Like attracts like, people. Such high-achievers, whether men or women, are not the norm. You are perhaps most likely to run across them in educated and wealthy areas, of course, but if you're so intelligent, surely you understand that you belong to a rarified strata of society?

I agree about like attracts like.  The OP has a group of friends who are all very similar.    At the same time as her friends are working day and night to keep up materially, there are at-home super moms out there who had no intention of working full time when their children were born.    That’s my “cohort”.  We occasionally travel together, we take our kids to do things they wouldn’t be able to do if we worked.  We carpool in the summer when a lot of our kids go to arts camp.   We live our lives in a way that feminists scoffed at.  OP and her friends decided to work and have children which is not unusual.

Looks like the OP is trying to make “high achieving millennials” happen as if it’s some new phenomenon.    [/quote]

Op here to be clear I’m specifically talking about classmates from my Ivy League. I don’t see many SAHM- def some but overwhelmingly working top, flexible jobs. Just curious if you are finding that your SAHM moms are all from ivys or similar?  Many of them I’m not even close with but still Facebook friends and can see their job posts/ family posts. [/quote]
