Hi my issue is about work and home conflict.i want get some outsider perspective on this.
My husband is a stay at home dad and works from home,and I work in retail 30 hours a week and I requires me to do occasional weekends to cover managers holidays etc (I'm a supervisor) I have been in the job 2 years.
We have a 5 year old daughter and my husband has a 7 year old son from a previous relationship who we have every other weekend.
My husband has a issue with me working on the weekends his step son is over as in his words he doesn't want to look after two of them on his own, as I mentioned before I only work the occasional weekend maybe 1-2 every couple of months depending on holidays at work.
I try to not work those weekends if I can help it but sometimes I just can't and every time I do we have a massive argument he doesn't understand why I just can't say no.i explain to him I am the only one who works there that can cover the store when the manager is away.
Anyway he now wants me to tell my manager that I can't work the 2 Saturdays we have two children,
I understand my husband wants us all there on those weekends but I also think he's being a bit silly saying he doesn't want to look after two children on his own.
Also I don't know where I will stand at work if I do go through with it and ask my manager if this would be a possibility.
Thoughts on this please
