a womb with a view
A life where you're safe and comfortable but can still peek out and see the mess everyone else is making.
My mom lives in a womb with a view. She never leaves the house but knows all the gossip.
I got a womb with a view when I moved to the suburbs. I can see the city but I don't have to go there.
My brother's a womb with a view. He plays video games all day but still watches the news.
