Hey,
I am 21 and have a two month old baby and I have to think about going back to work. I used to work night shift 20.00-08.00 sat and sunday and i had arranged my mum to babysit for these nights.
I had a meeting with my work today, and they said bacause the overnight have limited staff on, they have reassigned my shifts to someone else, so i have to request new hours completely.
My problem is my DP (as always), he works in a nightclub in management, he works 12.00-16.00 amd then 19.00-03.00 sometimes later. There is no pattern to when he works/doesnt work so cannot rely on him for looking after LO.
I only get paid £6 an hour and childminders are £3+ and my DP gets £5.30 an hour but he does not contribute to the baby, just gives his half of rent.
I just need help really! I have no ideas how i am supposed to make up enough hours to be able to afford everything, especially as at the moment i live at my mums so do not have to worry about bills and she said i can give her rent as and when i can afford it (i pay for my own food, etc).
Should i leave this job and find another? Or just work full time (40hours) and put the baby into someone elses care? I really dont want to do this i love my baby and caring for him than my job ( i hate the way they treat me)
Any advice gratefully received. x
