I’ve Worked for Decades—I Won’t Postpone My Retirement for My Daughter

After decades of hard work and raising her daughter alone, a 65-year-old woman finally reached retirement—her time to rest and live for herself.

But her daughter asked her to postpone it to become a full-time, unpaid caregiver for her grandchildren. When she refused, she was called selfish. The accusation hurt deeply, especially after years of sacrifice without help from anyone. She loves her family but longs for peace, freedom, and rest after a lifetime of giving. Now, she’s choosing herself—not out of selfishness, but self-preservation. Her story asks a vital question: Is it wrong to finally put yourself first?
