I am in a really tough situation.
Dp works from home but earns very little profit. I currently work 4 days a week. We basically live off my earnings.
Recently dp has become unwell and he cannot look after our dc by himself.
There are no holiday clubs for the Xmas holidays and no family or friends that can help with childcare. Even when holiday clubs resume I will still have inset days and illnesses which mean days off.
Basically I need to be home with my dc whenever they're off school. Understandably my employer is not ok with this.
I have my resignation letter in front of me now and I just don't know how we will survive financially once I leave this job.
Does anyone have any advice or are in a similar situation?
I feel like I will never be able to work again unless I can set up something from home. Or the dc are old enough to look after themselves.
