My mother was a teacher that had to raise me on her own. She'd make sure I was awake, that I got ready and left for the bus, left shortly before I did, got home after I did, had to take care of my dumb-ass and cook. She'd have to put up with my problems, she'd help with homework, had piles of stuff to grade for work, maintain a household/fix the fixer-upper she was able to afford on a teacher's salary. My mother has difficulty recognizing her limits as she's getting older and feels like if she's not constantly doing that she's doing something wrong.
I hear my coworkers talk about all the shit they have to do for their kids and that's on top of going home dead tired because we're so understaffed. People are breaking themselves to give their kids a chance and we're stuck seeing these out of touch weirdos post their schedules as if they're the true working grinding doers of society.
Incredibly self-indulgant. Working class parents, especially the single ones, are the real 90 hour workweek CEOs.
