Millennials and the Dread of Motherhood

Many millennials, especially women, are feeling a sense of dread and uncertainty about motherhood. They are bombarded with conflicting messages and portrayals of motherhood on social media, with some influencers depicting a picture-perfect version while others highlight the challenges and anxieties. The rise of mom-fluencers, who use their maternal identity to build social media followings, has further contributed to this confusion. The constant exposure to curated content and societal pressures can leave millennials questioning whether motherhood is right for them. However, it is important to avoid basing decisions solely on what is seen online and to seek a more nuanced understanding of the realities and joys of parenthood.
