Is it bad/overworking if my mom works for 18 hours mondays through fridays & most of the time the weekends too? She pretty much goes to work around 2 AM & comes back home around times 6-9 PM, does some chores for about an hour, then sleeps whats left of her day. I think its very unhealthy but waht can i do but tell her to quit. The thing is she's been at this job for awhile ( I'de say about 10 years) and was promoted supervisor & she's good at it.

Is It Normal?

    He's talking 16 hrs each day. 2 am till 6
    Pm is 16 hrs each day. Thts wayy too much. However much she likes her job, she shud give some time to her family. I guess its normal but definitely not healthy.

    ....you think 16-19 hours a week is a lot?? I work 40 hours every week. It's called having a job. The hours are crappy, yes, but in order to help provide for you she needs that job.
