Some millennials who once wanted kids are reconsidering due to COVID-19, while others who were once dead set against them are now on board.
Given all this, perhaps it’s not surprising that some millennials are rethinking having kids due to the economic uncertainty brought about by the pandemic. Jessica, a 27-year-old self-described “millennial single lesbian,” spent several months of 2019 attempting to conceive using frozen donor sperm to no avail. “I intended to try again this year, but I now feel totally paralyzed about financial security, et cetera, and am now no longer planning to try to get pregnant anytime soon,” she said.
Erin, 31, was on the precipice of a big year: She had a book coming out in November, was planning a wedding, and thinking about having children in the near future. “Then the pandemic happened,” she said, adding, “Given the uncertainty of both the pandemic and the 2020 election, right now I can’t in good conscience think about starting a family anytime soon. As much as I’d love to achieve the dream of having it all, I know it’s probably better to wait until there’s a more optimistic landscape.
