[quote=Anonymous]In many families I know, it is derived from the man being more selfish. Most of my friends are at least as smart and accomplished as their DH but slowly deprioritized their career over time because their husbands did not truly rise to 50/50 partnership and something's gotta give. I feel like many of us are living the cliche that we were the generation that was told they could be anything and heard they had to do everything. As we are turning 40 and our kids' emotional needs get more complex, many are crying uncle and dropping the balls that can be dropped. If they are lucky and have their finances in order, that is most often work, whether it's stepping back entirely, working part-time, findng a lower key job or even staying in a stagnant job due to family demands. I often wonder what this will look like for my DD's generation (she is a young kid). [/quote]
