In all seriousness, I think it's sandwich generation stuff... raising kids in a time where very hands-on parenting is the norm, often while working a full-time job, while juggling aging parents.

Also, marital division of labor issues in two working-parent families. Many women my age (40) were raised that they could do anything and that has turned into doing everything. [/quote]

this.  I could do anything but I feel horrible because I only do 10% of what people expect me to do, I do a bad job at most things and am completely exhausted.

It could be way worse but we are told we are never, ever good enough.  And we have 6 effective jobs whereas we used to just have 1. We are expected to do 2x more than peopel in the 50s at a job, and always be working. Parenting is twice as hard, we manage elders and our kids and both are much more complex than they used to be.

I realize I have 3x more money than I realistically need in any way but I am a debtor -- I have so much time debt that I feel miserable all the time.
