I’ve never heard Gen X described as lazy…more the opposite. I’m at the edge of Gen X and Millennial but always felt more aligned with Gen X. I must have gone through my mid life crises early bc I did some soul searching 5 years ago about what was really important to me and how I wanted to change my life. I made career and family decisions and feel good about it where I ended up.

Ha, No.. Gen X is the opposite of lazy.

Never heard Gen X described as lazy. Apathetic, maybe but we’re the hardest working least entitled.

I’ll echo the definitely not lazy sentiment. We’ve grown up with the ultimate double standard of having to do all of the women/wife/mom/parent load plus hustle at our jobs to even try to compete with our male “counterparts”.

Yes agree and we didn’t even have rich parents to let us live in their house or help us buy house.

Lazy!? Definitely not. Maybe a bit more pessimistic than other generations, but can you blame us? Love all my fellow Gen X peeps, especially us ladies. I think we’re pretty badass. Book and street smarts with a little bit of punk rock mixed with class!

Definitely. I feel like being right on the border between gen X and the millennial generation, I have often found myself at odds with how they describe gen X. But I'm relating more to them in the past couple years and this concept of the mid life crisis is really hitting home for me lately. i am seriously SO tired

Lazy? I’ve never heard that - and I’ve done generational research for work. Cynical and wanting to have a life outside of work, but not lazy.

Husband and I have been trying to conceive for a little over a year with no luck. All of our testing came back normal except his morphology was at 6%. RE is recommending IUI as next step with letrozole (and also looking like progesterone and ovulation trigger shot from the paperwork) I’m scared of the drugs and potential effect on my hormones, body, and future cycles. Can anyone please share their experience with these drugs and any side effects? Should we maybe start with natural IUI first?

Any advice as to how to help my other-half (who has bouts of anxiety and depression) apply to jobs? He’s going through a particularly rough patch at the moment. We had a big chat the other day which was great! However, even if we agreed that I’m doing everything I can for him (his words) it has to come from him (which we both agreed). He’s having a real mental block (I think with writing cover letters mostly) he describes staring at the screen feeling incapable. Any suggestions?

So supposed to head out of town for a long weekend with friends starting the evening of 4/21. My one friend and her son tested positive for Covid on 4/13 and have been sick.

I don’t think my friend has quarantined long enough to be sitting with 6 people driving in a van to our location unmasked as well as in the hotel room. Would you go on this trip?

I'm not used to IF and had coffee with coconut oil this morning. Thought I was going to pass out since I waited until 11 to eat.

Thinking about adjusting starting to eat at 9:30/10 tomorrow instead.
