[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am kind of lazy, I like to do nothing a lot.  Maybe just read or watch TV or surf the net.  Sit on my patio.

On the other hand, I also work full time and do a pretty good job if you can go by my performance evaluations.

I also like to sleep a lot, always have since I was a little kid.

So yeah, lazy, somewhat unmotivated at times, lacking in ambition by DCUM standards, but happy![/quote]

Op here, I appreciate your response and find it insightful. Have you always been this way or do you think you've improved some as an adult?[/quote]

I think I have always been this way.  I was unmotivated in school despite being very capable ("not living up to her potential") and had no desire to go to college when that time came.  I was lucky to marry a guy who agreed I should be a SAHM to our kids for at least their early years, and that allowed me to be somewhat lazy in life although I have often received compliments for being a great mom.  I did go to college later, in my 30s, and did very well, although I will never make much money with my degree.  I do love my job but it also allows me to relax a lot and have a lot of time off compared to most people.

I think I may have a borderline sleep disorder because I can sleep a whole lot.  I think the way I improved as an adult was it was clearer for me to understand why I ought to work hard or get up early or whatever than it was when I was a kid, and I have been just disciplined enough to do what I was supposed to do.

I think it must be very hard for an ambitious, motivated person to accept that they have a "lazy" child, but I would try really hard to accept that kid as they are because it's entirely possible for them to have a happy and productive life.[/quote]

Op here, thank you for posting this!! Also interesting that you don't once mention depression. A lot of family members have tried to give definition to my son's laziness and diagnose him as being depressed. I declare he's always seemed mostly happy, which I why I've decided he is naturally lazy. When I describe him that way I don't mean it negatively, thus the reason I add "nature" into the description. I just want ideas on navigating around it.[/quote]
