“Generation X women, who as children lacked cell phones and helicopter parents, came up relying on our own wits. To keep ourselves safe, we took control. We worked hard and made lists and tried to do everything all at once for a very long time without much help. We took responsibility for ourselves--and later we also took responsibility for our work or partners or children or parents. We should be proud of ourselves.” LifeWisdomInspirationInspirational QuotesWomenGritGeneration XGen XGen Xers Book:Why We Can't Sleep: Women's New Midlife Crisis Source: Why We Can't Sleep: Women's New Midlife Crisis
