When couples fight about whose career sacrifice matters more during parenting crises

My partner and I both work full-time and we keep having the same fight about whose job matters more when our kid gets sick or school calls, and we've started keeping score of who has sacrificed what and it's making us resent each other. We both know the system is impossible but we're taking it out on each other instead of figuring out how to navigate it together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are turning structural impossibility into personal failure, competing instead of collaborating against a system that demands the impossible.
