My husband and I separated in October and he has been supporting me and my 2 children in the family home (mortgaged) since then. We agreed he would do this until our youngest started school in September to cause as little disruption as possible for the DC.
We've had an argument this week and he is now saying he can't afford to continue and I need to get a job ASAP. My question is do I want a job with more or less than 16 hours a week? Both children are obviously unsettled due to the change, my eldest in particular is very anxious. I'm eager to continue to be around for them as much as possible. DC are 9 and 3.
