What more responsibilities do you have?

(For context, I'm 40 and feel old too. My partner died after a short and nasty illness, which was difficult in itself, and I was left to care for our then two years old kid. I only have one responsibility, but it's more than enough...)

Work, living, house chores, social obligations, basically being a functioning and self-sufficient adult member of society.

Ah, I'm sure you could cut half of that if you wanted to.

how do you work? or do you get financial support? i could not hold a job if i had to take care of kids without a partner.

I only started working again recently and work very little. I was earning quite well before, and I'm very thrifty. I guess few are better prepared for disasters than me ;)
