Oh, you’ve perfected the art of hiding vegetables in smoothies and you own more reusable coffee cups than shoes? Tell me again how you only use wooden toys—do you feel like you’re doing this parenting thing just a bit better than generations before?
1. Your Child Has an Instagram Account
It’s not just any Instagram account—it’s carefully curated with the best moments from playdates and park adventures, often hashtagged #BlessedLife.
2. You Prefer Artisanal Baby Food
You wouldn’t dream of feeding your child anything that isn’t organic, locally-sourced, and potentially blended at home with your high-powered, all-singing, all-dancing kitchen gadget.
3. Baby Wearing Is Your Go-To
Forget strollers; ergonomic baby carriers are your accessory of choice. It keeps your hands free and your baby close, just like the blogs suggest.
4. You’ve Debated Screen Time… A Lot
You’ve read every article about the pros and cons of screen time and still can’t decide if thirty minutes of Peppa Pig is setting back your child’s development by years.
5. Your Child’s Milestones Are Social Media Updates
Each crawl, step, and word has been captured, posted, and archived online for friends and family to see—and you’ve got the likes to prove it.
6. You Own Multiple Parenting Apps
From sleep tracking to developmental milestones, there’s an app on your phone for every aspect of parenting—each one promising to make you more adept at navigating parenthood.
7. You Consider Coffee a Food Group
Let’s be honest, coffee is the only reason you’re awake right now. The local coffee shop knows your order by heart—and your toddler’s babycino, too.
8. You’ve Thought About a YouTube Channel for Your Kid
“Unboxing” toys, reviewing children’s books, or just capturing daily antics—it’s crossed your mind how many views your charming child could rack up.
9. Playdates Are as Much for You as Your Child
These carefully scheduled events are essential for your social life and sanity, often organized through WhatsApp or a Facebook group.
10. You Use Cloth Diapers for Environmental Reasons
Not only are they adorable, but they also reduce your carbon footprint. You’re all about making eco-friendly choices for the next generation.
11. You’ve Bought a Miniature Version of Your Outfits for Your Child
Matching outfits for special occasions? Absolutely. Your toddler must be as on-trend as you are.
12. You Speak to Your Child Like an Adult
Complete with explanations about how their actions affect their emotions—your two-year-old gets the lowdown on everything.
13. You’re Already Saving for University
You’ve had a university savings account since before they were born because it’s never too early to plan for a good education.
14. You Value Experiences Over Toys
You’d rather spend money on family holidays or cultural experiences that create memories (and great photos!).
15. You Have a Strict Bedtime Routine
It’s all about the routine—bath, book, bed. Deviation is not an option if you want to catch that precious 8 hours (or who are we kidding, maybe just 5).
Oh, How Parenting Has Changed
Millennial parents, with your smartphones and your hyper-awareness of all things eco and educational, you’re redefining raising kids, one organic puree at a time. What will Gen Alpha think of our parenting choices? Only time will tell.
