I started a new job this academic year. 3 days a week. I have a 1 year old. Despite me asking since I was offered it, I wasn't told which days I was teaching until last week and term starts in a couple of weeks. Given the short notice it's not surprising that I can't find childcare for one of the days so my mum is going to have to travel to stay with me the day before as a temporary measure. I've been told the timetable can't change. The timetable for next semester is completely different so I'll have to rearrange everything with nursery then again. No one seems to recognise that this is a problem. I specifically wanted a part time job but it's actually made everything more complicated.
I'm sorry this is long and rambling. Part of me just wants to quit the job although I know that would be really stupid.
