Antiwork

For the first time ever my boomer dad said, “yeah, well now you just work for enough to live, that’s how it is right now.”

I was shocked. He’s a boomer with adult add that loves to work 60-80 hours a week AND it’s his emotional coping mechanism. All growing up he would just say, “go to work!” And that’s all we did with him was work. He got a 4 year masters degree with 7 kids and a full time job, paid his way as a night janitor at a k12. Idk man. If he’s admitting it times are pretty scary.
