Over the last year I have lost 3 immediate family members and work commitments have been overwhelming due to covid on top of the home schooling and elderly relative responsibilities that a lot of other people have.
Everyone has had so much to deal with over the last year, I thought most people would understand that everyone has challenges.
A few days ago a family member told me that I was overreacting and that I'm not allowed to complain about anything because I earn so much more than another member of our family.
I am lucky to work in an industry where I can earn more for the skills I trained in, but I also spend evenings and weekends studying and felt the constant conflict of sending my kids to nursery while I worked long hours to get ahead.
I am now at the stage where I finally earn enough to payoff the large amount of debt accrued from nursery fees but still regret the sacrifice of spending time working instead of with family and my health is also paying the price.
Aibu to not know how to respond to the people who resent me for earning a high salary?
