After 3 weeks of working here in house 12-14 hours a day, or more. Ive decided Ive had enough. I quit !!!! I cant get anything done. I have a list of 34 things.. I do 3-4 a day. But I add 4-5 more to the darn this. So how do I win? I dont. So starting today, I quit. Ok, so since my dad is sending me a few dollars to pay someone. To help me here. Ive decided to switch this week with my son. I will go back to the cafe work, and he and a friend will do the house packing and stuff. I appreciate all my dad does for me. You are the best dad, Love ya.....

Dads are the Superman of our life. They were always around for a rescue to us. They never gets tired of being there for us 24/7. Their loves is very priceless. Indeed , we are so lucky having them . No one can ever take their place in us. Forever they will lived in our hearts , mind and whole being.

Hi mariaperalta, Good for you. If you feel that it's really bad for you then make a decision quick and don't regret it. Move on and don't think about it and you'll feel so much better. Of course having a best dad helps. Have a wonderful day.

Well, I hope you don't mean you're quitting here. But I understand the frustration. I know how it is to have a list of things to do and something always comes up and gets added. All I can say is just do the best you can. Look, you have a good son and brother that are there to help. And your father is a good man. I still believe that you will accomplish everything needed to be done.

"I told you so..." Didn't I tell you that you will need to delegate, get help or reduce the task into parts? It is a fact and unfortunately that you cannot have the entire cake and eat it all by yourself. You don't even have the stomach for it and half way down, you will find that the rest of the cake is already spoiled. You sure like to learn your lesson the hard way by literally falling down. Anyway, I'm glad that you are able to pick yourself up again and hope that you will be able to do whatever that is you wanted them done.

I`m glad your father sent you some money to be able to get some help. Sometimes we just cannot do everything by ourselves. I have had partial help since I was diagnosed with the lymphoma. I don`t have the energy to do a lot of things and I like my house clean. So I try to work in what I can do.

hello there my dear, it looks like your main title post fits on me, as i have said that to myself today, "i have enough". although i didn't quit but a foolish guy did it for me. hence, he threw hurting and foul words that really hurt and bring pain to me. so i have decided to finally quit and do the necessary. you are so lucky that you still have your dad, as for me here, he abandoned us many years ago.

Give or be the best as you could if that is worth to be live with. But don't be shy to retreat or hands up, rather then keep moving but slowly for sure it would kill you or drawned you up. You must calculated your time and energy to you have given with the results.

So caring dad, I give him a ! It is not easy to do packing. You have a wise idea of switching with your son and a friend to work on it.

Parents are the best friends we could have. I think working 12-14 hours a day is extremley tired. You're working too much. How is the coffee work you want to go back? Luckily your dad can support you. Good luck.
