Man claims millennials who don't have kids will be sad and confused by the time they're 40 and thousands queue up to tell him why he's wrong

A man who claims that millennials who don't have kids will be "in for a shock when they enter their 40s & realise life is only half over," has been met with a raft of backlash. Shane Morris, who describes himself on Twitter as a podcast host and writer, shared his controversial opinion which has now been shared tens of thousands of times and has over 15,000 responses.

He shared to his 3,300 followers: "Millennials who are very cavalier about not having children are in for a shock when they enter their 40s & realise life is only half over. What do you do at that point? Keep trying to be sexy & have fun? I expect to see a lot of sadness & confusion about what to do at that point.

"Without the natural connections and belonging that literally emerge from marriage and fertility, the latter years become very cold and lonely. Those "Friendsgivings" will get old, quickly."
