Millennials aren't having as many kids as previous generations, and that fact could end up dragging down economic growth for more than a decade. It's almost like 2 people having to work full time+ (a full time job and a part time or side gig) to afford mother fucking rent and food for just themselves is not conducive to a fucking rising birth rate. Millenials aren't to blame. Gen X isn't to blame. Gen Z won't be to blame either. Endless fucking greed on the part of the Corpos of the world is to blame. --- The name is wackyteen for a reason.

I'm a millennial, I have one daughter, and there's no way in hell I'm having the 4 kids my parents had. Millennials aren't having very many kids if at all because they are expensive.

When we got married we talked about having 3-4 kids. Now we're done after 2. It's partly because her pregnancies were complicated with gestational diabetes, hyperemesis, and bad GERD, and a DVT on the second one. And now as I work full time and she works part time, childcare is a huge barrier to having a third. It would put too much burden on our parents to help out. ... Copied to Clipboard!
