  • she is correct, I would never want any children near me. I could not accept myself, my body and my new lifestile after birth. I need freedom or I die. I need peace and no children's noise. I need freedom to have a walk, to have my daydreams and all I want. children are just a cage

  • @3:47 "We're afraid to make fun of it. Because children are, probably, a secular religion". Bill Hicks lives! :D

  • There are many stupid reasons that parents have children... according to this video at least 2 people think Islamaphobia is one of them. Idiots.

    Children are a CHOICE.

  • I don't hate kids, but that doesn't mean I want any of my own.

    I appreciate what she's done, which is to simply say that parenting is not entirely what it appears to be; a lot of the time it's portrayed as this magical, uniting thing, which it may in fact be, but this typical representation of parenthood glosses over serious draw backs that have made her, and probably other people, regret having kids.

    A lot of people assume they should have kids. I like how she wants us to question that.

  • this is the most awesome interview I have ever seen. I have never bought a french book but i will now.

  • I don't care if it's tongue in cheek I believe every word of it! It's exactly how I feel! I NEVER want kids!

  • She is just having fun and I am skeptical about what she said about her daughter. She was okay with it?? I am sure she is not actually trying to convince anyone to now have children!

  • @trekkicat Yes Yes Yes.

  • Forty Reasons Why Islam is Taking over France and Europe

  • oh my gosh she has a beautiful accent
