Mother works a lot, reasons?
My mother is a teacher and works way too much voluntarily.
For example, she takes on numerous tasks at school, which, however, are not paid extra.
This costs her about 5-7 hours of extra work per week.
In addition, she spends a lot of time preparing for and following up on lessons (she does more than necessary or normal), which also adds up to about 10-12 hours per week.
The usual work of teachers such as correcting, preparing lessons, etc. is not included.
This means that she gets up at 5:30 every day to go to school, then voluntarily stays at school until 8:00 p.m. even though she works part-time, and then works at home until about 2-3 a.m.
I can't explain why she does that.
She works beyond her limits for a part-time teacher, neglects her family and constantly complains that she is overworked.
Then why doesn't she just work a normal amount of time?
Can anyone explain this?
Ps That doesn't mean that I want to tell her how much she has to/should/can work.
But it's obvious that this is too much, isn't it?

Sure it’s too much. Your mother needs professional help.
But she does it!
She could easily work half without any consequences and still have a top-prepared lesson!
She wants to work so much.
Can you explain that?
No, she doesn’t volunteer. Something’s driving her, and that’s got sick trains. She’s overwhelming. The question is why.
She will break down physically and mentally in a foreseeable time. The lack of sleep alone is enough.
You can’t do anything because she doesn’t recognize her problem. Be there for them when they collapse.
Normal isn’t that, and I can’t explain it to myself either.
What can I do now?
Being mentally ill has nothing to do with crazy.
Do you think these times are normal? When she works by 2-3 hours, she sleeps 2-3.5 hours per night, much too little.
No healthy person does.
I see how she’s going in the school community.
And I don’t think she’s crazy either.
Occupation comes from vocation. Maybe she’s planning a career ascent. 2-3 hours more a day are quite normal, but then parttime is still home in the afternoon.
Many people use the profession as escape. Maybe you’re going to get the famiie on the scoop or something.
I’ve always told young people that if it’s bad at home, you can usually stay in the company for 2 hours without any problems. Conversely, this is only very badly possible. And with colleagues you spend 8-10 hours a day, with your partner or family only 3-4. So we should not put the priorities completely wrong 🙂
She refused a higher position.
Yes, this is definitely too much!! Did you ever talk to her why she did that? Then you come too short, too short. That’s a reason, and not just that she loves her job.
She’s just saying she loves her job.
Yeah, she’s pretending. There must be something else.
I really tried, but I can’t get out.
Do you have a guess or a tip?
You have to find out, I don’t know your mom
Like?
Sounds like working (Workaholic). Is unfortunately everything but healthy and just like any other addiction in need of therapy.
Good luck!
I also often take work because you are also supposed to involve yourself extra for the team and the school, it makes more because it obviously takes thought about it. I get that often on holiday or on weekends when I have an idea for teaching to write up, prepare etc.
Okay.
But it’s not normal to work in parttime work from 5:30 to 2:00 every day, is it?
I can’t understand
As a teacher in parttime, 15 hours of pure work are of course much too much.
As far as shopping and working in the household is concerned, it is necessary to find out that these activities fall completely due to lack of time (almost).
Furthermore, due to obvious signs, such as lack of sleep, irritation, dissatisfaction, lustlessness, a revision can be found.
Also the sheer number of hours she works are not to agree with the family what she notices herself.
The situation becomes particularly drastic if one finds out that it works part-time (!).
I also know that teachers have to work a lot (correct and prepare).
However, as already mentioned, these additional activities are clearly too much and permanently lead to a physical and psychological collapse.
Do you know why she voluntarily neglects her family, leisure, friends and her health?
When is she supposed to do the work? She works at school, household, shopping, work at home. Isn’t that you only work in school the times and that was it
Okay.
Three hours.
Now we’re still part-time for 15 hours.
That’s too much beyond all the measurements.
That’s a lot but she doesn’t work through
Yes, but working time is not normal.
From 7 am to 2 pm.
There are 19 hours.
Voluntary.
That’s normal
Get up.
Breakfast.
Go.
What’s she doing at 5.30?
And what could that have for reasons?
Make money.
