They are awesome moms and awesome surgeons, but, like Ellis, both Callie and Bailey had certain circumstances to achieve being awesome at both which Meredith doesn't have. Bailey had Tuck at the height of her residency, like Ellis, and ultimately had to sacrifice her marriage to further her career. With Callie, she was fortunate enough to have Sofia while she was an attending, and there were three parents to ease the burden.

I wasn't saying that Bailey and Callie are terrible moms: they're anything but. However, like Ellis, circumstance allowed all three to be awesome surgeons.

With Meredith, it's a lot more difficult having two kids; being extraordinary at both is very difficult.
