Analyzing Sources of Pressure in Daily Life
Read the scenario below and answer the question that follows.
Alex is a 35-year-old accountant who recently became a parent. In addition to a demanding work schedule, Alex is now responsible for late-night feedings, changing diapers, and managing the household chores, as their partner works an opposite shift. Furthermore, Alex's aging father, who lives nearby, has become increasingly reliant on Alex for transportation to medical appointments and help with grocery shopping. Alex reports feeling constantly exhausted, irritable, and as though there is never enough time in the day.
Based on the scenario, identify two distinct duties or obligations related to Alex's family life that are contributing to these feelings and explain how they function as sources of pressure.
