Unpopular opinion

Vent- no advice needed

This is probably going to be an unpopular opinion, but I truly think that certain careers probably should not have multiple children. As a nanny I’ve seen many different types of parents in different careers and it’s just showed me that it’s almost impossible to truly give it your all in both your career and family life at the same time. I think it’s definitely doable but it’s just not fair to the kids if you’re someone who’s super career oriented! A lot of careers are just not family friendly unfortunately, especially for women!! As a woman I obviously hate that society has not made being a working mom easier for families, I just think that your career aspirations need to be really looked at and thought out before starting a family… I think a lot of families don’t realize you’re basically starting another full time job with 0 breaks when you have a baby, Just an observation as someone who has been a nanny for multiple years. 🤷🏼‍♀️ obviously this keeps us Nannie’s employed since childcare is a huge industry, it just makes me sad as someone who knows how quickly kids grow and how little there parents are able to be fully involved as well.
