My sister work so hard. She have to kids, she is a single mom. she have one son who is 13 years old and will be starting schools as highschool students. Her daughter is 4 months old.
I know she is happy but i know sometimes she feel guilt if she dont have much time with her kids. There are no problem with her daughter because the father are supporting them. My sister is working because of her son. They have different father and my nephew never see his dad. He left them before he turn one year old. So for almost 13 years. And my sister dont want to put all the burden with her boyfriend. So she work hard for her son.
But she dont have much time with her daughter, work 6 days a week and her work eat ups all her time even her sunday.
I know she feel guilty about it but i know time will come when she have to chose between her time with her family and work.
what about you, are you also thorn between work and family that you dont have time with your own happiness?

I don't have my own family yet. I don't have plan yet to
settle down. Life nowadays were hard. I focused my energy in
finding money to save for the future. As of now I was able to
help my family financially and at the same time make my life
happy.

yes, enjoy life. make the best of what youth can offer to you. do whatever you want that will make you happy. make friends, travel abroad, experience everything, help your family, enjoy your family and when you settled down at least you will never have regrets that you never experience or you never tried what your single hood can offer or your youth can offer.

its hard to work when your not happy with what your doing and the people aroung your working environment. Your are staying in that work is because that is your bread and butter and you have to make the best out of it. You need that work because you need to support your family.
So i was hoping that everybody is happy with their family and the same time with their work.

What is so great about this is that she is happy with her work. You know some people are working for a living not because they love what they do. she love her work although of course she love her family more that anything else. My mom is happy about it and my mom is the one who take care of my nephew and my niece.
