Professionals can see kids as a hindrance
Career professionals can see children as just a hindrance to work. Their whole world (or mostly) is their work and when they observe parenting, they just see the ways kids would get in the way of their work. For that reason, they’re always asking their mom friends if they can leave the kid with a babysitter—they assume their friend also feels the child is a hindrance.
