Once again Gen-X is ignored. It's Gen-X hitting grandparenting age.
My two kids probably won't be parents, and I'm ok with that. I want them to be happy more than I want to enjoy grandkids. Whatever they choose, I'll be happy with.
I felt pressure from Boomer parents to have kids, and I didn't want to do the same to my kids. That's a hard nope.
Seems like old = boomers and young = millennials for journalist and a lot of people
Yeah this is a good point. Young boomers are, what, 65?
About 59 I think.
maybe if gen x did something we wouldn't be forgetting about them /s (i kid i kid)
but seriously, go get into the government or something, you guys are the prime age for entering the government right now.
Ah, the middle child of the generations.
Gen X is normally described as 1965-1980 so 44 to 59 years old.
Average age of mothers first birth right now is 27. It was around 25 for most of Gen X. So 25 + 27 = 52. Yeah new grandparents are not boomers.
