If you’re an 80’s or 90’s baby who now has a baby of your own – but you still feel like you’re figuring things out yourself – Millennial Dads is for you! Hosted by Andy Goh and Brian Solomon, Millennial Dads is for any parent, but will ring most true for fathers of our unique generation.
We’ll be honest with you, listeners. When we sat down to record this episode, we had a completely different topic in mind, but with the heavily publicized murder of an innocent woman on Charlotte’s (our hometown) light rail, and the political violence that has spread like wildfire, neither of us felt like we could ignore what’s going on.
In today’s episode of Millennial Dads, we decided to address some of the current events happening in our community, both locally and nationally, and how it relates to our never-ending efforts to be the best fathers we can be. It’s not easy raising kids even in the best of circumstances, but the general tone and feel of our current moment seem to add an extra layer of doubt and anxiety.
We talk about how we’re feeling about it all (not great!), while also discussing the many reasons why people of our generation are choosing to not have kids, resulting in an unsustainably low birthrate in the US.
