    You clearly are not in a two-person working family with kids (let alone a single parent situation) if you think there is enough time in the day to make sure your kids are getting their massive amounts of homework they are given every day finished after doing your “non-mandatory” overtime, keep the house clean, get the laundry done, get the bills paid and have time to cook dinner every night.

    It’s not a myth, modern society keeps everyone intentionally so busy that families do not have the time to do what you think is simple.

    When my daughter was in elementary school, you know how much time I had to binge crappy Netflix shows? Between zero and half of zero.

    So yeah, we go out and get a burger from Wendy’s sometimes. Call CPS on us.

      Yeah those 2 really seem like they’re unburdened. Hell, 1 of then wants to live longer! How insane is that?

        I’d like to live longer too. You know what doesn’t help you live longer? Stress. You know what causes stress? Not having enough time in the day to get everything done.
