7 Everyday Horrors That Only A Working Woman Can Relate To

From getting up early to finish your household chores to reaching on time to the office, everything is pretty much a struggle. The horrors in the life of a working woman are many. From aunties questioning your work choices to people judging your work quality on the basis of your looks, the struggle is endless. And no matter how many times we remind ourselves that we are strong, independent women who make financially sound decisions and love our job, there is always a downside to the hectic life that comes with it. If you're a woman who works a 9-5 job that keeps you on your toes 24x7, you would definitely relate to these horrors!

1. The horror of reaching home and cooking

You're mostly too tired or busy to cook for yourself, so you are used to eating food that you picked up on the way home from work or that you got delivered.

2. Too tired to clean up



Your room begins to look like a battleground from Wednesday onwards, until Sunday, when you finally get time to clean up.

3. Having no time for hobbies

The last time you pursued your hobbies was while you were in college. Even when you join classes for your hobbies, you quit going after a few days because it's very tiring.

4. Looking for a nanny for your kids

5. Travelling to work and back

You'd think your journey is bearable when you're driving yourself to work, but not only is it tiring, but also highly annoying with all the men and their disgustingly stereotypical views about your driving skills.

6. The tale of the midweek hangover
