i have worked 15 days in a row...no break..no day off...15...thats what like two weeks straight....i have two days off ...tommrow and the next day...i thought possibly i deserve them....but my mother in law just called me (i work at the same job as my mother in law...and they have her call me so i say yes, its against their culture to go against elders, especially ones your related to) she asked me to work on friday..which means i get one day off....and i probably would be called into tommrow....my bf keeps pushing me to work for the great check...but i really dont want to work...and i told my mother in law i worked 15 days straight and i wont work...and she said (in her own words of course) but you have two days off...i wanted to say...you work seven days and get two days off...i dont think im asking to much....but the one thing that comforts me is i already talked to the head boss....she is my bfs aunt (yes they are all freaking related somehow) and i worked with her two days ago and i told her i have two days off and i wont say yes if they call me in....and she agreed that she wouldnt say yes if it was her either....but as i got off the phone i kinda feel guilty....i feel like im being lazy....i feel really guilty...i guess this comes from being near my mom so many years...i worked two jobs and went to school and she still called me lazy....i dont know..what do you guys think??

Feel free to ignore me. But........

You have got to be kidding me 15 days no break? you deserve that time off. How on earth could you consider yourself lazy when you work days like that? Give yourelf a break and be kind to you. It not only sounds like you need it. But it's also you right to have it and enjoy it guilt free.

Just my opinion for what it's worth (not much I assure you)

thank you (((((Doonney))))
your opinion and words are worth their weight in gold i assure you...i guess i just need to hear that...i need to have someone to tell me its ok
and im not even worried about me needing a break im more worried about my residents...i feel that i should take a break because i dont want them to suffer for me working myself to death and becoming short tempered...they deserve so much better (isnt funny the reasons i can come up with just to have the day off....roflmao)

I agree totally with Doonney. I also think your bf and his relatives are not treating you well at all. You deserve better, Inny.

Hugs,
