[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Millennial men expect their millennial wives to have solid careers and to keep working after kids, without skipping a beat.  The women are saying no thanks to that particular type of parenthood, because [b]they know their husbands aren't going to take on 50% of domestic labor and childcare.[/b]  And also because, outside of the DCUM bubble, most women aren't all that career-driven, especially after kids.  They just aren't.  If SAHM was a realistic option for more millennial women, we'd see more of them saying yes to parenthood.  [/quote]

So are millennial men resorting back to 1950s men? I'm young Gen X (late 40s) and the men I know are really, really involved fathers.[/quote]

No, because they also don’t even want to provide.[/quote]

I honestly do think this is part of it for both men and women. It’s not necessarily a bad thing but people want their low-demand, relatively easy and uncomplicated lives. Renting so you don’t have to keep up a home, a regular office job (preferably with max telecommuting) so you have plenty of time for hobbies, and no expensive kids to mess it up. We have so many options for entertainment these days, people don’t want to sacrifice their free time for kids. [/quote]
