There’s a difference between who plans to leave their career and who ends up leaving.
Some paths: - childcare is more expensive than one partner earns after taxes, and it’s cheaper for one parent to stay home. - managing work / commute / child appointments (especially if they have special needs) / child sickness / childcare is so overwhelming that a parent quits their job to have fewer things to manage. Or they feel they’re failing at the combination of work and parenting and must pick one. - the family is financially secure enough they feel they can do ok on one income, even though they’re not at their wits’ end.
Once you start looking at content in this direction, the algorithms will feed you pro-full-time-mom content. Start searching for things like “homeschool preschooler” and I bet you’ll get plenty of videos extolling full-time motherhood made by people hoping to become Ballerina Farm.
