I am an NQT currently teaching in Year 4. I was in the very fortunate position of being able to do salaried school direct training at the school I have worked in for the past 7 years (the one I am currently in). This was beneficial for 2 reasons. The first is that my kids also go to my school and the second is that I was paid to train.
When I began my training, DH was very supportive. He works full time as a driver, but is self employed so can be flexible with his hours. He started to get a bit resentful of my training towards the end, but was pretty supportive all the way through.
It was a consciously made joint decision to go ahead with the training and my NQT year. We discussed the benefits and drawbacks and decided that the good outweighed the bad.
I've been teaching for 5 weeks now and I'm doing really well. Positive observations from SLT and my NQT mentor, good feedback from my training providers who are keeping an eye on my progress.
I'm working millions of hours, as I knew I would have to. All discussed with DH. Unfortunately, the house is looking awful and DH is beginning to get resentful about the amount of work I have to do in my 'free time' as it means I'm not available to do things that need doing indoors.
I feel resentful because it feels like everything is left to me.
When I try to broach the subject with him, it inevitably ends up in an argument.
Will it be like this forever now I'm teaching or is it because it's my NQT year and therefore very intense?
