[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I get it. You are probably young and brought up to believe that there is something called work/life balance and that such balance is what both you and your employers are invested in to grow an employee such as yourself, one who is dedicated, energetic, intelligent.

This is an ideal and, while excellent on paper, bears little to no resemblance to what happens in the work world today.

For whatever reason, you really don't understand that you are lucky to have a job in this economy and still expect someone to appreciate you. We are all stressed out. Nobody is getting adequate vacation. Everyone is tired on Mondays. No one appreciates us and we can be replaced with someone just like us in a hot second.

Maybe you have a parent's basement you can move into when you lose your job. Many people don't. That makes them hungrier than you and more willing to embrace a job with a whopping two weeks vacation without complaint.

You have some options, including the one the PP recommends, having kids. Of course, having a kid just because it might give you purpose (or code: make you feel appreciated when you aren't appreciated by your job...) might not be the best strategy.

A kid should be wanted for themselves. They shouldn't be a Plan B.[/quote]

Um, if the OP can't afford a housecleaner with the job, how is she going to afford to have a kid and quit?   What a weird response this is!

And again, yeah, everyone is stressed/rough economy, et cetera, but it's pretty clear from these boards that there are huge differences in income, so a lot of people on here have a stressful job but at least get paid enough to afford a housecleaner.  When your job is stressful and you don't make enough for hired help at home and you don't get much time off, it's a different story.[/quote]
