Expected to be at work 8-5:30ish. Plus more work to be done at home (at least 8 hours a week I would estimate). One and a half hour commute each way. So out of the house from 6:30 until 7pm. Could be a bit less depending on traffic.
Husband already does a long commute. Generally leaves at 6am gets back around 5:15 (works 7-4).
3 children - 11 year old, 12 year old, 18 year old. (OK - oldest not strictly speaking a child but has ASD and is at school for at least another year. Needs a lot of support).
I just don't WANT to do it. I think it will just about kill me. Not to mention it won't be any good for the children.
Husband thinks I should do it. Because I need a job. Because we need the money.
Further probably important information. I already do a similar job "free lance" and closer to home. Pay will be the same - only difference is there are "quiet" weeks as freelance (maybe 6 or so a year) that I will be working for in this job (and thus paid for). And I can take days off as a freelance if the children have appointments/illnesses/school events, which I can't otherwise. Possibly worth mentioning that I really don't like doing this job as freelance. I want a proper job in a stable environment. Just not sure I want to travel so far to do it.
Also. I feel shit.
