I've name changed for this as I think it's very identifiable.
I work in the public sector, in a 'part' time job that has me out of the house all day, 5 days a week. There is no room for any further flexible working - I've asked to reduce hours and been refused.
Long story short - I hate it. It's boring, it pays an absolute pittance for what I have to give to it and there is no leeway in return. It costs me to go to work due to the amount our childcare costs. I went back partly to help my Mum (she is my boss and was desperate for somebody) and partly because reading too much mumsnet made me worried about not having "financial independence."
We're now worse off financially, I'm miserable and feel that I'm stuck because if/when I do quit my Mum will be extremely angry with me, and this will cause a rift. I don't want that. I am an only child and have absolutely no other family, in laws are local and ok but we're not particularly close. I'm devastated at the thought that there will be, at best tension for a long while and, at worst, a full on fall out.
So AIBU to quit my job? I will, of course, give the appropriate notice.
