I'm going back to finish a professional qualification in September which is a placement with an employer. They've been very clear that I'm not allowed to have childcare problems (ulp!, I'm making backup plans for everything, at least I've got warning, but I don't have any family in the area), they've also said that I'm not allowed to knock off early or start late - but the commute is 1h30 each way. This really is the only place that will take me and I can't afford to make a bad impression - and I obviously don't have any rights as they're not an employer.
DS is 5 and has special needs ad I'm supposed to take him to lots of appointments and go to lots of meetings about statementing etc but I've no idea how I'll achieve that through the Autumn term at the moment. DS will probably hate being away from me for 11h a day. I'm somewhat disorganised at the best of times. But we've only got to survive until Christmas. The plan is to only look for p/t local work after that.
Any tips on getting through it?
