[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Our experience as well we attribute it two a) more two income families because of expenses with housing etc b) the rise of SAHD and moms with CAREERS rather than more flexible part time mom jobs. [b]For our oldest, we didn’t know a SINGLE family with a mom who worked 40 hour job once kids were in kinder. That has changed.[/b]  Dads just don’t volunteer as much except sports. [/quote]

Where were you living? That sounds bizarre.[/quote]

+1, GenX here and all my friends have careers outside the home. There is no way you are in DC.
