[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a Millennial married to an X-er. The difference my Gen X DH claims he sees is that many younger parents (not borderline Millenials like me) are less likely to step up and get involved in sports, clubs, and PTAs. It's not a perfect generalization and there are definitely exceptions on both sides, but it does seem like fewer and fewer people volunteer for things every year.[/quote] I don’t know that this is bad. In a capitalist society, it’s kind of ridiculous to rely on free labor to get things done. For example from my own life. You can hire teenage lifeguards to be timers at the swim meet for $15/hr. You don’t need to ask a judge to spend her limited time off standing at the edge of the pool for four hours instead of socializing with her friends and family. And we don’t need two separate times to see what a seven year old got in her 25 free. [/quote]
