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. [/quote]

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?[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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

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.)[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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?[/quote]

I see a lot of adults recognize that their parents were happier working instead of staying at home, and a lot of adults say that their SAHMs were unhappy and should have been working. I would be uncomfortable making jokes about my kids with such a large audience but the only jokes she made were that she wasn’t cut out to be a SAHM which isn’t exactly  making jokes at the kids’ expense.

It’s all the other jokes that would make me personally die of embarrassment if that were my mom. [/quote]
