A dinner conversation that's still bothering me.

53. I see it really strongly in childcare and splitting duties

So many of my male friends and colleagues get together and talk about the same thing - how to split duties and support each other so we can both get our jobs done.

And you see it in childcare too -- there's an ENORMOUS demand for childcare in cities now. So big that a private equity firm bought the biggest player in childcare (Bright Horizons), raised prices sky high to take advantage of long waiting lists, and continues to operate the firm.

We are in a new generation of working families, at least in cities and in any place where women hold professional jobs.

It's a tragedy HRC had the election stolen away, as she was talking about better childcare and maternity leave. Now we get Ivanka's plans to reduce taxes on nannies. Blech.
