Ah I hate a case of the gloomies! That sucks man, hopefully they fixed the mold issues once and for all!
I hear you with the parents stuff. My parents are getting up there as well, and I can tell from talking to my dad when I get to. He slowed down on his side hustle work, even though they need and like the money. He couldn't do it anymore, and in a weird way it's also because I wasn't there to help him which he understands and gets, but it just makes you feel a little bad, you know?
I think taking time off of work is important, because if we are working all the time then we will just get burned out which is also not good. As difficult as it is to take it off with deadlines and things piling up, the good thing is that I think it proves to the team and management that we can't be walked all over. We do have obligations you know! Yes it gets quite the juggle with kids :D
