    Once again Gen-X is ignored. It’s Gen-X hitting grandparenting age.

    My two kids probably won’t be parents, and I’m ok with that. I want them to be happy more than I want to enjoy grandkids. Whatever they choose, I’ll be happy with.

    I felt pressure from Boomer parents to have kids, and I didn’t want to do the same to my kids. That’s a hard nope.

        People are having kids later in life, and the youngest millennials are only ~29.

        Millennials are predominantly the children of Boomers, so that’s why these two generations are basing singled out.

        Gen-X were called the a Baby Bust generation for a reason; there aren’t enough of them around in order to swap population metrics compared to what came directly before and after.
