Middle children are going extinct because Millennials don't want three children anymore
- Thread starter NoName999
- Start date
This is a good point. I was reading a study recently that was essentially saying that the average age for first child has increased across all demographics. More and more women are starting families after their peak fertility years, but if delaying pregnancy is due to lack of funds, then it still circles back to money being the root cause.
Maybe a lot of people are waiting to have kids with current political issues and economy can you see why?
I remember being worried about overpopulation but nowadays I think it could actually sort itself out. Seems like a win-win to me. I've had my 2 and I'm done.
Have a few friends that wanted a big family. After having 1 they dialed it back a bit and might only have one more or stop altogether.
My wife and I only want two. See what happens.
I don't get people that have these big 5 kid families and then struggle financially and sacrifice their life with work to pay the bills.

Even having two children is selfish for the environment honestly, 3 children is even worse. The reason is though is because nobody can afford three children anymore, millenials are all struggling to get by as it is as wages haven't risen to cobat inflation in a very long time (especially in the UK)
Sorry to let you know. There is a recall for all middle children, you must go back to the factory.
*Take out a black bag*
I think we really need to start seeing more articles talking about how Millennials are getting killed by Boomers. The root cause of a lot of these so-called Millennial-Killing actions is pure economic survival in an economy created by Boomers with no regard for long term consequences.

It makes me laugh that people aren't having a third child but the headline sounds like they are skipping the second born. Classic.
Yeah, definitely not having three kids. I can barely afford the one I have. Can you imagine having three kids in childcare? By my calculations that's roughly a million dollars a year.
It happens when your dad wants a daughter, but keeps getting boys. It took him till his fourth try to finally get a girl.
Uhm, that's great? I think so at least.
Two should be enough for any parents. Stop at two.

This might be true.
I hardly want a child, let alone three of them.
However, I still find people around my age who have 3-5 children. My brother in law already have 4, and my friend from high school is having his 5th soon.

Two kids is too high a chance of 100% being **** ups.
More kids means more chances I'll have at least one good kid and grandchildren who'll be able to take care of me when I'm old. It's an investment. Two kids is too high a chance all my time and money will be wasted on some idiot who thinks he can invest all his money in his gastropub dream or some dumb girl who wastes her life on some idiot who wastes all his money on his microbrewery (it's gonna work, all it'll take is hard work and desire). Besides, more kids means more people to bug with long phone calls on Saturday. Gotta have some entertainment when I get old.
