Love my one and done, but to each their own. You gotta do what’s best for you and your partner (or not), and to put some sort of “normal” to a choice is hella annoying.
Me and my husband are CONSTANTLY interrogated about why we don't want kids. I've had people actually respond with ANGER when I tell them that we don't plan on having children! It's so nice to have more men and women come out and talk about this. Thanks for the video!❤
My father in law once threw a wet pacifier that belonged to a child that was visiting the house at my leg. Saying “ you know you want one of these”.😖 Another time :/ My brother in law pretended to set his nephew he was carrying on my lap , while flying his nephew over to me he stopped the child mid flight and said to me in front of everyone “ never mind we all know how much you like children. I went upstairs and I cried... People suck 💔 I’m 37 and I still don’t want kids 🙂🥰 Hugs to anyone dealing with hurtful people for not wanting kids. My hubby and I have our puppies and plant children , they are too much for us sometimes 😂
@@sarahp5437 I TOTALLY relate to that story. ESPECIALLY being a woman. We're made to feel like we're selfish and lazy😕 I just think that human beings are SO much more than that and there is so much we can add to this world other than just children!
If you don’t want kids...don’t. They are a huge responsibility and expense. They def need parents who want them and are willing to sacrifice for them. For example, for years I never did anything for myself because my kids needed things. My kids always came first. They are grown now and it seems so nice thinking of myself.
Fern, in all honesty, I don't typically "love" "pot and chat with me vids" BUT I LOVE yours!!! I love your vids because of the style in which you deliver, the way you handle your plants and share, and the care you put into your plants, life, etc. Thanks for ANOTHER awesome vid! Also, I love when you put out longer vids like this!
Hey fern ! lil tip: when you’re trying to take moss off your root ball, you need to wet it. It gets off wayyyy easier and it’s also easier by touch to know what is moss and what is a root. Your roots are less stiff, so less prone to breakage ! ❤️
A Tip I learned when having to repot my nepenthes is to swish the rootball back and forth in water. The sphagnum will swell up and make it easier to loosen it.
100% with you on not having kids. I’m an elementary school teacher, & I absolutely ADORE kids, but I feel like a lot of women our age are leaning towards no kids / having kids much later in life than previous generations. I also totally relate to people kind of freaking out when they hear you don’t want kids. It drives me nuts when people say “oh well you’re young, you’ll change your mind”.........😒. Definitely a personal choice with many things to consider, one way or the other.
I just don't know how people are having kids. Where do they find the time and money? Is everyone relying on friends and family members while they are working. I just don't get it. My husband complains about not having time to do the things he wants but then he says he wants kids. I'm confused. 🤣
Absolutely a personal choice. I have a niece & nephew, and my sister and her husband are 100% happy to be all about the kids! That’s amazing for some people :). As far as the financial stuff goes, I definitely agree. Even if my partner & I wanted to have kids, as 2 college graduates with salaried jobs, we could not afford it. We are able to pay our mortgage on our tiny condo, cover our other bills, & save a little bit. I have no idea how we could possibly afford a child(ren). Different times we’re living in....
@@brookesoltis4537 Same with my husband and I. Degrees, paid off cars, house with mortgage, and full time jobs. Where is the time and money when we can't save much after paying all the bills?
Sorry for the long comment, but I know you have raised this really important topic a few times in your videos/insta stories! Conversations with people around ethics are always so tricky. I feel this way discussing being vegan, or ordering things off of Amazon. I think you're right that we all just need to focus on what makes us feel good, and remember privilege and cultural sensitivity when raising these issues (I would never suggest everyone needs to be vegan because I understand the significance and nutritional needs for many Indigenous populations for example, and that people have differing accessibility to food alternatives). Personally I have found it helpful to share 'successes' with people, especially those with similar privileges (for ex. wow I found this item for sale on this website, even cheaper than Amazon! or wow I just tried this delicious recipe last night, was really quick too!). I think people find that easier to engage with vs. conversations around whole lifestyles/patterns of behaviour but it can help demonstrate that many of these 'shifts' aren't as overwhelming as they sometimes appear to be (again, if you have similar level of privileges). Our society does make it very difficult for many people to make moral decisions ('there is no ethical consumption under capitalism') so I try to be understanding but help people and myself make more informed decisions when I can! Heavy topic, but thanks for the planty videos that help make the world a brighter place :)
thanks for sharing! i love your approach and your point of view. if you don't mind, what websites do you use in place of amazon? i've been trying to shift from ordering from amazon to more ethical/sustainable shops. do you have any suggestions?
I’m sorry, but I’m sitting here giggling away as you don’t use the planting tray! I’m sure you could use it to pour the soil into the pots, and you could place the pots inside the tray to contain any spillage instead of having the pot beside the tray. Anyway, thanks for the giggle! 😂💕🇨🇦
I agree so much about the kids though I want my own (adopted and such) but people get touchy when you say that you don’t as if they are gonna take care of the kids for you😂. Super chill vid love the Hoyas
Love the q & a. Getting to know you better has been fun. I'm an "old lady" and enjoy hearing about your life - personal and plants. Your plants are beautiful. I only have a few plants mostly ordinary ones. I did recently get a Birkin and I love it! 😀🌱🌿
Same. I feel like it’s so hard now and there are a million reasons why it’s not going to work for people. I feel like in this day and age, I have a hard time understanding how people can make it work to have kids.
Same . Or people laugh at me and tell me I don’t know what I want in life or that I’m too young to know that.... I find it odd that I’m too young (mid twenties) to know that I don’t want kids but I’m not too young to know that I want to commit to being a mother and bringing a child into the world . Or I’ve had people treat me like I’m heartless . It’s so annoying . It’s not anyone’s business
I've found easier to make people uncomfortable answering what they are already going to say... Why? Because I'm very selfish... They don't know what to say to that.
you said you hate when people ask why? if your not having kids and not to question others life choices but here you are questioning someones personal life choice to ask "why" , so your doing what you said you dont like. when others do it. there's nothing wrong with being curious and asking why to these big life choices us humans go through . You have the right to explain or not.
it is not our responsibility to preach veganism, it’s the governments job to put regulations on mass farming and environmental damage done by corporations but you’re right it’s hard not to feel bad
I love feeding people amazing food and then being like “it’s vegan!!” Especially my dad, he’s very meat & potatoes but he loves my cooking and is starting to come around to understanding the benefits of plant-based eating. I was going to ask you about your experience wth leaving nursing but you did address it a bit, I get that you don’t want to get into the details. As someone who also left the healthcare field during the panoramic I think I understand what a relief it must be for you (final straw etc). Just being happy is an amazing life goal and I’m happy you’re moving towards that 💜💜
I didn’t know you were vegan! That’s so cool! I get so nervous to tell people I’m vegan because it really opens yourself up to being the butt of the joke or to receiving a lot of backlash (which makes so sense tbh lmao)
Awww yes I've been vegan for over 6 years now! I used to feel like that too, when I first went vegan I had so much anxiety about telling people. Now most people in my life are vegan too so I'm very lucky lol.
Watching your videos is super relaxing for me, it gives me something non-stressful to focus on for a little bit. Love the tiny hanging pot that is so cute.
I’m in the process of buying my first home and man, it’s stressful and it’s not my dream home. It’s soooo outdated but it was built in the 1920s and has a very unique charm to it! If I ever have the money to build onto it, my dream for a house has always been a “sun/rain” room and keep my plants in there! Witchy vibes 🔮✨
Yea buying a house is so stressful! We had to settle on a house just so my husband could get a life. He had a total commute of 4 hours a day to and from work.
And I'm 100% with you on the whole getting back together and how it feels thing, I'm going through something similar, and it feels like no time passed while also feeling like we both grew from the space, and that what happened between us was something that needed to happen so that we could come back stronger. I think sometimes breakups definitely need to be permanent, and I also get judgy when I see people get back with exes sometimes and I have to try and smack that out of myself, but I think for a good few cases that breakups and space are exactly what certain relationships need to come back even stronger. It's a case-by-case basis, lol. Which is why I'm so happy to hear and see that you and Shane are doing so well, y'all deserve it xx
I feel the same way about veganism, I don't mention it because the reactions would upset me too much and I can't deal with that😅 In my experience it's others being preachy non-vegans rather than me being a preachy vegan, yet vegans are so stigmatized. I'm curious, is Shane vegan? Love your content, sending lots of love from Hungary!🥰
I only remove sphagnum from roots when it's moist. Your plants look a bit dry and makes sense the sphagnum is not come off without breaking the roots. Just thought that may help what you're doing. Albeit you're focused on the questions and may have skipped that :)
I didn't realize that you were vegan!! And I might wet the sphagnum Moss when taking it off, I think it breaks apart a little easier that way! Thank you for the long video 💕
Did you happen to watch Potted together recently? They mention you in such a sweet way during a drinking game. 💕 So glad you're back and feeling better.
Great video! I have found it so much easier to talk about veganism since I became a registered dietitian, people kind of have to take what I say about food seriously, and it is not super random for me to bring up questions surrounding food. Generally I think asking questions to people about what they think about meat, the animal industry and veganism, and following up with why's, is one of the smoother ways to go, compared to telling them what you think.
I really needed to hear what you said at the 20 minute mark. I’ve been set up to stream on twitch for months and have no reason to not start. “You just need to start”. Thanks Fern ☺️
Great one Fern. I love these chit-chat videos. I find them really relaxing. Also if you have any nutrition questions, I'm a registered dietitian so I'll help you anyday ;)
I would keep your nursing license active just in case it's something you ever need to do in the future. You worked very hard to go through school for that. don't just let the license go. You never know if you will need to or even want to do it in the future.
Love this! I’m from Victoria, and am living in the USA right now. Oregon is our next spot but right now stuck in Vegas. We moved from CA to Nevada last year and my plants hate it just as much as I do lol. We plan on getting back to Victoria for food one day- if I don’t want to live in Oregon forever 😂
SO ready to watch this!!! I love repotting LOL to a fault🙃definitely going to have to check that mat out. also I just have to tell someone, I’m picking up a silver sword philodendron in a few hours and I’m just beyond excited😅
This was such a fun video! And girrrrrlllll... the bidet life literally saved us last year during the dire TP days. Now I'm spoiled and DETEST using other toilets lol
I've only been following a few months ago this was so fun to learn more about you! I did night shift nursing for over 10 years. I'm convinced it's why I can't remember $hit anymore, I think it killed my brain cells.
😅 forgot I asked that bidet question lmao. I also can’t have one installed where I live too I feel your pain! also omg I’m so glad you’ve brought up not wanting to have kids, I get so much shit from most people in my life about not wanting them esp from family and partners. ty for using your platform for unapologetically saying you don’t want them! 💖
Oooooo i also have scorpio and libra in my big 3 i am libra moon, scorpio rising and cancer sun ☀️ and don't want kids either my pets and plants are my kids. I don't understand why people get so weird when someone doesn't want kids! I feel like its pretty normal and common now..
The houses in England are insane too. Houses that would be £190k are going for £100k more! I do not get it 🤯 a lot of the country is also supported by the furlough scheme which means your job may or may not be secure. It’s MENTAL 😳
Omg that is funny that your favorite band is la dispute, cuz I used to go to their shows in high school here in Michigan in tiny warehouses lol🤘 Love your vids!
Hey Fern, you mentioned the UK for living there. But did you ever think about Europe in general? Becaaause: Let me tell you: Here in Berlin where I live, it's soo pedestrian-friendly. It's so weird for me listening to CZcamsrs (actually I almost only listen to english-spaking CZcamsrs) saying & seeing that they keep driving a car but talking about "zero"-waste, biodegradable things and general stuff related to climate change. I know the country and infrastructure in North America was made to drive a car, but still: at least I hope to have given the readers an idea of how it can be here here. Cos I am over 30 and don't even think about getting a driver's license. By the way, it's very expensive here in Berlin. Although I gotta say: In more rural areas in Germany it might be helpful to have a car, but in the city it's just not needed. Lovely greetings 🙂
Great, relaxing video, Fern. Thank you. So open & honest 💚. Just wondering, is there a CZcams reason (maybe regarding the algorithm) that ppl on CZcams don't say the word covid? Everyone seems to say "the situation".
Oh no- the Spag was too dry and you shouldn’t have picked it while the roots were strongly attached. It’s ok for plants to be reported with Spag if it cannot be removed - it’s better than hurting the roots.
I am so curious on why you don't want to nurse. No judgements, just to leave to ficud on something else like CZcams I get, I just curious about the finality of your interest in going back.
US is scary, Oregon is becoming scary and I’ve lived here my whole life. I love it but i believe a lot of places in the states are just stained by everything going on and it’s not going away anytime soon.
I live in the US also. We are def falling apart. I am 57 and I notice every time (since Clinton, which was my first election I did not vote Democrat) we have a Democratic President we self implode. I might add here I was raised Democrat. But a totally different Democratic Party. I def would move out of the US if I had money
i was just thinking yesterday, why is it so normalised to ask a couple when/if they'll have children? that's such a strange question!! im not referring to the person from the q&a i just mean in general, especially in person lol
👍🌿 I share your views on children and still have people ask me if we are going to have them...I'm 46 people, accept that I don't want children LoL I love being the fun Aunt. I have two sisters who combined have a team of children, doing fun things for/with them brings me all the child fulfillment I need 😉 Thank you for sharing. Another great video 👍
Yessss!! Can we normalise not wanting to have kids 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Yesssss.
i totally agree!!!!!
Love my one and done, but to each their own.
You gotta do what’s best for you and your partner (or not), and to put some sort of “normal” to a choice is hella annoying.
Regarding the biological purpose of Life, getting No Children at all, should definitely not be normal 😅
Yes please !! 🙋🏻♀️ kids are nice when you play with them and be the cool aunt. Not when they cry at 3am and you have a 7am work call
Omg pls never apologize for long videos bc honestly that’s what I thrive off of 🤩

I could watch a 2 hours Wildfern video!!
I really needed to hear what you said at the 20 minute mark. I’ve been set up to stream on twitch for months and have no reason to not start. “You just need to start”. Thanks Fern ☺️
Yesssss 🥰
Fernnnn why didn’t you put the pot on the mat and repot it on the mat? Hahaha it drove me crazy 😂😂😂💓
Haha! Me too.💕
So glad you are doing good and being happy in life is a must now a days. Loved the video.
early!! love from philippines !
Ah thanks so much for watching!! 🥰
You would look AMAZING with extremely short hair like almost a pixie cut 😍😍
Great one Fern. I love these chit-chat videos. I find them really relaxing. Also if you have any nutrition questions, I'm a registered dietitian so I'll help you anyday ;)
Hi! I just started making content if you’re ever interested in checking out another planty channel! 💚
I would keep your nursing license active just in case it's something you ever need to do in the future. You worked very hard to go through school for that. don't just let the license go. You never know if you will need to or even want to do it in the future.
Love this! I’m from Victoria, and am living in the USA right now. Oregon is our next spot but right now stuck in Vegas. We moved from CA to Nevada last year and my plants hate it just as much as I do lol. We plan on getting back to Victoria for food one day- if I don’t want to live in Oregon forever 😂
SO ready to watch this!!! I love repotting LOL to a fault🙃definitely going to have to check that mat out. also I just have to tell someone, I’m picking up a silver sword philodendron in a few hours and I’m just beyond excited😅
I am so excited for you!!! 😍 thanks for watching x

Thanks for not supporting factory farms, Fern. You make a difference in the world.
This was such a fun video! And girrrrrlllll... the bidet life literally saved us last year during the dire TP days. Now I'm spoiled and DETEST using other toilets lol
Omg I wanna try one so bad hahaha
I've only been following a few months ago this was so fun to learn more about you!
I did night shift nursing for over 10 years. I'm convinced it's why I can't remember $hit anymore, I think it killed my brain cells.
I used to love La Dispute back In the day! Saw them live. But i haven’t listened to them in years!!!
Wahhh I really want to see them live one day!
😅 forgot I asked that bidet question lmao. I also can’t have one installed where I live too I feel your pain! also omg I’m so glad you’ve brought up not wanting to have kids, I get so much shit from most people in my life about not wanting them esp from family and partners. ty for using your platform for unapologetically saying you don’t want them! 💖
Oh my goodness you love La Dispute too! I feel like NO ONE knows who they are every time I talk about them 🥺
I love your nails! I love your videos! I love you! 💚 just started the video and I’m so excited!!!
Oooooo i also have scorpio and libra in my big 3 i am libra moon, scorpio rising and cancer sun ☀️ and don't want kids either my pets and plants are my kids. I don't understand why people get so weird when someone doesn't want kids! I feel like its pretty normal and common now..
Love these repot with me QnA videos 🤩😍
The houses in England are insane too. Houses that would be £190k are going for £100k more! I do not get it 🤯 a lot of the country is also supported by the furlough scheme which means your job may or may not be secure. It’s MENTAL 😳
Okay! That shirt!!
Thank you!
Omg that is funny that your favorite band is la dispute, cuz I used to go to their shows in high school here in Michigan in tiny warehouses lol🤘
Love your vids!
Hey Fern,
you mentioned the UK for living there. But did you ever think about Europe in general? Becaaause: Let me tell you:
Here in Berlin where I live, it's soo pedestrian-friendly. It's so weird for me listening to CZcamsrs (actually I almost only listen to english-spaking CZcamsrs) saying & seeing that they keep driving a car but talking about "zero"-waste, biodegradable things and general stuff related to climate change. I know the country and infrastructure in North America was made to drive a car, but still: at least I hope to have given the readers an idea of how it can be here here. Cos I am over 30 and don't even think about getting a driver's license. By the way, it's very expensive here in Berlin.
Although I gotta say: In more rural areas in Germany it might be helpful to have a car, but in the city it's just not needed.
Lovely greetings 🙂
You look more relaxed! I hope you are doing great, love your content :)
Love your videos ❤️😍
wow...fern....you look very beautiful....your hair color is beautiful.....love your show...xox
Great video. I love the honesty.
Great, relaxing video, Fern. Thank you. So open & honest 💚. Just wondering, is there a CZcams reason (maybe regarding the algorithm) that ppl on CZcams don't say the word covid? Everyone seems to say "the situation".
Yes they can censor/hide videos that mention it
Hi! I just started making content if you’re ever interested in checking out another planty channel! 💚🌿
Oh no- the Spag was too dry and you shouldn’t have picked it while the roots were strongly attached. It’s ok for plants to be reported with Spag if it cannot be removed - it’s better than hurting the roots.
yesssss long videos!!!!
I hope you don't stop doing CZcams videos.
great video! really liked it :)

@@KaylasPlants great channel!! :)
@@feedyoursoul1383 thank you!
We have all the same interests haha. Wouldn't mind you posting what I eat in a day videos!
Lmao not fern repotting outside the mat.
I think the sphagnum is easier to take off when it is wet.
Hope you are having a great day💕n hii from Oregon👋
A pixie cut would be so cute on you!
I am so curious on why you don't want to nurse. No judgements, just to leave to ficud on something else like CZcams I get, I just curious about the finality of your interest in going back.
Great shirt!
Love this potting mat! Did you get it off an Etsy store? ❤️
US is scary, Oregon is becoming scary and I’ve lived here my whole life. I love it but i believe a lot of places in the states are just stained by everything going on and it’s not going away anytime soon.
I live in the US also. We are def falling apart. I am 57 and I notice every time (since Clinton, which was my first election I did not vote Democrat) we have a Democratic President we self implode. I might add here I was raised Democrat. But a totally different Democratic Party. I def would move out of the US if I had money
Tried cassava tortillas and loved them.
did you get those philodendrons from bontanicaz on etsy? I got the same two plants from them a few weeks ago. I love them so much!
would be amazing if you could put the plant names in your bio 🥺💗 love the video
Kinda earlyyyy
i was just thinking yesterday, why is it so normalised to ask a couple when/if they'll have children? that's such a strange question!! im not referring to the person from the q&a i just mean in general, especially in person lol
Show us how you make kale salad
team cool aunty vibes ✨
💕💕💕
I live in Washington.. and wanna move to BC so bad 😩 I hate the states
👍🌿 I share your views on children and still have people ask me if we are going to have them...I'm 46 people, accept that I don't want children LoL I love being the fun Aunt. I have two sisters who combined have a team of children, doing fun things for/with them brings me all the child fulfillment I need 😉 Thank you for sharing. Another great video 👍
It’s waaaaay better to stay in Canada rather than the US 😂 especially since Vancouver Island is probably already similar to the US west coast

Shopify is a good platform to build websites/businesse on :)
