The Trap of “Working Hard” for your Children

[@TheChenny73]

You work for yourself. You take care of your children but when time comes they go off on their own.

nice view.

My mother is a kind of person with a mind of pre-baby-boomer generation, who looked after me at home despite other parents were working together for a better financial position. In retrospect, the classmates from the working parents were very logical at discerning things, had above average grades, and were able to solve things that I couldn’t have done myself. On the other hand, I was less intelligent and had an emotion that didn’t sugarcoat anything that came out between my teeth - that had constantly sent me to the principal’s office (LOL) Fast forward 30 years, I am now living with my mother - just the two us - under the same roof, while I’m hearing my colleagues at work expelling their parents to nursing homes.

Thank you for sharing your story, when I hear of children expelling their parents to nursing homes I think about our setup and the preparation of what we must do as loving family members to take care of them 🙏🏻

Your family is your #1 priority

I can't help to notice your wife is seeking for more of your time, she's desperately trying to tell you something here.

[@foftylife]

you are very perceptive, and correct! our current setup is costly and we have put an expiration date to it 🙏

[@jamiealisonkl]

You got that right! My whole life I helped others and realised I haven't taken care of myself. It's been extremely hard to say no to so many people and causes, but now I must help support my children and health fully. Making this video really shows how much I crave for our family to be together again without waiting till August 😮

I like you guys but self care fraise is something that comes and goes sometimes you may have time for yourself

[@foftylife]

It definitely comes and goes, and it's important to recognize it when it comes 👌
