[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's that they were young and naive when they said those things. They didn't understand how tiring and complicated it is when you have kids and both parents have real careers. They didn't understand anything at all about the parenting grind. They're more tired now than they were in their twenties. And some of them were saying those things and truly aspired to do it, but simply do not have the executive functioning ability. [/quote]

+1 all of this resonates so much

I love the reference to YLS bc I went there, ha! And yes when I was in my 20s within my circle high achieving men were looking for similarly situated women. And the ideal of being some sort of power xouple, and genuinely excited for those early career wins

Tbh you just can't know how exhausting kids will be until they are here and what it takes and the unpredictability and also just wanting to be able to spend time with them. It changes everything and your sense of what's manageable and also how you want to live your life.

So basically - I think the intent was genuine and then... kids happened.[/quote]
