Pre-parental anxiety

Pre-parental anxiety is what modern day parents worry about when deciding whether to have children or not. Its a composite of anxieties about multiple issues including about societal shifts, climate change and FOMO about regretting not having children later on but not having the option available then.
Male partner: I'm not sure if I want to have kids, there are so many people already in the world today and limited resources. Plus I like enjoying our kid-free time right now.
Female partner: I agree, but if we wait too long and then decide we want them in 10 years, it might be difficult later.

Seesaw parenting

When one spouse is working the other parent is in charge of all things parenting:cooking, cleaning, diapers, taking them to school, packing their snacks and lunch, etc. then after a set period of time, the other parent takes over to switch roles.
Yeah I’m not sure what happens in the mornings and how they get to school…. But I do dinner and bedtime. It’s a bit of seesaw parenting
