I currently work at the same pub/restaurant that I started working at at 18, I'm now 24 and have a 4 1/2 year old son.. Before I fell pregnant I worked full time and even had a part time job on the side, I didn't find out I was pregnant until I was four months gone and in the time before that my part time job didn't work out as I was throwing up at work and having to be sent home a lot, once I did find out I was pregnant and I told my full time job they slowly cut my hours down claiming it was for my wellbeing, later I then found out because my boss had cut my hours from 40+ down to 10 a week I wasn't able to get maternity pay from them which left me no choice as a single mum to go to the job centre. Once I was ready to go back to work a little under a year later I was only doing 16hours a week, there is now rumours going around my work that me and my partner of nearly 3 years are trying for a baby but this isn't true yet my boss has already cut my hours back down to 10, and only allows me to work evening because he's knows majority of the time I can't get child care because my partner works away a lot and my dad has recently been diagnosed with a form of bone cancer and is not up to having a hyper 4 year old running around at home.. I want to get a new job and hopefully work whilst my son is as school but I'm worried about when he's on half terms and inset days, I doubt any job is flexible about you not being in for weeks at a time and I don't want to cart my son off to a playground in the summer holidays. I know I'm not making it easy for myself but I just don't know what to do I feel so lost and don't know who to ask for advice. Help please!
