[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This may sound callous but the constant posting on social media, the keeping up with the Joneses, the constant look at me pregnancies and prop babies and portrayal of a perfect family life is largely to blame here. I would venture to say very few, if any, millennials have the life skills, stamina, and grit to raise three kids successfully. They live on social media and if and when they finally encounter real life they sink. These people had no business having kids.[/quote] While this seems harsh and overly simplified to me, I do believe social media and the performative parenting culture is a contributing factor. Studies say Instagram increased suicide rates in teens, it’s not a huge leap to say it’s affected young parents as well. [/quote]
