Are you kidding? Its hilarious.

Watching this as a childfree person, I wonder why Ali would have kids and then complain about them? Like it's expected your life is going to change. I get the impression that she wanted kids more than the husband because she said in her previous special she didn't want to be lonely in her old age.

Just because you want something and get it doesn’t mean you don’t have the right to have a hard time or be challenged in life changing ways… also, you cannot always predict how children will affect a partnership (if you have kids with a partner). Sometimes, or a lot of the time, things get really really hard before you figure some stuff out.

Have you ever known anyone with a dog who has never had a complaint or challenge in regard to owning a dog?

To be honest, no. Everyone I know who has dogs loves their dogs and don't complain about the vet bills, boarding fees, pooping etc. I think kids are different because guess who consciously chose to conceive them? Their parents. And when the emotional (and financial!) return on investment doesn't pan out, it's a hard pill to swallow.

And your dogs won't find you on Netflix when they get older, complaining about what it feels like to be their owner.

Hey childfree PP, you are kind of insufferable. Because dog owners choose to own dogs, they can never complain them. Because parents choose to have children, they can never complain about them. Because people choose their career, they can never complain about it. Because people choose be homeowners, they can never complain about their house.

Are you the sunniest person in the world, or the most ridiculous? (And you can't complain about anyone insulting you here, because she chose to engage in this forum.)

You are missing the point. I am not PP. I am a parent (and a pet owner). I do complain. BUT not "in front" of my child, which is what you are doing if you are on Netflix.

Her children are 4 and 6 - they aren't on Netflix unless you allow them to be. And on top of that - her 'complaints' are affording them a lifestyle being mute never would. Private schools, all extracurricular, million-dollar homes. They would have grown up with their parents swimming in debt vs with her success are world's apart.

They aren't on Netflix now but someday they will be able to see it. No one knows how it will effect them. Maybe they will see it something they benefited from (although clearly there are no "million dollar homes") or maybe it will send them to therapy.

It's similar to parents who make their living off their kids being featured on social media. Sure they get great vacations now, free stuff, etc. When the kids are adults and look back how will they view it?

Hard disagree. Being a Love Taza and literally profiting off your children's pictures, anguish, and mental state to make a living is not at all the same as telling your own narrative own stage about what YOU went through in childbirth or early parenthood.

Is anyone here saying that she shouldn't be "complaining about her kids" an actual parent?

I’m not as funny but my kids know I love them so much but also that I was not cut out to be a stay at home mom. They don’t take it personally.

I don't remember her saying anything critical of her kids. Talking about how hard parenting is or how it impacts your life is not critical of children or having children.

There are definitely parents who disrespect and potentially hurt their children by revealing too much about them, but Wong talks about herself. None of her stories are at the kids' expense.

Fair. There is a big difference in the level of exposure. I guess overall I'm less comfortable with any level of making money of kids, even if it's a punchline.

He's too smart and successful for her.

Big whoop, a raunchy comedian who has the spotlight for 15 minutes. Who has never seen one of those before?

Harvard educated with a business sense. He is fine and out of her league.

This is entirely untrue. She’s extremely successful and self made while he made poor business decisions

Well, that makes one more relationship that has failed after years of dating followed by a marriage one person pressured the other into.

Do you actually think the biggest thing kids need from their parents is "Return on Investment"??????????????/

Jeez.

I have argued on this board before: i will never sign a prenup. If it's family money, family should put it in a trust for their grandkids.

She came to the marriage with her talent: I hope he does not get a dime from all the money she made on that talent

I am a SAHM, but not for much longer. I am currently job hunting. I was supposed to go back to work once our youngest went to kindergarten(found a good job), but Covid hit, and we decided to put it off.

I will make more than him in no time. I am the one with the fancy degrees.
