I mean that's definitely true. I actively positioned/pulled/moved her during both deliveries, cleaned up her shite when she was pushing etc.
I felt like it was my duty, she's doing that, I need to be actively involved. Of course we did a home based setting with midwives, but I can't fathom not being there intimately involved in the first time your child opens their eyes.
Heell, each time they both came out, they told me to take my shirt off and hold them close while they worked on mama. Each time I was the first warmth and affection they felt outside of the whomb.

So parents are able to support their family by working part time jobs at Starbucks? Wow I didn't know that. Guess I've been busting my arse for no reason

Another Millenial who doesn't ralize he is a millenial.
The Silent Generation: Born 1928-1945
Baby Boomers: Born 1946-1964
Generation X: Born 1965-1980
Millennials: Born 1981-1996

I just disagree with the Year bands of millennials. Wikipedia says 1981-1996. That’s a humongous band with a lot of differences. I didn’t have a cell phone in HS and was using Napster in college. A little different than someone born in 1996.
That fact that it bothers you so much to be labeled a millennial is just confirmation that you are one.

I think it's because people born in the early to mid 80s are lumped in with some neck bearded, avocado toast eating, 25 year old hipsters and they see themselves as nothing like them. It's also become kind of a negative description for all young people, even though many of them aren't millennials.

I don’t think anyone born in 1980 has a lot in common with someone born in 1965. Heck, I would even go as high as 1973 as far as a lack of things in common.

Trying to say you're not a real millennial because you were born in the mid 80s is the most stereotypical millennial thing you can do

But we aren't chasing the same assets. "Our" grandparents raised 5 kids in a 1200sq ft house, ate home cooked fresh foods, shared a car, and the kids played in the street.
Now we have "luxury" vehicles with leather interiors, 2500sq ft houses for families with 1 or 2 kids, constant costly sports/extra curriculars, and kids with expensive phones.
This right here is biggest thing I see different.
I born in 68'. Seeing how my grandparents and parents grown up with 2x as many kids in 1/2 size home with a full time parent. Now its all about stuff vs family.
The dads now spend more time with kids because they all live off the grandparents.

Doing manly things like fishing, hunting, coaching travel ball, absolutely. All that vulnerability, in touch with your feelings shite, hell to the no.

I think this changed with Gen X and has gone to maximum attentiveness with Millennials. The next generation of course, the fathers will basically be mothers and the mothers will be busy with their boyfriends. Jk - no need to rage.

That's not really the driver for generation timeline, I guess?

Oh you mean they don't want to be lumped in to a stereotype that barely even exists? Yeah me either.

There is some truth in almost all stereotypes.
