Women are expected to work like they aren’t mothers and mother like they don’t have jobs.

THIS. I was always bitter about this. You almost have to be on some kind of medication to make it work and keep you going. Even if you take children out of the equation, it's still the women that, after working all day, have to come home and clean the house, shop for the meal, cook it, clean the dishes, do the laundry, and try to find some "me" time in all of that. Now add children to the mix. Something's gotta give. (In my house, the housework suffered a hit. I am not superwoman. I cannot do it all. I refuse to be on medication to get the energy and will to get it done, and I refuse to enslave my children to do it because that's what my mother did to me).
