I think the doc puts the sex in sealed envelope and that is what the parents take to a baker or whatever.
One of the dumbest things ever invented

I’ve seen it where the parents know but they just reveal to their friends and family. That’s how I thought it worked for years.

There are a lot where they don’t know hence the sealed envelope from the dr. I think it’s usually people who want a good Instagram post.

Actually most Millennials go “must be nice to be able to afford to have kids.”

My impression of Millenials is, "That looks gross and expensive. Why would you want to have kids?" The Gen Xers are apparently pumping them out, though.

My mom has openly started referring to my ball python as her "grandsnake." I'm not 100 percent sure how to take that.

Gen Xers are too old at this point. I'm either the tail end of Gen X or the leading edge of the millennials depending on whose definition you use. I'm 37.

Tell that to my ex-fiancee. She had our son at 40, then had another child at 42.

I am also 37 years old, so I'm not sure where I fit in. I just wake up, drink the coffee, and go to work.

My impression is that Millenials are having kids all the time. Given the absurd number of Facebook posts I see. Most of them have more than two kids as well.

I think they are just waiting longer than past generations. Fewer 21, 22 year olds are having kids. It's more the 27, 28 year olds, once they get their career/family life set. Same with marriages. Millennials are getting married later in life.

I should note Midwestern bias here, as the coasts seem to have a longer history of this practice. In the midwest, it seemed like you basically got married right out of college, not later in life.
 
Re: What The Fark 5: I Can't Believe This Happened!

I guess I partly disagree with that as well. Our school had so many pregnancies, they started up a daycare for the kids inside the school so the moms and dads could get their diploma.

Purely anecdotal. But I get your point and I think you’re probably right in general. It’s also probably better we’re waiting longer.

I agree it's better that we're waiting longer. Get established in life, financially secure (as much as one can), then look to the other stages in life. People go through a LOT of changes individually between 20ish and 25ish, both in maturity and what they want out of life.
