Old man's complaint

I watch fewer Youtube travel vlog couple videos than previously.   I got sick of Kara and Nate long ago for being too enthusiastic about everything, coming across as pretty privileged rich kids, and doing stupid physical challenges in which I have zero interest;  I watched Eric and Allison (of Endless Adventures) for longer, but their recent stuff has become less interesting, even though they are a more down to Earth couple, if sometimes looking a little, um, sleazy?;  Flora and Note I quite like for their cheerfulness and Asia centric stuff, despite his excessive tattoos, but I don't need to watch everything they put out.

I do watch some of One Pack Wanderers, who are currently driving around Australia again.   They seem to me to be really great with the video quality, but (and this is half the point of this post), oh my God, I reckon at least half of their viewership must be males (like me) who melt at watching Tia smiling and looking happy.   (Still photos don't do her justice, you have to watch her on video.)  She is pure, intensified, charisma on legs - she should try her luck at acting as I'm pretty sure no one can resist liking her all round demeanour.    

But, especially with the younger couples who do this (from the ones I have mentioned - Flora and Nate, and Tia and her guy with the name I can never remember), I do get the feeling after a while that they need to stop having fun and get down to the business of procreation.  Especially Tia!  

Sure, travelling while young is fun and can be entertaining for us as well, but I don't want them to miss out on the fun of having kids, as well as my self interest in ensuring there are future aged care workers to look after me and my cohort in 20 years time!

I'm joking about the latter - kind of, as I really don't expect aged care centres to be well managed by Chinese robots - but this is the simple regret I always feel at the news of decreasing birthrates everywhere (and especially amongst the young.)   Sure, stupid older people (unfortunately, back to my cohort) have ensured that climate change is going to cause continuing nightmares around the world for the next few centuries, but the entire globe isn't going to become uninhabitable.   With any luck.  And there's a lot of empty space in Tasmania still!

But having children is still fun and natural - it's a great experience (although never without risk of tragedy or disappointment, of course.)   And I don't really understand why people wouldn't assume this is true if they like having dogs and cats for company.  Kids are like a more advanced version of them.  :)

Am I the only person who keeps wanting to tell they young folk on Youtube to stop having that kind of fun, and have a (kind of more important) type of fun?
