I mean, sure, many of us would like to play in Happy Fangirl Land all the time. But the grown-ups know that is RL, bills have to be paid and work needs to be done.

You don't owe anyone anything. You are providing people with free entertainment with a wonderful story but sometimes, RL in a pain in the ass and has to be dealt with first.

You take care of you. You do what you need to do. That is what is important. People need to put on their big girl panties and deal with it.
