[QUOTE="THAT Gurl, post: 3459102, member: 45551"] This is the thing. It's all relative. My grandparents on my mom's side were migrant farmers during the Depression. My grandmother had my uncle on a cot in a tent with a dirt floor with no medical care, got up, swaddled her newborn and returned to the field to finish her pick for the day. I had my second child in veritable luxury compared to Grandma's experience at 1:00 in the afternoon and was back at work at 9:00 the next morning. (I was the only one who knew how to do payroll. Again, hardly "work" compared to what my grandmother went thru.) I have a co-worker who is pregnant with her first child now. She is due in January. She is CONSTANTLY whining about how "growing this tiny human" is destroying her health and how much she has already sacrificed. (I can hardly wait until she goes into labor -- and then gets home and realizes she can't send her "tiny human" back to the nursery for someone else to care for when she's tired of messing with it.) If our response to COVID does to the economy what I am afraid it's gonna do there are gonna be a LOT of people who learn pretty damn quickly that Americans, as a whole, are anything BUT tough any more.
