re: The goal of many Gen Z and millennial women is now to be a DINK—dual income and no kids

why have kids you're going to give someone else to raise? that's what a mom is for, to mother. nobody can mother your kid but their mother. you shouldn't have kids if you're just gonna stick 'em in day care.

Because nobody would have kids if they had to depend on just one income for 5-6 years. Then you would be complaining about how all these deadbeat people are just staying home and not working....you can't have it both ways. Guess what there are a lot of women out there who want to have kids and a career, it's not 1955 anymore where mom stays home and patiently waits all day for dad to come home. My wife is a clinical pharmacist and works her butt off and is still a great mom and if I ever told her she just needs to stay home and be a baby machine she'd probably punch me in the face.

Since we both work, that means our kids have had to go to daycare for a bit. They get to play with other kids, learn to listen to adults other than mom and dad, and have access to fun activities.
