I am this close 
Work, what is work anyway, can be and mean many things to people.
What is the cost to some one with a stay at home partner, full time janitors, child care, laundry experts, cooks, yard cleaners, part time teachers to help the kids with school work, Secretary and bill payer, medical provider, pet trainer, Hostest to company, door man, responsible for the safety of the home and one that will know when to greet you after work with a stiff drink when needed.
Bundel all this up with the partner having a full time job outside the house. Takes a team effort to keep the few hours both have at home. Where do the PTA and teachers conferences come in here, vacation is a foreign word.
My generation loved Maynard G Krebs, until the dude went into the Army with his friend Dobey a friend that was raised on the work ethic. Now our bongo playing Hippie had to become responsible and WORK for a living. Needless to say, this idea ended the sit com in a season or so.
Does it ever end, work ,of some kind, NOPE, even when after a life time of work and retirement still there are responcibilitys that add up to WORK.
The ONLY time one quits some kind of work is when in Jail, a nursing home or in the grave.
What is so wrong with work, has this become a mantra of Americans now that work is bad for your health??
