I always try explaining how busy I am to people but inadvertently get judged in the process. It’s usually when people invite me to go somewhere and I say I can’t and then have to explain why. People love judging instead of understanding. It’s either I am crap at organising my time, or I need to learn how to MAKE time or why do I want to earn so much money anyway?
Firstly, I am not crap at organising my time. If you had what I had on my plate, there is no free time. I just prioritise and do the best I can and any free time I steal out of there goes straight to my kids. I’m sorry I have to be selfish with my time but because I have so little, my kids get top priority. As for money? I want both my kids to be able to have a good education in a good University and as you know, that costs a lot of money. What about old age? What about medical expenses? What about emergencies? All it takes is for me to have something like Cancer and BOOM! I know, my Mom has Cancer…….
I’m not one of those rich kids who gets hand outs nor did I marry an entrepreneur with lots of cash, so yeah, I have to work really hard in order to have a decent life. Plus, I need some security money too! You never know with men!
So I’m really sorry if I cannot spare you my time. Sometimes I can, sometimes I can’t. Just think of the hawker lady who worked from 4am every morning preparing the food for sales for the day. She worked right up to night, then slept. All she did was work so she could afford her children an education abroad. Do you think she even had a chance to attend a birthday party? I don’t think so. Some of us have to work so just quit bugging me!
