I'm super exhausted of doing thus life thing here in the US. There's gotta be more to life than working away from home and being away from family because that's where the money is. I'm missing out on milestones at home but I see them through my phone at least. We're privileged enough to keep one parent at home to keep cost down. That's been a blessing! But I'm super exhausted of constantly trying to plan the next financial move so we can be set for the next few months. I mean paying down cars, getting rid of subscriptions, buying even more generic than we already do.
And on top of it all the Healthcare workforce is literally crumbling in front of us. The nation's biggest Healthcare strike is happening alongside the UAW. Like cmon. We're in a country where patriotism is boasted and where it's supposed to be “free”, free of stupid adversity brought on by corporate greed but no. We're over worked instead with no time to even cook and do healthy stuff. I know it's what they want but shit.
And above all. When I'm home in present af with the house and everyone in there. I cherish those days so much. Meanwhile there's kids not getting the daylight of attn (my inner child) bc their parents are working (or not). What is mental health. I'm constantly in a battle between just pulling my monies out and leaving it to her for her to appropriate for a while.
Anyone else? Especially adults who are present at home with their families.
