A mum has been blasted for her attitude after ranting online about her daughter choosing not to have a child. The Gen X parent, in her 40s, branded her girl, who was 22 at the time, "selfish" for deciding that she didn't want to have kids.The mum slammed "Millenials" for their thoughts on child-bearing - and even claimed she had to have two more children to carry on the bloodline, The Mirror reports.Taking to Facebook with her controversial opinions, the woman wrote: "I'm Gen X, and I have a huge problem with how I am left carrying the weight for Millennials"My daughter is 22 and decided a while ago she does not want any kids.

She's actually getting a procedure for sterilisation next year."But those souls needing to come into our family for ancestral or karmic reasons still need to be born. "So I'm stuck birthing and raising two babies who should have been born to her but can't be because she's too selfish to have kids."The Facebook post was shared on Reddit, where users were left enraged and confused about the mum's beliefs.One replied: "As a Millennial, it's exhausting that we're STILL getting blamed for everything."Another said: "Millennials are killing the 'Have a baby and use their existence to distract you from your problems' industry."Others were quick to point out that if her daughter is 22, then she would actually be classed as Gen Z, rather than a Millennial.

However, it doesn't change the fact that more and more young people - both Millenial and Gen Z - are choosing not to have children.There are many reasons for this, including the increased cost of living, shifting career focus, and environmental reasons.Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.You'll
