Welcome to Easy French. Today we are in Saint-Etienne-de-Tinet, in the back country of Nice and we are going to ask questions to people about children.
Come on, follow me.
Hello.
So, at what age would you say it is best to have children?
At what age? I don't think there is an age. I would say on average between 20 and 35 years old.
And what do you think of young mothers, so before 18 years old?
Well, I admire them. I admire them, I think they are in good shape, so maybe they are less tired by the short nights, etc.
Anyway, being a mother is the most beautiful thing, so I think it's very good.
What do you think of mothers who are young, who are under 18? Is it conceivable for you? Do you want to have super young children or how is it?
I don't know, it's weird. No, young, especially if you want to do studies, it's impossible to manage both at the same time, in my opinion.
And you?
It's a bit complicated, I think, to manage, but if they want to, it depends. I think it depends, it depends on their family situation or their parents.
So, what do you think of mothers who are young, very young, so before 18?
Why not?
On the contrary, there is still the future, we can raise children well, unlike mothers who have children at 50-50 often, even if the age has passed, it still happens.
So, hello.
Hello.
At what age do you estimate that it is good to have children? At what age do you estimate that it is best to have children?
The best would be between 25 and 35, knowing that we don't have a single child, we have two, and it all depends on the course that there has been before.
Depending on the maturity of the people?
At the moment, yes, that's it. I think that today we have the goal much later, so there is no need to rush to have children at the age of 20, it's a bit young, I think, from a personal point of view.
So, hello Marie.
Hello.
At what age do you think it is best to have children?
Well, I don't think it's a question of age, I think it's a question of... a global question.
Well, already in relation to the couple, to see if the couple feels like having a child, then a question of situation, maybe also to have a stable job and a rent behind.
As long as we can ensure the coming of the child, I don't think there is really an age.
So, what do you think of young mothers, under 18?
So, I think it's complicated, because before 18, I think we're not quite a woman yet, and so it's complicated to assume a mother's role in addition.
What do you think of adoption?
Well, adoption is very good. I have several friends who have adopted children, it's going very well, the children are happy.
Did they adopt children in France or children abroad?
In France, in France. Well, the friends I have at the beginning, well, they worked keeping the little ones, so it was their job.
But after the little one, his parents completely left him, so they adopted him, they adopted a few.
Okay, and it's going well?
Yes, yes, very good. They are as happy as the little one. So, very good.
And I have one last question, which is, what are your favorite names?
A little question like that.
No, so the favorite names ...
Do you have names that you like?
The first name of my children, that's for sure.
No, but after, no, easy-to-pronounce names, so that it's not an embarrassment for them later, that it's understandable for a multitude of people.
So, not complicated names, but names that also help them in their adult life.
Can you give us, to finish, two of your favorite names?
I will give you the names of my children.
My son's name is Turian, it's a Breton name, it means little thumb.
And my daughter's name is Leonor.
Thank you all for watching this video.
So, we were super happy to shoot it with my cousin Marie.
And we are in Saint-Etienne-de-Tinée.
I was in Saint-Etienne-de-Tinée.
