Antiwork

I’m 21 and don’t know what to do with my life just yet. My mom constantly makes me feel like that’s a bad thing

So I didn’t go to work today. I’ve been experiencing burnout and decided not to go for own well-being. Once I told my mom, she said that I should push through anyway and “that’s just life”. I explained to her that everyone needs a day off for themselves sometimes no matter how old you are. She says I’m acting like a child by complaining and that life is only gonna get harder so I need to push through and do things I don’t wanna do. I never call off work.

She also got on my case about my spending. I have a savings account that I put money into every paycheck, granted I opened it much later than I should have but I’m not blowing money or anything. I put money aside and then spend some on things that make me happy because I know I’m young and won’t always have the ability to do so. My point is I’m sick and tired of my mom thinking she is right about everything and that I’m not entitled to having feelings. I swear some of the older generations just don’t get it sometimes.
