Keeping Employment Status To Myself … for now

One of my no boundary relatives (who always tries to demand immediate or next day meetups) asked to come over ... at the  end of the week (because they assume I'm working for my employer) lol!!!

I'm thinking to myself "wow sufficient advance notice for once in their lives" but I realize that when people think you create your own schedule (ex self employed), you are not working for employer, you're stay at home parent, etc they assume they can bombard your time. 
 

NOPE! Not today people. I'm keeping this to myself so that I can enjoy my time off while getting in the mind space for my next steps WITHOUT anyone making demands on my time bc they assume I have nothing to do or no employer to be beholden to

This is so true. I was out of work for an injury. Everyone tried to give me errands to do "since I was home" or dropped off kids to watch (usually sick) "since I was home", it was crazy. I was busier then when I went to work.
