And, as a professor, a sabbatical is not just a short-notice thing to do whatever with. Proposals must be made, committees must evaluate it, etc.

if you’re wondering why JD Vance doesn’t think childcare is expensive, it’s because his mother-in-law dropped her professorship to become a live-in nanny, as he believes “post-menopausal females” should do. he also suggested that otherwise, she should’ve paid for their childcare.

Host: That's the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female in theory. Did your in-laws and particularly your mother-in-law show up in some huge way? Vance: She lived with us for a year. Host: Right. I didn't know the answer there. So that's this weird unadvertised feature of marrying an Indian woman. Vance: Yeah. It's in some ways the most transgressive thing I've ever done against sort of the hyper-neoliberal approach to work and family. My wife had this baby seven weeks before she started the clerkship. Still not sleeping any more than an hour and a half in a given interval. And her mom just took a sabbatical. She's a biology professor in California. Just took a sabbatical for a year and came and lived with us and took care of our kid for you. It was just one of those things where it's like, this is what you do. Host: So a biology professor Ph.D… Vance: Yes. Host: Drops what they're doing… Vance: Yeah! Host: To immediately tend to the needs of a new mother with her infant.
