Millennials have been accused of killing many things: diamonds, paper napkins, golf, canned tuna, casual dining chains, mayonnaise, breakfast cereal, beer, light yogurt, handshakes, starter homes, traditional retail, marriage, and cable tv.
I enjoyed your take on this. Clearly, it is progress for people to be intentional in deciding to have children rather than it being a societal default. I had a recent Substack Live conversation with Natasha Joukowsky that touched on this subject.
Hi!! Thank you, David! Oooh I will check that convo out. I’ve been having such lively and interesting discussions about this topic recently. Progress, indeed!
I just saw in Central Park a mother with her twin girls (2years old). The mother had set up a low table with Martha Stewart worthy decorations, flowers, table settings and a very tall beautiful cake- 5 layers? The girls were looking mystified but were compliant to mom's fussing about- posing them for the photographer and his aides. I am 99% positive this was not for an ad but more likely for her IG or wall photo or just to show off to friends. And is that why she's a mom??
