Started ft work 8 weeks ago. Father works afh a lot & is currently abroad. 2 of my 3 sons don't get along. Older son has a short temper & is very sensitive. Younger one goads him to distraction.
This evening I came home from work at 5:30 to find out that younger had threatened older with a kitchen knife and a hammer; for eating one of 'his' chicken steaks.
I've decided that I have to ask work to allow me to leave at 3 so I can be at home when younger one comes home from school. Things have been bad between the boys for a while, but definitely worse since I started ft.
Am I right to try to cut my hours or possibly give up work, as I don't want to risk a horrible incident. I worked pt (3 or 4 hours pd) for 2 years so was always home for them before.
