5 Signs You’re a Millennial Mom

As parents, we often find ourselves shaking our heads while saying, “kids these days”—kids of today’s generation who would rather stare at their phone than personally communicating with people around them. And then we come to think: what happens to these kids when they grow up and become parents?

Well, it’s already happening. Millennial adults are those born between 1980 and early 2000s. And if you happen to be one of them and already have kids, then you’re classified as a millennial mom. Here are some fun facts that you can relate to.

1. You are into technology and social media.
Today’s generation of parents has grown and matured with technology, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that moms are highly connected. In an average, moms use four social media accounts—Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest—and spend up to 17 hours a week on these networks. That’s like four hours more each week than average moms!

2. You do not want to be a mom all the time.
“Alone time” and “pamper day” is non-negotiable for today’s generation of moms. In fact, many would prefer to pay extra to have someone help them take care of the kids, manage their busy schedule and tackle some household chores.

3. You let your kids lead the way.
From weaning to letting your climb trees and ride their first bike, most millennial moms allow their kids to experience life at its rawest. Whether they get dirty, hurt or wounded, you prefer your kids to lead the way. You want to make your kids fee that they have choices that you didn’t had when you were their age.

4. You are naturally creative.
Although you are educated of how things should work, you still find creative ways to make things work and perhaps inspire other moms. Whether blogging about your highs and lows with your kids, vlogging about your everyday life or opening an Etsy shop for your custom-made goodies, you always come up with a fun idea to engage with moms and parents like you.

5. You are seriously smart.
More of today’s generation have college degree than any other young adults of other generation. And considering that women today are more well-rounded and liberated, it’s a given that mom’s today are smarter and more open-minded.

These changes are not as bad as what people perceived it is. Change is constant, and so are the ways of how women raise their children and their family. Embrace it and learn to make it work for you, your family and everyone around you.
