The New York Times published a video by Shaina Feinberg asking if it’s possible to be a great mom and have a great career

New York Times published a video by "filmmaker" Shaina Feinberg posing the question: “Is it possible to be a great mom and have a great career?” This question has purportedly “plagued” Feinberg , a filmmaker, and her mother's decision to give up her career to raise her daughters still haunts her mother, the Times says.

The danger of this narrative is that it reinforces the belief that, as Joan Darling put it, “The only thing that matters is the quality of your experience.” This statement is, on its face, a call to live an entirely self-centered life. But, even more concerning, it is also a call for constant questioning, deconstruction, and self-evaluation: “Am I receiving the highest quality experience possible?”.
