I just lost a client on the Christmas Day.

I'm a social media manager that's why Im required to report everyday. So I asked if I could spend my time with my family. He insisted and said he cannot work with me. Hahaha. I'm sorry but the reason why I entered freelancing is because I have to spend more time with my family especially my 4 months old baby. I felt bad because he cannot understand. Wala atang Christmas hahaha kulang sa aruga. Anyway, advice ko lang never choose work over your family.

Haha, that's too much!

You did the right thing!

Pag may nawala, may darating. Even better. Yaan mo na siya, though disappointing nga but hey it can't compensate the time with your family.

Oh my! Such a client is sad.

True!! Family first...aanhin mu ang malaking kita kung unti2x nmn nawawasak family mu dhl wala kanang yime sa kanila...very wise decision...

Ok lng yan makakahanap ka ulit, importante di mo pinalampas ang pagkakataon with your family in this holiday season, family first.

Okay lang yan mamsh. Family first ❤️

di yan para sayo. ganun lng po kasimple :D

Likewise here - almost 2 years ako kay client hangang matapos ung bahay kong pinatayu! Biglang end da contract kasi absendt noong xmas eve..de bali nalang basta family fist n tapos na ung bahay at least ung kita ko napunta lhat2 sa baha.

Alam mo sis. hindi sa masaya ako dahil nawalan ka ng work pero masaya ako that everything happens for a reason means nyan may mas malaking opportunity waiting for you. I lost client a month before Christmas. But I got a job double the pay from the one I lost. I also have the chance to get an upgrade for my car! I am not saying this para ipagyabang sayo. Ang point ko, naghhintay ang mas malaking offer at better opportunity sayo. Tama ang decision mo na choose your family! Godbless you!

Family is the reason why we work. Good decision !!!

I still work. Kasi while nag party party nag laptop ako. Thankful compared nasa CC pa ako. Tuloy ang hanapbuhay kahit saan basta may Net.

1st choice family/kids 2nd work

Very brave! Not everything you lose is a loss anyway. And yea, family and sanity over work ALWAYS! You can always look for another work but not another family.

You will find a new one. Merry Christmas!

Di kasi sila kasing family-oriented natin. We also have to take into account that cultural differences will always be present, but I think it doesn't necessarily mean that people like your client are bad people. It's just a matter of priorities. Anyway, family will always be the most important to us. Ang clients napapalitan, ang pamilya, forever mo makakaramay. Happy Holidays sa inyo and naway mas marami pang blessings and dumating sa bagong taon!

super agree..

Agree! Family first, it’s also my son’s first Christmas and my clients are all understanding.

You've made the right decision. Your family must be your priority 👍🏻
