[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so interesting! My sample is skewed because I live in a suburb where of course all of my neighbors are families and most of the millennials I know are my children's friends (I'm a Gen X mom in my late 40s with ES kids, the youngest is in 2nd - most of the other moms are early to mid 30s). I just assumed that millennial women are being competitive with gen X women and have upped the ante with children as social status - wealthy millennials are having more and more children because it's a status symbol. [b]Having 4 kids means you can afford 4 kids.[/b] I had no idea millennials are actually having fewer kids, it seems like so many of them have 3+ whereas every person my own age and 10 years older than me have only 2 kids.[/quote]

4 kids is a bit much by today’s standards. Im not talking Hollywood, different baby daddy standards. It's a bit much for working families who have their kids in activities. Not speaking from money standpoint but time. How can you attend to that many kids and maintain your life? Someone or something falls short. It’s not like back in the day whete people just played outside. I see 1-3 kids max in my suburban neighborhood. [/quote]

I know a ton of families with 3+ kids. They're all very wealthy though - we're in North Arlington.[/quote]
