Working Student Expresses Frustration Towards Inconsiderate Mom
A young working student expressed her frustrations towards his inconsiderate mom, a lot of netizens react.
Recently, Small_Ad_3555, a Reddit user, shared his frustrations about his struggles balancing work, school, and family responsibilities. The post garnered various reactions from the online community.
The student, who works the graveyard shift from 12 AM to 8 AM, barely gets any rest before attending his classes from 3 PM to 8:30 PM. Just as he tries to catch some sleep after his shift, his mother wakes him up to watch over their small store.
Despite having several siblings, he feels the burden falls solely on him. He supports himself financially to stay in school while his other siblings, who have lighter schedules, seem to avoid sharing the responsibilities.
One of his brothers completed his degree but remains unemployed, showing no interest in helping out, while the others prioritize leisure and relationships over family duties.
The student expressed his frustration about the unfairness of the situation. His mother invested a lot in his older brother’s education, only to see him idle at home, while he, who strives to juggle work and studies, receives little support.
The uploader also feels hurt that his mother doesn’t recognize his efforts and dismisses his exhaustion, claiming she’s just as tired.
In an update, the latter mentioned that he had tried talking to his mother, but she didn’t seem to understand his struggles. Despite feeling unheard, he remains determined to save money and plans to move out by October to gain independence.

“Tangina talaga ng nanay ko
Nag tratrabaho ako from 12AM – 8AM pag out ko tulog agad kasi may pasok pa ako sa school ng 3PM-8:30PM. Yung feeling na antok na antok kana, nasa verge ka na ng pagtulog pero ginising ka dahil need mo bantayan ang potanginang tindahan na yan.
Ang dami mong anak, madami kami! PERO BAKIT AKO??? Nag seself-support na nga lang ako kahit hirap na hirap na ako, para makapag aral lang lasi ayaw ko mag stop. Pagod ako ma, hindi mo nakikita?
Ang unfair mo ma! Si kuya nakapagaral ng maayos kasi ginawa mo lahat pero ano binalik niya sayo? AYUN TAMBAY KAHIT MAY DEGREE NAMAN. ayaw humanap ng trabaho kasi gusto yung madali lang. Ang unfair lang hindi naka try na maging working student yan tapos ako na nag susumikap, hilig mo hithitan ng pera. Tangina niyo talaga!
Mga kapatid ko? Ayun lakwatsa ng lakwatsa imbes yun sana ang mag babantay ng tindahan kasi halfday lang ang mga pasok. Yung isa naman, ayun nasa jowa palagi, parang ang daming pera.
Ewan ko, tangina niyo talaga. Pagod na ako sainyo.
Edit: Nabasa ko po lahat ng comment niyo. Nag usap na kami ng nanay ko diyan pero di maka intindi, nag crack out na ako one time pero sirado utak niya. Ano ginawa niya? sinabi niya din na pagod siya parehas lang daw kami. Hindi ko masasabing parehas kami kasi hindi naman ako ganyan sakanila.
Sinusubukan ko po mag ipon, 6 months pa lang kasi ako sa work at very accessible yung bahay namin sa work at school. Pero nag promise na ako na by october bubukod na ako talaga.
Salamat sa pakikinig, hindi ko alam ganito pala ka-satisfying magpalabas ng nararamdaman dito. Hindi po sa akin ang acc na ito, sa gf ko po hahaha sa gf ko lang kasi ako comfortable mag voice out at ngayon sainyo na din. Maraming salamat!”
