[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to prioritize. This is nothing new. Take a different job, or career, or don't have kids, or have only one, live near family.... The possibilities are endless so choose one and make it work.[/quote]

Exactly. So they need to stop telling women we can have it all. You just can't. Men can have it all. [/quote]

Only if you let them.[/quote]
No they can't. Men are expected to spend less time with their children. Having it all means having a meaningful career AND spending a meaningful amount of time with your child(ren).

I think things will slowly change as women demand men do more at home when both partners are working full-time. As soon as working women aren't expected to do 90% of household and childcare duties AND work a full-time job, things will get better. The professional women I know are "leaning out" because there's no way to do everything. I see their men clean and change 1/2 the diapers, but they are making nearly all of the decisions and doing all of the meal prep, class sign up, child care arrangements, doctor appointments, holiday shopping, travel planning, etc. How are they supposed to become partner at that rate? There aren't enough hours in the day if they didn't even sleep at all. [/quote]
