[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Define do nothing? [/quote]

I would mean nothing as not earning a paycheck, but also contributing as little as possible to the family, not even going to a workout class, barely leaving the house. Not adding to society - not providing a positive contribution (not just money). Maybe going to the grocery store, but little else. Perhaps taking days to leave the house. Is it depression, anxiety, self entitlement? All of the above? [/quote]

You are making weird assumptions here.

First, one need not leave the house to be productive. I sometimes stay home all day and clean the house, care for our animals, do planning and administrative work for the kids, and work on a longterm freelance project. I might also read a book, do some yoga, enjoy some quite moments drinking my tea or eating lunch. If you were my nosy neighbor trying to figure out what I do with my days, you might conclude I "do nothing" because you don't see me hurrying about. That would be your problem, not mine.

But if someone was really just sitting in their home doing nothing all day, every day, yes I would assume they were depressed. I would not be angry at them or resent them, I'd feel bad and want to help them. Does that sound like a good life to you? It sounds horrible to me. I don't understand why you would be hostile to someone like this; I would assume they were struggling and needed some help in order to instill more purpose and joy in their lives.[/quote]

If you have kids you can’t say you do nothing.  You’re not a member of the club.  By definition. [/quote]
