[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am trying to teach my 10 year old son to multitask, but he just can’t do it.  Meanwhile my daughter at 7 can.  [b]I think there is some wiring issue at play.[/b]  Or willpower.  I dunno.[/quote]

If this were true [note: I do not think it is], it’s pretty confusing why women are consistently paid less, placed in leadership roles less often, and routinely treated as less capable, more volatile, and less important.

I wish we could strike without hurting kids. After the last year, I’ve never felt more resentful if being the one who is “just better” at planning, organizing, and making things happen. I want to be the mildly incompetent one who gets praised for trying just to encourage me to keep participating. I want to be the one for whom 90% of childcare/healthcare tasks simply do not occur to me. I want people to call me a “rockstar mom” because I’m nice to my kids and help out around the house some.

I want those low low DH expectations and a wife who picks up the slack because otherwise our lives would be miserable. Sounds like good gig, plus the pay is better for some reason![/quote]

Because generalists and all around efficient people are never the ones who are in leadership. They make good project managers and assistants though.[/quote]
