I was always a SAHM, then when I wasn’t I did term time jobs.
I still do that but I’ve just accepted a much better term time only job, but it’s going to involve putting my kids (5/7) into breakfast club 5 days a week because it involves quite a lot more hours (and money!)
They are kicking off and I feel so guilty.
I am a single mum and dad is really not going to help out, so it’s down to me (not getting drawn into making him help more, he doesn’t and that’s that) so there are no options other than going in early.
They really don’t want to and I see endless upsets on the horizon.
I’m stressing over end of term early finishes and the fact I will have to ask to leave early then (unpaid) because there will be no one but me to collect them on early finishes and how that’s going to look to the other staff.
This probably sounds a non issue, and I’m all honesty it is, but having always been there for them I feel a bit mean that finances and impending divorce is pushing me into more hours than ideally I would like, even though financially it’s a big benefit to us.
