the thing about millennials who don’t want kids is I feel like a lot of them are deeply On Board for their friends’ kids

like I’m among the minority of my friends in definitely for sure wanting kids someday

but each of my parenthood-eschewing friends has claimed a different role in my future offspring’s life and they seem very excited to play it

so we as a generation may have fewer children

but I feel like they’ll be the most supported and loved children imaginable

As a millennial who doesn’t want children, I am seconding this, because it’s not like we don’t want children to exist in the world! We do! Children can be lovely and amazing and they are literally our future! It’s just So Very Difficult to raise children in our nuclear-family society, especially as a millennial, and you want to do the job RIGHT.

Well, if you can’t do the job right yourself, the least you can do is help a friend raise THEIR child right, help take the burden off their shoulders, and give that kid all the love and attention they can stand.

I’d be damned excited to do that, too.

this generation is so excited and ready to be weird uncle/aunt so-and-so

I hope this generation makes communal families a thing again and this time it won’t be treated like a “taboo hippie thing”

i didnt realize so many other people felt this way, when i started watching my roommate’s toddler after school my mom couldnt understand it and i couldnt explain it, but it really was that i dont want a kid but i do want to support kids that already Are

I am onboard to be as many small people’s queer witch aunt as possible.

Speaking as your Gen-X Weird Auntie Jilli: I knew early on I didn’t want kids. (By “early on”, I think I was six or seven.) But being the weird auntie or godmother to friends’ kids? Pretty much always a goal.

Also, communal families help everyone: parents, kids, the extended families.
