Basically I work part time in a local restaurant. The hours suit my DS as its in the evening when DH is home. I'm not happy there though. I've been offered a job in a really nice local pub that I would like to take.
The main reason is that in dec/jan my boss is due to have a baby and has asked me to work every day for 8 weeks. I expressed that I would not want to do it and she basically said if you can't I''ll have to replace you with someone who can. It still hasn't all been properly discussed but I think she thinks I'm doing it. She is not going to hire anyone to cover herself, which really annoys me as I can never book a friday and saturday off as we're "too busy" yet for 8 weeks I'm expected to work in these conditions? I would say we don't have enough staff as it is so one down will be a nightmare.
I don't mind working every weekend, but would like to be able to book one off once in a while to visit friends (who are generally teachers or in the 9-5)
It would seem that over the last few weeks shes been getting me ready for her not being there, which makes me feel guilty as she does have a lot of trust in me, but I think 3 months would be enough time to get someone up to speed.
I know she will be really annoyed, but for these and many other reasons I'm really unhappy there, and I think me working constantly for 2 months will put a lot of strain on my family, as DH isn't too keen on it either and we'll both be knackered. I just think lives too short to be unhappy.
Aarrrghhh what a stupidly long post about something with a stupidly simple answer but basically do you think I'm being selfish in quitting the job when I think she's depending on me a lot? Thanks
