>Tired>Come home from 14 hour shift completely beat>Family asks, "Lol why you walking like that?">try to explain that I'm just tired from standing and doing physical labor for multiple 14 hour shifts in a row>Sit down and start to tell wife about my day>She cuts me off and says that I'm whiningAlways known that it's true that nobody gives a shit about anyone but themselves, but really feeling it now...
>>33847631Our grandpa's would go sit on the porch in the evenings with a beer and listen to the calm radio together in silence. That's how they shared the burden that you speak of. You can't find empathy where you've been looking.
>>33847642You're 100% right...Fuck.
>>33847631Your wife sounds like a spoiled bitch who has never worked in her life. I doubt she even does a proper job as a housewife, like most modern wives.
>>33847631Jeez, I'm sorry OP, you have a legitimate right to complain. Sorry the people you're around aren't empathetic
>>33847642Cope. My grandparents marched on the factory and striked until they obtained a legally binding eight hour day so their children don't have to suffer this garbage.If you live in some shithole where they preferred coping in their slave quarters instead, it falls on you to fix the issue.As you are probably going to kvetch out on me if I suggest joining or forming a union, at the very least get another job or modify your work contract so it contains a set maximum of hours per shift, or refuse to work beoynd a certain point. Or take the established neoliberal route and get at least a basic education so you don't have to do negro labour anymore.It is not your families duty to make up for you getting exploited like a donkey.
>>33847631'Family'? As in, your wife alongside your children?
>agree to a 14 hour shift>why am I tired and depressedno, it is not the responsibility of your wife to be an emotional dump. no, you don't need the money, no western government is letting people starve (yet) and your kids would rather appreciate the dad being there than going to private school or whatever.
