While I think the trend toward delayed parenthood is a big problem & maternal age is the best indicator for that, this is not a lady problem. I don’t even think this mess has much to do w feminism or tinder. Cultural pessimism, memes about parents + deranged norms do the trick

A lot of people who feel any desire at all to be parents have so internalized the idea that it is both boring & all-consuming that they cannot imagine going for it until they’re already bored & feeling somewhat directionless re: everything else in life

Yep — “doing it right” is at the center of all of these deranged parenting norms. People have no idea what “good enough” parenting looks like — can’t even begin to plot the space between perfection & borderline child neglect. I think about this all the time & can’t do it
