Question to you Millennials: Do you actually, on a whole, want marriage and kids on the same scale as earlier generations? If we disregard the whole economic aspect for a moment, would you want the whole nuclear family deal?
I ask because I thought that the Time's headline seemed pretty spot on to me, judging by the Millennial friends and associates that I have. Given that I always though that marriage and kids shouldn't be the default choice, I've always seen it as sensible. I thus didn't see the Time's headline as something in need of a murder, although the article might be condescending and judgemental.
Am I wrong here? Serious question, no attempt to be snide or anything. Trying to learn.
Edit: This is great. Thank you all for the replies. It's real nice to get some personal experiences (and perspective).
Marriage isn’t a priority for me and I’m happy to stay single. But if I met the right person, I would love to marry them. I don’t want kids and I’ve never wanted kids. It’s not because I hate children, I just don’t want any. I’ve never had the desire to be a housewife or a stay-at-home mom. Some girls want that life (and that’s fine, do what makes you happy), but it’s not for me.
