Picture a Gen Y or a millennial. What do you see? A techie bro in a sweatshirt parked in front of a laptop or smartphone? A twenty-something snapping a selfie or video? You probably didn’t picture a parent spending time with one or two children. And yet, as the oldest millennials approach 40, more than +40% of the generation identifies as parents. The stereotypes don’t align with the stats, dads are taking more active roles and no longer moms are just cooking at home. You are no longer just talking to moms or women who use to make decisions around consumer or household goods.
