I feel old and tired with all the family responsibilities since I was a teenager. Often I feel exhausted emotionally and mentally and then I pick myself up to move forward as I don’t have an option to quit. Who can I blame? None. 😢

As someone who had also had to carry heavy burden on my shoulders from a young age, i see you. i often take time to take care of my inner child - which is actually a therapy approach i learned. Hope you are able to take some time to talk to therapists or indulge in things you might feel like you missed or need.

Thank you!

Same here. I just live for a better day. Tired. Sometimes envy those who had fun in 20s. Always working for some goal or being responsible. Even in relationships, feel so damn tired of being the responsible one. I look for the more responsible one so I can relax. 😔 As I believe in the concept of reincarnation, I wish in my next life I have fun.

I’m hoping to steer clear of any scams by posting & I know it’s been posted before but, again, scams. Anyway, I am looking for something that can be done remotely on nights and weekends after I get home from my daily in-office job. My sister passed away & I’m now helping raise her kids. With Christmas coming, I’m nervous and dreading the season not only to not have her but will I make it a happy one for the kids. I need extra income but need to be home with them in the evenings.

Can’t predict the future but family is already talking about trips and I want to set expectations and do what is best for baby. TIA!!

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc
