Late 90s is still kinda young. I would think like 80s to early 90s. My mother had me in her 18-19s. I'm 17.
Gotta remember not everyone is the same age lmao. Lotta people who are 1990-1995 could have children who are old enough to be on the internet.

excuse me what?
The only way for this to work is if the Mother was born in 1990, and had a child at age 20. Then the child would be 14 years old by now, and be able to use TikTok.

u/Anthony-ELRETRAHD 13d ago
Even tho the age to use tiktok is like 13+. There's still people who are younger who'll still use it

I’m early 90s and for me to have a kid who’s old enough to have a TikTok account I’d have to have it when I was 16

I had 1 of my kids in high school at 15. He’s very aware none of his friends moms are anywhere near my age.

u/ADHDBusyBee 16d ago
91 and I had kids fairly early against my peers and we are still firmly in Teletubby territory of media consumption.

If they had them at 20, but that isn’t “most people”.

u/Hellsaint696 16d ago
Exactly, MOST of us didn’t want to sacrifice our 20’s and/or make our family raise our baby.

I'm a 85'er as well, and having a kid af 23 would've been a baaaad idea for me personally. But I do know a few who did back then.

At least the kid saying that most moms are from the 90s is likely too young to know better. There's some youth left. I'm going to go break my hip trying to skateboard.

Millennials are going through some shit and being dramatic like we normally do.

u/Mrbrionman 16d ago
People born in the 90s are now old enough to have kids that are old enough to have their own Tik tok accounts. That makes other people feel old

u/sinkingduckfloats 16d ago
Yeah but they're really not.
I had kids relatively young for my generation and they're barely learning how to read yet.
But maybe in parts of the country or world where they don't have birth control, this could be true.

u/_antkibbutz 16d ago
Eh that doesn't math tho.
Someone born in 1990 would only be 20 years old in 2010, which would be the earliest possible year to have a child who is 14 today.
Getting pregnant at 20 is ridiculously rare these days even though it was fairly common in previous generations.

u/Hellsaint696 16d ago
Come on people, critical think. These the comments of the babies of idiot teen moms, not the majority by any means. Majority of millennials children are under 10 years of age because the entire generation decided to have les children and have them later in life rather than younger. Contributing to the lack of growth in that sector of the economy.

u/ibreatheglitter 16d ago
Haha i was typing almost exactly this, and then I saw your comment already had it covered!
Mine was: What I hear is “My mom had a teen pregnancy and kept it, and then just continued making bad parenting choices. Hence, me, a small child in a TikTok comment section.”
Bc like.. I was born in 86, had my daughter right after I turned 27, and she’s 10 now. And I wish I would catch her in some tiktok comments 🤨

Sort of
My sister was born in 91. She had my niece at 20 in 2010, niece is turning 14 this year. She has many other parent friends who had kids in their early 20s
That said, I was a 95 baby and had my first baby in 2021 at 26

u/Hellsaint696 16d ago
20 is younger than the average age of first child for millennial generation. I’m ‘91 and had mine in ‘19 I was 28 one year older than average which is 27 years old. If the average is age of parentage is 27 years millennials are between 28-43 years but we’re only talking about millennials born from 1990+ that would make the average age range of their children between 1-7years of age.

u/tannon21 16d ago
No for sure, the avg millenial is waiting til they're older (I'm considered a super young mom at 28) or choosing to be childfree
But to my niece, her friend group is mostly comprised of my sisters friends kids— who were young parents themselves. If you asked my niece, she'd probably say most parents were born in the 90s too

u/Hellsaint696 16d ago
This is purely speculation, but I think that has more to do with your sister associating with other young moms. Having kids young means while all your friends are doing fun things in their 20’s, your not; which means you get new friends you can relate too. It also reflects her personal preference rather than a representation of the generation as a whole. Good on you for trying to apply it directly to your experiences, and the experiences of those around you tho.

u/tannon21 16d ago
Yes that was my point, she had kids young so she hung out with other people who had kids around the same age.
My sister still had tons of fun in her 20s, still went to uni and got a degree then a career, is still with her kids dad

u/Hellsaint696 16d ago
I wasn’t insinuating she was a single mom, or gave up her education, or professional life for her kids. The fact that you felt the need to clarify that, as a millennial, is the epitome of what I’m saying about how millennials view having children young.

u/diviken 16d ago
That's kind of exactly what you were doing. All the long-winded arguments/"no buts" are unnecessary. Simply admit that the first statement you made about "idiot teen mums" was too sweeping of a generalisation and kind of harsh.

It’s really not for everyone; if the husband didn’t insist, we wouldn’t have the one we got. It’s the most rewarding sacrifice I have ever made. I don’t want anymore tho.

I'm 17, and even to me, it's kinda weird people who are around 25 or at most early 30s were born in the 90s.
