Older millennials having babies just to be able to say ‘back in my day’

Older millennials are rushing to have babies as they hit their late and early thirties milestones -- a receding hairline, a growing tummy and aching joints.  

A recent shortage in both high-end formula milk and diapers for new-born babies made social scientists take a long, hard look at the economic and social link between this shortage and the coming-of-age of a certain age group.

The social scientists were also joined by a group of psychologists because this particular group of academics wanted to publish a scientific article that covered all bases and that would receive no criticism.

The paper which was published early this year revealed some eye-openers regarding older millennials and their desire to become parents despite the knowledge that parenting is harder than rocket science.

"Older millennials have moved to managerial positions in their workplace now after putting in nearly 10 years in the job market. Many started working as teens and have continued since. They are now hiring more and more youngsters who are coming up with new-fangled ideas which the older millennials do not entirely agree with. This is why they are having babies, so that they can raise them to be less difficult adults and also to tell this current generation of youngsters that back in their day they would respect elders, take their bullying and had a thick skin about it while doing so," said the lead author of the article when asked to explain the findings of the paper in brief.

The strange part about the paper, however, is the section which details the contradictions presented by the focus group.

"While older millennials think younger millennials are ruining everything about the good old 90s, when it comes to parenting styles, they cannot seem to agree with their parents either, who they think are too old school in their parenting styles. We actually follow a sleep and wake window, use apps to monitor the child's milestones and are up to date with the latest research in raising a child," the lead author added.

The scientific article has caused a stir among new parents who feel awfully seen and have sharply criticised the paper.
