[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eye roll sorry you’re describing about 70% of jobs people have to do, and they don’t have the privilege of quitting.

Oh getting ready for an hour, commuting, not browsing..oh the horror of this cruel, most cruel, job.

Stop writing novels to justify you’re not cut out to work and don’t have to work. [/quote]

Yes, her strict 8 hr workday job, at an air conditioned desk, is ‘grueling’

Go back to hang with the ladies at lunch, accept your mantle as housewife since you have aged out of SAHM.

Wow, you all sound super jealous and mean spirited. OP acknowledged she is in a privileged position but was seeking advice from a personal and perhaps future job perspective.

OP - I like the advice that some others gave - stick it out for a year, then move on.[/quote]

Sorry, but Op is pretty tone death to complain with such hyperbole about a normal office job and commute in a  forum with a lot of working parents who don’t have the luxury of being a kept woman.

She is welcome to post for career advice on navigating to a part time job or a field she is interested in, but the gnashing of teeth and wistfully hanging with her teens makes it sound like she works in a mine with no weekends. [/quote]
There are all kinds of people who post on here.  This is her life, and she is asking for advice.   If you don't like sharing a forum with super privileged people, maybe you should find a different forum.

No, I am not OP, but I am also super privileged in that I have been wfh for the past several years, earning six figures.  But this gig is probably going to come to an end in a few years, and I am going to have to find a "real" job in the "real" world, get up early and commute an hour like most everyone else.  I am not looking forward to it.  My kids will be older HS by then, and I might come on here looking for advice much like OP.

If someone posted a thread about how they were struggling with their job, commute, balancing work/life, then OP came on here with her problems, then I could see how she is tone deaf to complain. But OP didn't do that. She started her own thread. You can choose not to engage and post on a thread about a problem that you can't possibly fathom.  It's like if someone posted on here about buying a LV bag vs MK bag, and some poor person came on saying how tone deaf these folks were to be discussing these options while they were struggling with medical bills.  As sympathetic as I would be to that poor person, I would say to that person you don't need to read and post every thread topic.

People can post about the mundane things about their lives to their first world problems on this forum. I skip the ones that I find mundane or about LV vs MK bags because I don't buy expensive bags, and personally, I find it a waste of money. But, to each her own, especially on what mundane ridiculous first world problems they want to post about. Not sure who made you the forum police.  This forum already has a moderator, and I'm pretty sure you are not that person.

And the "kept woman" remark also indicates that you are  bitter and jealous.  I'm sorry  your life sucks, and I get you are taking your frustrations about your life out on an anonymous forum to some anonymous person who has a better life than you.  I hope your  life gets better.[/quote]
