Bit of background..... myself age 40 and partner (dp) 38 rent a house 575 a month. we share with ds age 3. TTC at present without much luck. Time is not on my side. Dp is being made redundant end of the year so is busy looking for employment. I work 28 hours p/t evenings & weekends around his day shifts. To his credit he has spread the net far and looked into different fields..... sending c.vs out every evening. He had a interview for a position at a company were his uncle works and he put a good word in for him. Had the interview last fri and he been offered the job today. It's nothing he has done before (office based) he has worked in factorys/warehouses all his life. He s excited for the change. However this is were i may be being unreasonable. He starts on £8:00 a hour. He is currently paid over £12 per hour. I'm am frantic with worry. Having worked out his rota I am now unable to work evenings as i will need to be around in the afternoon to pick up ds from nursery which dp currently can do. So I will prob have to REDUCE my hours and only work weekends. Which means we will be like passing ships in the night. As it is I feel we don't have enough quality time as family let alone couple time. Also I am beyond worried we won't actually earn enough to pay bills for the month. I understand he wants to find something new and fresh after 20 odd years in the same type of role but i feel this is not the right time. I suppose we may be entitled to some tax credits. But even still it's terrible drop in money. For the record I despise my job but it's convenient and pays for the occasional week in a caravan in the holidays. All that will stop now in my opinion. We have majorly argued all weekend and can find no resolution. I just can not accept his decision. AIBU?
