my dad worked his ass off at a job he did not enjoy, doing back breaking work. always amazed that he was able to do that as long as he did.
yeah, especially because we were single income. my mom homeschooled my brother and i. i think he took only a handful of sick days his entire time working, had something like days saved up when he retired.
when you have responsibilities that you really care about, you do what you have to. i commend him. its hard raising a family,
