I start a new job on Monday, full time. I was a teacher for 13 years, part time in the last few years (3 days). The job had worn me down and I needed to change, so I handed my notice in and found something new. It is office based, advisory role. It is an hour commute, and 35 hours a week. I will be 9-5pm mostly, with some travel away for training and some late working which is rotated.
Dh works from home as a consultant for a small company. His job involves some travelling, but it isn't regular. Some months there will be none, and then others once a week.
I haven't even started yet and he has started to get cranky about my new job and how it will affect him. He's been asked to go to London next week, but I am already booked to go on a training thing, so he can't because of childcare. He is angry as he feels he is being looked upon negatively at work for having to turn it down. He's been working there two years and says he never would have accepted the job if I'd been full time in my new job.
Is it really unreasonable of me to have accepted a job I really want, be a use it will mean he can't always take last minute jobs away and because it might ha e an impact on his work, instead of it just being my job to sort out childcare?
This is a genuine AIBU, I am cross with him, but wonder whether I was daft to accept this job.
