I'm 25 years old, working part-time at a coffee kiosk, inside of grocery store.
I only work twice a week so I can care for my father (81) & split that responsibility w my mother (58).
Recently, my workplace requested I pick up shifts during the week. I agreed, thinking I could follow through, but circumstances required me to call off. I feel guilty because this affects my coworkers who need to pick up that slack. I'm calling off today since my dad had an appointment I didn't know about, and my mother is sick atm and could never take him anyways since he needs a lot of physical help w those.
I just want help not giving a f-ck. Obviously, I'm going to call out and help my parents, but I just don't want to feel guilty about it. I mean it's such a mediocre job and I don't want to give a sh-t but I do.
Set me straight, reddit. I feel like a brainwashed, wage slaving, people pleaser and I need help.
