The thing wearing on me is that this isn’t how a career oriented parent is parenting today. Maybe a 1950s dad? But even executive level dads today are home more and not laying in bed in a house with a preschooler who’s awake and they’ve hardly seen for weeks. Career moms still carry a lot of the mental load of families but many times I’ve had calls with even career dads cancelled because they’re home with a sick kid.
Career dads with stay at home wives aren’t this disengaged.
It’s not a career vs parenthood thing at all despite her efforts to sell it as that - I think you hit the nail on the head that she is done with motherhood.
