In my case, I was a caretaker for my uncle who lived here in New York City.
He was gay and single, didn't have a traditional quote unquote family.
And I felt like I was failing at all of the roles and the grief attached to that.
Never feeling like you were 100% in any of the roles that you were expected to fill.
I think you're right.
So whatever that is, you're hitting your stride and then a wrench is thrown in and mom or dad had a stroke and you're trying to get people to rehab appointments and, you know, doctors and prescriptions getting filled and making sure a home care attendant shows up.
And so you're at the peak of the point of your professional life and you're stymied again.
Yeah.
So in the beginning, we're stymied because we don't know enough and we're just starting out in our career and we're trying to get our feet below us and find our balance.
And when we do, the rug is pulled out.
It is staggering.
And I also think it doesn't capture the lost opportunity of income.
So that statistic refers to women actually having to leave an occupation.
If you think about it, Jonathan, how about all of the women that have had to forego taking on additional responsibilities or promotions or even being considered for those jobs?
Exactly.
And I think that as women, we've worked really hard to be counted, and to take part and be part of the dialogue.
And because of the way our society sees us as caretakers, naturally, and because we do want to care, because we are mothers, we are daughters, and generally speaking,
When it comes to roles, that is the role we're all filling.
It's really hard to say no.
But the stress then associated with that, because it's also not the actual tasks, Jonathan, it's the mental space.
