“Last year was the perfect storm. It wasn’t good during any season, especially Christmas,” she said. “Either you hang on by your fingernails or get out while the getting out is good.”
“You are doing great mama. I’m so proud of you. Early days are the time when every mom feels most exhausted, isolated and overwhelmed. All you have to do is hang on by your fingernails and keep climbing the mountain. You’ve got this.”
One male teacher told researchers: “I was feeling totally overwhelmed by the workload and working 60+ hours a week just to hang on by my fingernails. I have actually contemplated suicide (đã dự tính tự tử) as a way out because the situation is making me miserable (khốn khổ). I cannot carry on like this for much longer.”
