the thing about millennials who don’t want kids is I feel like a lot of them are deeply On Board for their friends’ kids
like I’m among the minority of my friends in definitely for sure wanting kids someday
but each of my parenthood-eschewing friends has claimed a different role in my future offspring’s life and they seem very excited to play it
so we as a generation may have fewer children
but I feel like they’ll be the most supported and loved children imaginable
As a millennial who doesn’t want children, I am seconding this, because it’s not like we don’t want children to exist in the world! We do! Children can be lovely and amazing and they are literally our future! It’s just So Very Difficult to raise children in our nuclear-family society, especially as a millennial, and you want to do the job RIGHT.
Well, if you can’t do the job right yourself, the least you can do is help a friend raise THEIR child right, help take the burden off their shoulders, and give that kid all the love and attention they can stand.
I’d be damned excited to do that, too.
this generation is so excited and ready to be weird uncle/aunt so-and-so
I hope this generation makes communal families a thing again and this time it won’t be treated like a “taboo hippie thing”
It’s called a Laminar Flow. Water usually has a lot of turbulence in it, and that is that causes it to look rather chaotic when it’s spraying out of a hose.
Laminar Flow occurs when all the water is moving in the exact same direction, eliminating turbulence, and thus, creating a flow of water that looks like glass.
Still, the idea that this is creating Laminar flow randomly is quite incredible, usually it requires specially built nozzles to create it.

Soup! Throw whatever you want in there– lentils, canned beans, canned tomato, chopped veggies, mushrooms, onion/garlic, meat, pasta, potatoes, whatever. If you want to add leafy greens like kale, or use frozen veggies instead of fresh, add them at the end of cooking. Fill up the pot with however much veggie broth you want, boil then bring to a simmer for about 40min, tasting and seasoning as you go. To make it more stew-like, use less broth.
Pasta! Make it easy by using a simple sauce of jarred tomato sauce, basil, and mushrooms or ground meat of choice. You can also make a simple sauce with canned or fresh tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and cheese of choice.
Eggs! Scrambled or fried tastes great over rice, on toast, on a bed of greens, on top of ramen, ontop of beans, whatever!
Simple stir fry using frozen veggie and sauce mixes, add meat or tofu. If you don’t want to make rice, just boil Asian noodles instead, it’s faster.
