids don't like her either. Mine just called the cops because I told him to watch this.
Why is she on tv?..who would spend money to she her?funny as the toothache.
And yet you felt the need to watch it and comment. You are one of those guys who hits on a woman and then calls her fat and unfuckable when she turns him down. Did mommy not hug you enough as a kid?
Thousands of people do, they're not stupid like you.
