They said: "I think moms in past generations had better boundaries and more independent children so there was less overwhelm per child. A birthday cake and pin the tail on the donkey vs millennial moms throwing Instagram-worthy wedding-level extravaganzas for 5th birthday parties."
Another said that grandparents' input to parenting has changed and is not the same as it was for past generations.
They wrote: "One of the biggest differences I see in my community of mom friends is lack of help/support from grandparents. I grew up with a grandma who was almost like a second mom to me. All of my child’s grandparents are still working and busy with their own lives. They see my son maybe once every 10-14 days and my in-laws live 10 minutes away."
