To be feeling a little upset

Bit if backstory: On/after my maternity leave I have applied for 4 days at my work instead of 5 as my son attends a music class one day a week that he loves. I have been refused every time so my DH had been taking him to the class, at first during a 'working from home' day but then he got made redundant early last year and so has still been taking DS while I have been at work. Money has been very tight as we have been basically living off savings for the past year as I earn a pittance. I have had loads of stress at work and have a very love/hate relationship with it.

Forward to now: DH has been starting to get some interviews and it looks like he may get a job very soon which is great news!
However if my work won't let me have 4 days (I'm applying by doubt they will) then I will have to leave work to look after DS and take him to his music. DS is in a lovely Nursary but I don't want him to be there full time as he loves his music so much.

AIBU to be upset at the prospect of leaving work? I should be and am happy for DH but.... Sad
