it's a First World moan, isn't it ?
You come home from work and ask your wife how's she's doing. She looks at you, tired, gestures and says 'Living the Dream'.
You go to pick your kids up from your sister-in-law, and when you ask her how she's doing, she's also 'Living the Dream'.
Brother-in-law ? same. Neighbours ? Co-workers ? Same.
Mowing the lawn ? Living the Dream. Plunging the toilet ? Living the dream.
I suppose it's a sarcastic way of complaining without actually having anything real to complain about.
I'd much prefer "I'm knackered - haven't sat down all day" as a response, to "Living the Dream".
I might have chuckled at that once upon a time, but let's move on.
erm, sorry, had to get that off my chest.
