Give it up.

Definitely. Though, interestingly enough, We saw people say, I had a messed up childhood. I don't want to repeat that. We also saw people say, I had a really difficult childhood and I want to create a happy family. Like when I think about why I want to have kids in my life is because I want to give them what I didn't have. And so I feel like that can go both ways. And in fact, I saw people say it.

You know, I had a happy enough childhood, but I'm not sure I can do the same for my children or how to do it. Or, you know, my sister is going to have the kids and I'm going to be a happy aunt or uncle. So the question of the family history, I think, can go either way. But what's definitely true, and I think that's something actually we don't talk about enough, is that...

For many of us, it doesn't take something as dramatic as a completely absent father to actually wonder, do I want to recreate the childhood and family life that I've had? And also feeling kind of helpless that I don't even know how I would do different.

No, I think that's so true. And I think it's not just you're sort of wondering, oh, how do I not create it? You're also thinking, okay. man, like even when it's going okay, it is so tough. I'm not sure I can do a good job of it. And I need to sacrifice maybe my career progress, maybe the quality of my relationship, my own personal growth. Maybe I can't do better.

We also see something I sometimes call the kind of self-evidence of a logic of infinite postponement. I've heard from women who will talk about even in their
