That's just like Nigerian parents. They tell you not to have a boyfriend and stay away from boys. Then they ask where your husband is at 23. Lol!
😂😂😂 true. My parents were the same. I'm from South Africa
Oh please. Russian family members are like "you should study and study" and the moment you have a diploma "when are you marrying and having kids?, You are already *insert your age*"
My Black American mom did this. 😆
Zimbabwean parents too 😂
No it's international. I'm African but live in America and it's the same way. Lol
His mom sounds awesome. We need more women who teach their sons about this stuff about women.
Baie snaaks!
That's the way to raise gentleman
Does he have contact with her?
What Trevor said about the kids, that's what I'm thinking more often than not. I must say Trevor is one of the smartest and gentle comedian in the current time. Respect for Trevor.👊
Yes
Brand Manager, is your journey in this life. If you don’t want to have children, don’t do it just because is expected by others. There are many ways you can help children in this world. There are soooo many out there needing guidance and love right now. Is such important decision to let others influence us to do it. Good luck with whatever you decide.
The irony of course is that it's precisely those people who would most likely make great parents, and actually raise a child to be a kind decent person, who are in doubt about ever having children. Whilst plenty of people who should never reproduce do so, repeatedly.
The world doesn’t really need more people, it just needs more Trevor Noahs!
I like this interviewer, she's good at opening up people's experience.
@@angrybear86 Anele mdoda tts her name from south africa
anna phelps & they are best of friends
@@sanmak3283 Her name's Anele she's a South African comedian.
They are close friends
I have a friend from Haiti that she reminds me of so much. That woman can get ANYONE to open up about ANYTHING!
Ive always wondered about Trevors father. He talks about his mom quite a bit, but I had never hear him talk much about him.
Aries GodofWar he talks a bit about his father, more in his book. Still not much known snout him: family in Switzerland, why he moved to SA? How did he make a living? What is his opinion of his son’s great success? Did he ever cone to the shows? Etc.
@ThatOneAsianBroChick This is so sad, Im only 37 and I cant believe this happened in my lifetime. Apartheid ended in the 90s when it should have really ended in the 60s 70s like all the other laws that oppressed black people but really shouldve never been created at all ☹
Yep its true Swiss people want everything to be precise and efficient.
Im swiss. Lol
not in basel
Swiss watches lol
As a german, I think
“Define precise, what you mean?“
...
😄
🇨🇭❤️
no 1 HAHAHA
Frank Dierolf Hahahha
For those getting upset at the interviewer for saying Trevor will change his mind, get over it. It's just an African thing. It's rare to find Africans who don't want children, so the lady's response is spot on. He may or may not have children and she will still tease him about it. It's not as deep as some of you make it to be.
So truuee
Trevor’s stance on not wanting children is VERY Americanized. Every other culture in the world pops them out.
"But... there's so many people. Why make more?" This is me since I was 16... now 25 and still asking myself the very question.
You look amazing on the picture. Just wanted to compliment. Have a good day :)
@@Alexandr_Silver wow... have a great day too... you made me smile.
That answer made him seem antisocial. Because we like people?
@@Nazaba09 lol there's nothing wrong with being antisocial as long as you're not murdering or torturing people because of it.
I'm anti-social (or asocial, if i want to be politically correct) lol and i actually think those who *act* social, then go on murdering sprees are scarier than those who say "hey, how about we stop making more people?" lmao. It's my messed up brain at work.
Have a beautiful day.
@@Nazaba09 how? You would only get that assumption by being a non-thinker. Unlike us, you dont have a philosophical way of thinking, you dont really put much thought into thinking. You dont question things or think with purpose. I agree with Trevor, I dont think about having kids, and when it does come up, I do question why. If I have kids, I would have them with purpose. Having kids is not going to make you less lonely or feel more whole. A lot of people have kids thinking it’s going to make their lives happier or more purposeful and that isnt the case at all. That’s why so many people are bad, narcissistic, neglectful parents.
I love that he is concious about kids and it’s so true what he says … you don’t have to have kids to have purpose in your life ❤
Of all the people who should have children, Trevor Noah is on the top of the list! He's so smart, gentle, funny and humble - the world needs more Trevors. And imagine what an amazing dad he would be...😍
Trevor mother is very down to earth human being. She has brought her son with such care and wisdom. I completely empathise with her and with great respect. Blessings.
Trevor Noah you are amazing as a person and as a comedian. I share the very same ideas about children. I wish you all the best. Love from Portugal.
THANK YOU!!! Every time someone asks me when I’m going to have kids the first thing I say is WHY? and I should probably be in a happy relationship first, lol... I really have no desire to have kids, but if I ever do I would much rather adopt and try to make a kids life better that didn’t get a good start.
She is an awesome interviewer 👑👑👑👑👑❤❤❤❤❤ they have wonderful chemistry together , God bless her ,she is a QUEEN
Ok but why is she so sure he'll change his mind why should he? Not wanting kids is cool - Trevor doing well for himself yo this guy is awesome if he doesn't want kids he doesn't want kids let the guy live and be amazing. Don't tell him "you'll change your mind" let the man decide and be cool with his choices; his life not yours.
River_Rose13 Well he might but I think for Trevor. He sees how awful the world is everyday. It's his job to give commentary on it. But who knows he might find someone he wants children with. If he's aware of bratty kids - he'll try hard to raise his children not to be like that.
I know nobody asked for my opinion, but I'll give it anyway... If I had a DAILY show, a family 18 hours away, books to write and the absurd amount of books to read (because he is very well informed on every guest he receives and their work AND their books!), I would think twice before having children too. There is no space NOW in his plans. Men don't have to worry about waiting too long. I, myself, lost my chance - but every time I imagine a child in my life, as it is now, I thank God that never happened. I'll write other books and plant other trees.
@@PatriciaBalan let God out of it. The truth God wants humanity to have kids...nonsense!!!
@@iloveemmaemma9913 I thank God for what I have and for what He decided I would not have. I never leave God out of anything, specially because other person's opinion about what God wants. THAT would be nonsense!
@@iloveemmaemma9913 you are insane for thinking that you know what "God" wants. You probably don't even know what you want. Lol
Not everyone wants to be a parent.not eveyone wants children. People can aspire to different dreams.
Why force yourself And have a lif and just make them and yourself miserable ?
Like trevor said there are already too many people and there are kids waiting to be adopted
Yes this part I didn’t like about the interviewer, why forcing him” you should, you should” I hate this
Alexfolledemoi you are absolutely right
Trevor: "Build a house." I love Trevor for that.
I never had kid, never wanted them,, never regretted having them, my life lies in my dog!!! I m now 65 still feel the same
I want meet his mom he speaks so much if her!! Trevor too.
both of his parent are awesome persons...
2:44 the subtle way Trevor goes “is that..” is SO endearing because she seemed to hesitate, as if she thought her question was weird.
Talking about his mom x dad awesome!
Love you TREVOR NOAH MY DUDE 💙🙏🏽💙🌹💙😍💙👑💙😊💙💯💙✝️💙👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
So true what he said about the quality time, and the kids. Lol.
Admirable adorable brilliant that is Trevor, keep teaching Trevor!🕯⛱
I hope Trevor changes his mind about having kids. He needs to pass those lessons he learned from his parents to his future children. He'd be giving the world a wonderful gift. The world need more people like him and his mom.
He can, has, and does pass those lessons, through comedy, through people, through interviews. You dont have to have kids to teach people. Some people want to have kids, if they wanted to, have kids with purpose. Stop having kids for the sake of having kids.
You havent done anything special by procreating. The world isnt a better place because you decided to have kids. 🤷🏾♀️
The way Trevor looks at Anele. Genuine respect and love there. Coming back for the 3rd time. I loved this interview.
Could I love this man any more? 😍
Listening to these stories got me thinking deep.
mind-blowing
I hope he does have kids. I think he’ll be able to instill values most kids abroad do not get. He seems genuinely down down to earth. We need more celebrities like this.
Respect n love from bangalore.God bless u bro.
"I don't want those 'things' ". Meow Trevor.
Little Joe I want to give these things to a woman.
And hopefully you also want to help her take care of those "things", meaning children.
This interview made me fall in love with Trevor Noah. Please marry me! I’m single!
He's content in himself. . . . .'Who are you by yourself?'.👌 . . . .He is who he is cos that's who he wants to be
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 bravo!! Exacto! Stare in the eyes 👀
I ❤️ Trevor
I am one of dying fan , the way he express .....
Trevor really said "Anithi" 😂😂
"Who are you by yourself' I dig it
Beautiful man !intelligent ,very conscious of human nature and world affairs , an excellent example of a young man in our future👍👍😊❤️
Love the interviewers sass and pizzazz. She's incredible
He have points. I love him.
THANK YOU TREVOR! For speaking about the why-no-kids issues!
WOW TREVOR ! JUST AMAZING 🙏😢😊💙. EVERY TIME I LOOK AT YOUR INTERVIEWS NOT ONLY DO YOU MAKE ME LAUGH.... BY THE TIME THE VIDEO ENDS ... I ALSO FEEL LIKE LATER ON THAT DAY I'LL REMEMBER SOMETHING FROM THE INTERVIEW. IT'S LIKE I TAKE SOMETHING WITH ME OUT OF YOUR VIDEOS. I LEARN SOMETHING. AND I APPLY IT TO MY OWN LIFE TO BE A BETTER PERSON . JUST LIKE YOU SAID WHEN YOU SIT AND GET TO KNOW YOUR FRIENDS WE ALL LEARN SOMETHING FROM ONE ANOTHER MAYBE LEARN SOMETHING THAT WE ALSO CAN APPLY IN OUR DAILY LIVES TO HELP US BECOME BETTER PEOPLE. I LOVE ONE ANOTHER BETTER. TO RESPECT ONE ANOTHER BETTER. THANK YOU FOR KEEPING MY MIND ENTERTAINED AND EDUCATED 🙏💙
I listened his book. Everyone should read or listen it.
Trevor you are my role model 😎😎😎
I love this man. He's smart, gentle, and now that he said that maybe he doesn't want to have children, I love him even more. Not everyone wants to have kids and as a woman, I don't need a child to feel fulfilled.
great person came from great parent.
Exactly!! I'm not in a rush bruh, just chill and enjoy life
Very good insight on getting to know an arranged relationship with a person particularly a parent
I have been watching this interview for years until today...... Trevor you are the smartest and gentle comedian in the current world. Actually, Is been a long trip for me with my project working on my book regarding only this conversation cause those things are poorly educated children so I saw is better I combine does all make just a small book for parents out where.
Your ideology on children is AWESOME. Another reason I love love you Trevor...
I also dont understand why people have to make children.. We all have choices and not others.
The choice to raise them is a commitment for life. I appreciate those who can dedicate and be responsible for children with all their ❤
Spending time with purpose. Indeed.
I totally agree with the kids part. Kids are not for everyone, I’m in my 50s and am so glad I didn’t go down that path. If you want one, why make more? So many children NEED loving parents, adoption is admirable.
5:45 🥺💔I am crying
True Trevor there are so many people, even l want to help those that where not fortunate enough to see their parents
Trevor is Awesome!!
African mom are strong women's cheers for them one of them raised me proud strong enough
'build a house' lmao
As a man who feels I would be a terrible father and who only finds value of my life in what I've built with my hands, that speaks to me...
Yes, vindication. This is exactly what I feel about having children.
Awwww... my crush on him grows! 😍
Good interviewer
Am going to read his book.
Amazing read.
You can also try the audiobook. He narrates it himself.
Oh Trevor...! "Those things" depend on their parents education! With all my heart, I don't believe you will really have one "of those". You'll know how to do it. To raise a human being. 💖 Lots of love.
Accurate.
Aiii this Treavor guy ;) whatever he says just makes sense because it´s so well thought through. well whether you adopt or have your own kid, you´ll sure than not be a great and funny dad! :)
Love me some Trevor Noah
I am a kindergarten teacher (or rather: crèche) and I tutor two primary school kids and I totally love it, but I still don’t want children of my own, which everyone seems to think is a paradox.
The world we live in is horrible on too many levels to want to enforce it onto another person. Also, kids are no pets that you get, because they are cute. I mean, they are cute (among other things), but I really don’t want to force anyone to live in this world.
I rather spend my time making the lives of kids better, that are already in this world, than adding to overpopulation which is not so slowly killing our living conditions (though not the planet, I believe).
Furthermore, I have read just too much about births and the after-effects for women ... no, thank you, I‘d rather continue living!
When people tell me I‘ll be lonely in old age, I tell them that my parents are lonely and they have kids. Kids do not exist to fulfill their parents wishes. They are no pets.
In short: I love kids. And that is exactly why I don’t want any!
Exactly, my mother always said she had me and my sister so we could look after her when she got old, sorry but I never wanted to inflict that on the next generation so never had kids and never regretted it either
hat on my generation so didn't have kids, never 4eh
God said. Be fruitful, USA is short of kids,plus u might can't make a baby😉
Anele sweetmama i reallly think you rushed him your questions are great but you didn't give him enough time to explore in what he wanted to say
His South African accent is really noticable here
True
I notice that it changes depending on whom he is talking to.
Blessed is Trevor Noah! Children are a blessing from God! I see his beautiful family, beautiful children, I see three at least.
Could not find his book anywhere in West Asia. Anywhere I can get before paying an extra 30$ for shipping from America?
"You'll change your mind" I heard that one before
The thing that I Love the most about Trevor is his Beautiful mindset ... and basically everything he is as a person... GOD! I Love This Man 😍 💗
Trevor Noah, you're so smart...there are too many people in the world!
It was kinda nice to see hesitancy about having children from a man, and also to see him subjected to the same unnecessary and inappropriate, "You'll change your mind." Some of us just KNOW. Love the rest of the interview though
Good answer Trevor, u will hv a child when u want. I luv that
i'm on the same page about kids trevor👌
We should NEVER, NEVER, NEVER ask anyone about when they are having children, especially in public. 1 out of 5 couples has hard time having children. They are already under so much stress and pressure. Leave them alone. It's none of our business. Some people are not having children by choice, but we do not know that.
This is top. I wonder if Trevor feels this same way now in November 2021. Hecka funny. "Those things(children) I don't want".🤣
What he said about his mum is true, that is a word from an African parent the pregnancy part
This is exactly what my parents told me then they now ask where the grandkids are. This is so typical of our African parents. 😁
This woman is so jiggly😇 I like it
Trevor Noah --- marry me LOL! his so intelligent ~~~ lets have many dogs instead
*he's
I FEEL YOU XD I'M LIKE, MARRY MEEE! XD
LucidStitch am waiting for his clone there's something about an intelligent man that just gets to me
He’s just so lovely. The idea of him looking into my eyes for an hour every day makes me go weak at the knees. I’m too old for him but a girl can dream ✌️😊❤️
already with someone new, and i do believe its becasue of me, cause no one believed in me. so we needed to turn the tables, and i needed to grind way too fast, without any knwoledge about everything.
Paula 6 may 2018 ,
I would love to know his IQ. Trevor seems to be a really good person and very very smart.
He’s not smart because of IQ, he’s smart because of hardship.
I agree with him!! There's no space! why would you fill the world with more people where there is no space?
With him living in New York, I can understand why he thinks there are so many people. But there are millions upon millions of unoccupied acres right here in the United States alone. There is plenty of room for sooooooooooo many more!!!
i really believe people should stop having that retort to someone saying they do not want to have kids. . "you'll change your mind." it's such an arrogant thing to say. Do not presume to know how someone would feel based on your own feelings about that issue. We are all different and we do not all feel the same things and experience the same in life. When i tell people i do not think I am going to want kids they tell me i'm going to regret not having kids. and i honestly say to myself....ahh you are right, so with that logic lets just bring a kid into this world even though I am not ready, or financially stable, and oh wait i don't want the child. That's smart. I really feel that I would much rather regret not having a child than regret having one and not taking care of them the way a parent should.
"When are you having kids?"
"You have to want a little bit of that (having a kid of your own)"
"You'll change your mind"
Please don't be like her. Some people just don't want kids, and their minds won't change, and they might have other things they want more, or are just ok with not having kids.
Don't ask people "when are you having kids?", it's not polite, it's not ok, it's a personal private question that definitely doesn't need airing on a tv show.
My parents (I’m Mexican) are like Trevors mom, first they told me that if I had a child without been finished my career they wouldn’t help me with it; now my dad says I don’t care if you get married, give me my grandchild now!
Stapled condoms
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why is he so handsome, every time I watch him .I dont see the other person .I know my fellows get me
I mean, we're not on the brink of extinction due to less population, are we?
We need more sensible people who see that there is really no space
She is a good interviewer. Better than Trevor.
yesss... mind is changed sooooo fast with the right person at youre side 😆!!
That’s so cute! What a smart man. That’s right, think really about it. Why? Just because someone else expects you to have kids? Is your life and if you don’t want to have kids, you can adopt, or just be the cool uncle/aunt, or just make a difference in a child’s life by volunteering, or just do like Trevor making a difference in the lives of many children with his foundation. Is your life!!!! Is your path!!! I tell my children that always, but my husband expect grandchildren. Lol. I’m cool regardless as long is their wish.
