The acquisition of a 25-square-meter flat has provided Gong with a sense of liberation, as she now spends two days a week at the property, enjoying solitude.

    “Finance company owner purchases second home to get away from family”

    There is the updated title. Not just a mother, a mother that owns their own company and wants to get away from family obligations. Do what you have to do to find peace, but this title does not express what is actually happening.

      Mother seems more relevant when getting away from the family is what the article is all about. It’s quite neutral headline as they should be instead of loaded ones like the one you seem to be suggesting with the underlying anti-rich/-capitalist spin.

          Journalism should strive to be unbiased.

              They can’t, they’re flawed just like the rest of us. But they should strive to be unbiased.

      Well the best move would be to stop having kids, as we live in an economic and ecological disaster.

        Well the best move would be to prevent ecological and economic disaster 50 years ago when we knew it was gonna happen and why.

          No, that’s in the past and no one can change that.

            Oh, we meant a current course of action by the affected and powerless, yeah, give up all dreams and rights and watch it burn I guess

              I suggested a current course of action for the affected, which provides them immediate and lasting power over their futures.

              We are currently already watching it burn, and kids only speed that along.

              Possessing property is not a right, unfortunately.

              You are powerless insomuch as you position yourself to be overpowered by the world and the country you live in. Staying powerful comes from staying flexible.

    Why can’t she just pay a live in nanny to deal with her kids. Like all the other rich bitches do when they can’t be bothered to relate to their kids.

    My mom didn’t take a day off for 25 fucking years. When I became an adult and realized how much work to just be an adult with no responsibilities… I have no idea how she did three kids as a single mom. Between work, cooking, cleaning, making us do our homework and everything else. I really wonder if she ever got a full night of sleep.

    And this rich bitch buys an entire extra flat. Fuck this.
