For the Independent women - Depending on others?

So I am sure all of us have been working full time one time or another, and we all know how hard it can be when you are suddenly out of work - being made redundant or perhaps starting a family etc.

How do you feel about having to rely on others - for example having started a new job, my boss was meant to pay me. Failing to do so this week, she told me it should be in my account next week, I was extremely over-drawn at which point my mother swooped in and gave me money, I felt awful as a consequence. As this money was meant to go for house things - i do normally contribute when I am working and it gives me a feeling of independance.

Has anyone else felt like this before? or is it just me. I remember a friend of mine who got married and her husband doesn’t allow her to work, she has ask him for 5 pounds sometimes just to go to the local shop, this was a girl who is outgoing and independant, and she said she felt very ashamed in doing this.

I can understand your feelings as i have been in the same situation since few years. It is depressing for me to ask for money from my parents. but i feel bad because of other reasons, like my father is retired and now working as a visiting faculty so he doesn’t have fixed amount of income now and he is only earner in our house. Another reason is that i am only looser in my house, my elder sisters were independent women before marriage and they were earning good amount of money. but still when i was working i occasionally ask for money from my father like for Eid clothes and all. But if my father had permanent job or he was a rich man then i wouldn’t feel ashamed to ask for money from him either i was working or not.
