There’s a process in life that “society” tells you to follow – you get a girlfriend or boyfriend, you move in together, you get a dog together to prove you’re responsible enough to handle children, you get engaged, you get married, and then you have kids. That’s what you’re “supposed” to do.
Well, Chelsea Handler is here to tell you that concept is completely wrong and that living the ultimate dream is being single, childless, and allowed to drink a cocktail at 10 a.m. without anyone judging you. If that’s not something you can get behind, have fun being miserable for the rest of your life.
Embrace being single. Enjoy the quiet of your apartment whenever you get the urge to start a family. Don’t rush, guys. Chelsea said so. .

After hearing a phone ring all day long and listening to clients whine and bitch about everything, my quiet apartment is the only thing that keeps me sane anymore.
Bourbon helps too…
Is she single by choice? Based on that picture, it looks like the world decided that for her
You must be a fucking Adonis
Feminism is the best form of population control imo. Population falling dramatically because of it.
Yeah, I really hate it when women have the same rights as men, too.
Unfortunately it doesn’t keep stupid people from breeding
She’s looking great these days.
I always suspect the people who talk about how great is it to be childless and single in their 40’s are like people who are vegan or do crossfit: deep down they know they’re miserable and full of shit, but they have to save face somehow. I’m not saying get hitched and have 5 kids by 35, but it seems like you’re giving up a large part of the important and enjoyable things in life in the name of a few, ultimately meaningless material frills.
Different strokes for different folks. The thing that bothers me about this is people telling you how much “better” it is to live a certain way (in this case childless and single). Personally I don’t see what’s so fulfilling about being able to drink whenever I want compared to maybe being annoyed by someone I love sometimes. If I never have a family I look at it as a failure to reach a goal. But if you don’t want that, more power to you. Just shut up.
Most of my friends and family my age are married and have children. I’m so tired of hearing people tell me I won’t know what “real” love is until I have a child. I want to punch them in the throat and poke their eyes out. It goes both ways. No matter what a person’s choice is leave them the hell alone. I choose not to have kids because I want to be selfish and sleep in amongst other amazing things. Do I like kids? Yes. Love them. But shit. Live your life, I will live mine with a few bottles of wine in hand.
That’s fine for her, but I can’t wait to have kids. I’ve got baby fever to an absurd degree right now. Getting married next summer, and I wanna have a rug rat or two by like 2020.
Her advice makes sense if you follow the trajectory of our economic prospects . . . embrace the decline.
