I've been married for 12 years and we have two kids, but I still think the nuclear family model puts too much pressure on parents—especially moms—to be everything at once. My wife and I both work, yet she still handles most of the school runs and sick days, and that's not because she wants to. We've talked about moving closer to my parents or hers for support, but that feels like giving up on our independence. Is it realistic to expect two parents to raise well-adjusted children without a village, or are we just setting ourselves up for burnout and resentment?
