No, the parent converted to millennial parenting when she got a divorce. You know, substituting her child for a functional relationship then marrying a decent but rich dude that she has little interest in.

There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be.
So what's the primary indictment here? "Put down your dang phone and care for your children!" or "Sheesh millennial parents stop coddling your dang children!" ?

Yeah. It's counterintuitive, but being a less "protective" parent takes a lot more time and effort than being an overprotective one.

That's because allowing kids freedom means you also have to teach them how to exercise good judgment in a wide range of complex situations. That takes a lot more time, and more good communication, than dumping them in a safe space and ordering them around.

Not to rag on "massage therapists" who practice on literal babies but after polling my half-dozen friends who are pediatricians, literally not one of them thinks this is an actual serious problem. Neglect is one thing, but not doing tummy time isn't going to result in "massive developmental delay" unless there are other problems going on.

It's the inverse effect. Women who like to go on about what a good mom they are tend to be terrible, and women that beat themselves up about being a bad mom are decent to good, because being a good parent requires you be at least self aware of your shortcomings and work to improve.

I hear that compared to previous generations, Millennials are slightly less likely to march into whatever foreign nation their government says to and wildly fire into a crowded marketplace. How dare they not mercilessly and blindly kill whatever persons the corporate controlled government labels the flavor-of-the-decade supreme enemy. The loving nerve.

How does that relate to being a parent idgi




Also due to video-game murder programming millenials have the least empathy of any generation, so even as a non-joke this post doesn't make any sense

I hate when people drop $$$$$ on new baby stuff and then complain (or worse, hint at a loan) a bunch. I got most things used (but in such good shape you couldn't tell), including this amazing Cadillac of a crib that probably cost a couple grand new. And I didn't have to look hard! I'm lazy!

Relevant: some of the crunchier moms I know were telling me about this new thing they've been encountering with new moms: they either refuse to buy a diaper genie/something like it, or hide it from the kid.

Because they think if the kid sees it, they'll get a complex. About having stinky poo poo. So stinky, it needs a separate receptacle.

These crunchy moms are all Gen X or highest-age millennial, they all thought it was ridiculous. Thankfully.

I don't care what nonsense people do as far as hiding it in a closet or whatever, but ugh good luck not having one at all if you live in cramped spaces and your out-of-home trash setup isn't super close. Those things are worth their weight in gold.

I know someone who moved in late 2012, hastily, and could never find their diaper genie after. They moved from an apartment to an actual house so they started just putting diapers in plastic shopping bags, tying them up, and putting them in the trashcans in the garage. They figured it had gotten lost or tossed in the move.

Until late 2016, when one of them went looking for something & realized it had been chucked into a storage room, disguised in a trashbag, by a mover (presumably). Four years. It was full. There was no odor. She tied it off, still no odor. Threw the blue-poop-worm full of tiny diapers in the trash, still no odor. It's magic.

I'm rambling but my point is they'll keep your small house or apartment smelling like the rankest poo poo ever and I've never seen a kid care where their diapers go (aside from curiosity) so Jesus Christ is my point.
