[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the big issue is that millennials were sold a fake dream. We were told we could have everything we wanted and that women were just as smart/equal as men. It's been very humbling as an adult to realize that so much is still set up for SAHMs. School hours are so short, work hours are so long, and so much falls only on women. I married a perfect guy, so this isn't man bashing. We had it easier during covid when we all worked remotely, but every year life get progressively harder and harder. My female friends and I all want to go part time, but no part time jobs exist in our fields and I think we aren't ready to give up our entire careers. My best friend and I both tried at our respective companies to propose a part time schedule. We would forgo benefits too, but work said no.

I think it was easier for our moms and grandmas. They realized from the start that they either needed a pink collar job or to be a SAHM. They also prioritized men who provided instead of love matches like we did. [/quote]

My mom worked as her income was enough for child care.  I quit as day care for one child was equal to my take home with a professional job.  They had it easier.  My grandparents would also help.  Mine live close and never help, even for an emergency.  [/quote]
