Generation X is all grown up and having Children. Here is an excerpt from a article about you. What do you think?
Generation X, the generation of "slackers" now in their thirties, was labeled as having little gumption of the previous generations. Tagged as selfish and self-centered because you went to college, delayed getting married, and are only just now beginning to start your families, many Gen X-ers feel like they are anything but. Talk to anyone in this age group about why they put off these normal stages of growing up and you'll hear the same thing: divorced parents and/or two parents working outside the home made growing up in the 1970s a very lonely existence.
In the 1970s and early 1980s, census data showed an unprecedented number of women joining the workforce and leaving the children in daycare. The general consensus seemed to be that this was a good way to generate independence and self-sufficiency in children. Maybe it did make you independent, and are planning on staying home with your future children, but it made you really, really lonely. This statement may or may not be true, but there's a good chance that was true for many other Generation X children.
This doesn't mean a return to the 1950s homemaker moms, however. Today's stay-at-home moms aren't likely to be found ironing and starching shirts in between baking cakes and cookies, rather you will probably be operating home businesses, telecommuting, and frantically asking for baby advice online.
