From what I’ve seen, most ‘Millennials’ don’t have children. They have pets, give them human names, and treat them as if they were their children. This applies to most all of the White people of my age that I know. Most of them refuse to marry, and just ‘shack up’. ALL of them I know refuse to have children. They just do the thing with the pets.
I haven’t yet had the heart to tell them that their dog isn’t gonna be there for them when they’re 90 years old, wipe their asses and feed them. Of course, most of them don’t think past tomorrow....
My wife doesn’t find it humorous, but when my 4 yr old yells “I need you to wipe me!” I say “OK, but I’ll be saying the same thing to you in about 30 yrs”.
Other polling etc. indicates the very opposite, that while there is an issue with lack of marriage/kids etc., in many ways there is a push toward more family.
Those who do (which here in TX is virtually all Millennials) really emphasize family, even to the point of more working from home etc.
Oh how I know what you mean .... Have 32 yo friend like this .... Just buys the clothes for the dogs, sends them to “lessons,” etc with absolutely no concept of how time is ticking .... At least she’s married, but she and the lazy lout husband just refuse to hatch.
Others I know are just shackin’ — t
Having too much fun to worry about commitment ....
