Soooo, I've worked PT since DC1(nearly 7) was born & after birth of DC2 (soon to be 4), I trained PT (paid role) in a different professional role (within same profession).
Now work 3 days a wk and until other week DC2 was at nursery (DC1 has been at school/doing Sch wrap around care).
In Sept DC2 starts at pre-school at same school as DC1, doing 2.5 days a wk. My working days mean I'm off Mon & Fri so have childminder arranged for all day Tues/Wed am and using after school/ breakfast club on wed pm/Thurs and on Fri I'll do drop off/pick up (meaning have few hrs to do admin/batch cook/catch up w washing & family admin).
Have woken to find DH awake saying
He's being "taken for a chump" and "when does he get a day off?"
claiming I've got it cushy come Sept and this has been decided w/o him...
I'm really upset by this as am pretty certain it won't feel like much time to myself/will whizz by. Also on the 2x afternoons I do school pick up DC1 (& as gets older DC2 will) has activities which I wouldn't get them to if was working.
Am hoping it allow me to do stuff to make w/e's less washing focused. Also a bit of time to do some work related admin which I often end up doing on Fri's too (he does pick up every few weeks but this is generally my role/leave work to ensure I can do it).
He seems to think I should've changed my working days so that I was off on Tues despite this meaning upheaval at work (teams are balanced on what days are worked) and I feel more stress for DC2 in particular.
Who is BU?
