The most difficult thing to achieve is this clean distinction between homelife and the pressures of employment,some do it very well,humans are,if nothing else,easily adaptable to circumstance.

If only more people thought the same way.
Some of the most messed up kids I met back in high school, were the one's that were pre-occupied with status symbols and what mom and dad did for a living. It's almost like these kids were living through mom and dad, and defined themselved by the job successes and failiures of the parents. They had no sense of identity.
