Back story: I was a bartender for close to a decade. The year my kid started kindergarten was the same year my mom was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer.
I was still working the first few months thru both of these things and trying to be everything for everyone.

The night that my mother scheduled her surgery and subsequent chemo treatments, I had a breakdown after working on the alphabet with the tiny tyrant.
I was exhausted. I felt like I wasn’t doing enough for my kid or my mom.

Daniel took me to the bedroom, looked me dead in the face and asked me if I felt like I could handle this on my own.
He told me I didn’t have to worry about bills or money if I didn’t want to. That he would help.

He said that if I wanted to quit my job and take care of my family, he would pick up the slack. But he said he thought I was killing myself trying to do it all.
And I was.
That’s just the reality.
We had moved my mom out of her apartment and into our house so I could be there thru all her surgeries and treatments.
I didn’t have to work all night, take my kid to school, nap, work with her for an hour and then leave for work again.

I made the best possible choice I could for my little family.
And I don’t regret a second of it.
Bonus: here’s a pic of me working one night when my momma came in to see me. This was right after she was diagnosed.

I adore being a housewife and a homemaker for my husband and child.
Sure I wanna go back to work one day, I have dreams, but right now I’m exactly where I’m needed and valued. And that’s where I’m happiest.

(None of the tiny tyrant tho, I piss off way too many leftists for that to be smart)
