For example, in my household dad is super involved with our child and truly splits both the emotional and physical labor of running the household with me 50-50. But we are not wealthy and I don’t have an exciting career. Most other moms I know are life this as well-lots of money, but husband is barely home. Etc.

Eh I don't know about this. My husband makes a lot of money and we split everything 50/50. I work super part time and he still cooks dinner most nights!

I wouldn't call my job exciting. But that's on me. I'm sure another woman in my position could find an exciting, glamorous job. I have the opportunities and time, I just don't want to put in the effort.

Maybe it will all pay off and they will have a beautiful life and their kid(s) will also have a beautiful perfect life, as they are setting her up to have.

But I have a feeling there is a 50% chance that a slew of issues with explode. Explode. I don’t wish that on them, but there are things that are going to catch up to them eventually. Or like I said, maybe it will all work out / issues will continue to be masked.

And even if it does explode I have a feeling she will land on her feet. But my cousin and the kid(s)?—not so sure

I was attempting to share what I thought may be an experience others have had. The responses have pushed this thread into something I didn't intend, so I think I'll just end it there.

But my gosh I envy women who do parenting well. I envy women who have raised kind, intelligent, productive children. I want to know their secrets because there are days where I can barely keep it together. My own mother was not the greatest example/model for me and so I really admire these type of women.
