Reply to comment by ScottRiqui in TIL that CBS offered actress Candice Bergen to work as a journalist after "Murphy Brown". She declined, not wanting to blur between actor and journalist. by DragonTonguePunch

Can we at least admit the common sense of it all? If you're in a busy career, you have no time for family including spouses and children. The children are eventually raised by nannies, babysitters, and Disney+. That seems to have worked so well for Gen Z kids. /s

She was in a relationship, became pregnant, and then the father "noped" out of the relationship. Single motherhood is not ideal, but what would you have had her do, especially considering that she was at least in a better financial situation than most women who have to make the choice?

And are you really saying that anyone (male or female) in a "busy career" shouldn't even have a spouse since they "have no time" for one?

It is something to consider before marriage and kids since "career" - for working husband or wife - is often cited for breakups in marriages. Look at Tom Brady. And he only "works" 6 months out of the year.

So... are you saying she should have just not had kids because she liked her job?

In movies and TV, you can have your cake and eat it too. In reality, the majority of people are working beyond 50 hours a week which doesn't include travel. Pregnancies also are unplanned. She had a "white people problem" in that her financial position gave her several options.
