[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are living on the edge with no margin.  They don’t have enough money, they don’t get to rest, their health is poor, and the political situation is not ok. When you are in a constant state of stress you don’t have the energy to handle slights in a gracious way, and you’re not taking the time to be appreciative and kind either.[/quote]

Yes I feel this way. I have money, rest, health, but I cannot stay on top of constant kid activities, life stuff, constant kid mess, cooking dinner nightly, just regular cleaning on my house. I work until 11pm at night on all of that and don't ever get it done. I also have a very helpful husband.

One school day off, or a sick kid, and I'm wrecked for the week. I take off work (plenty of annual leave), but then can't catch up at work. At work I'm doing the work of 5 people. We're very short staffed.

The worst part is that I had absolutely everything handled before RTO. We were like a well oiled machine. I was killing it at work, I had all kid stuff down. I wasn't doing non work activities (like my house chores) during the work day, but I just had more time to do them after work. Sadly I don't think we would have had a 3rd child if we knew we'd never have a single telework day again. We had to back out of purchasing a puppy too, which my kids cried about for months. They still haven't recovered from that, but what would I do with a puppy while I'm at work all day? It's... not a great life right now. [/quote]
