I've been in this job for 7 months. I love it, it's a wonderful job and I am so lucky to be in it. I'm being kept on by short contracts which I'm hoping will become permenant soon but there's no guarantee.
The problem is. I'm working 37 hours a week. Alternate days to my partner. We have a 2 year old and a dog. My house has gone to shit, it's constantly messy and disgusting and awful to come home to. But I'm so knackered when I get home I just can't face up to it. I'm working myself into the ground, i'm getting ill. But I don't know if I should bring this up to my boss. Ask him to reduce my hours? But will it put me out of stead for the future?
I was stupid to take this job. I thought I could cope with these hours but I just can't. I feel I'm missing out on my son growing up. I'm trying to live too much for my son on the weekends to make it up to him and I never feel completely relaxed. I feel like I'm missing out on life and completely exhausting myself. Any tips welcome PLEASE!
