Not every person is designed to flourish or even survive while working 40 hour weeks. Some people cannot flourish or survive unless they are working 80 hours a week. There is a very false cliche that is repeated like it actually means something "if I can do it, so can you". This is a line of crap that is fed to society and most people eat it up like pudding on a spoon. We are all unique....some people only need 5 hours sleep and wake feeling refreshed and good. Others need at least 10. Just imagine what those longer sleepers could accomplish if they required less sleep. But the people who get 5 hours and feel fine think the ones who need 10 are lying and lazy which is stigma and false.

We have kids and pay someone else to raise them. Very few families have the privilege of actually raising their own children. And nobody talks about any of this and just keeps putting pressure on the populace to measure up to our neighbors. It makes no sense. (((Hugs)))
