Missing my sisters baby shower and whole birth has made me realize some of the sacrifices I made going to grad school. I used to lived with my first nephew, now I’m scared my second won’t know who I am 
Economic precocity and overwork culture formalized by institutions is bad. Like, I don't get to see my family as much now for a different reason -- I moved to my fiancees coast. But I was a lot more cognizant of that sacrifice than I was of the ones associated with grad school.

I only argue that it's problematic to think the problem is rooted in grad school and not just a larger problem with society in our overall work-life balance. I mean I had to miss the birth of my second son, I wasn't in grad school and it wasn't unique. So

Yes, it is part of a larger problem. But {precarity, geography, and work balance} make it particularly common in grad school. And no one else said it was unique.
