A few months back I had a pt job offer 25k per rota it was my dream job but it would of ment dh helping me picking up the Children drop off would of been fine

The rows the stink that was kicked up so I declined the offer as not to drip feed it would of ment we would of been really well off tbh

So a week after dh come home and announces good news eveyone my boss is allowing me to work 6-3
Shame I could of got the kids from school never mind
Hmmi have to say we nearly broke up over this he really upset me

Fast forward 3 months ago I have taken a job school hours shit pay

Dd3 gets 15 hours free because she is adopted so I pay for an extra 13 hours a week but the job came just in time for the holidays during the summer I have dd1 and dd2 at the childminders I told dh before I took this job I would earn £0 until my 30 hours free kicked in in September last month my childcare was 600ish I earned 700 this month 500 earned 800ish

We also went on holiday for a week but still had to pay the minder the holiday was booked before I got the job next year we will take our holiday when she takes hers

But he’s outraged we have to pay for that week saying it’s myfault for not giving notice trying to fucking explain this is not how child care works

People in nurseys have to pay for bank holidays for example

He’s going on and on about my low wage and telling me I should resign saying we can never afford to go on holiday and outraged we paid nearly a grand a summers child care i want to say we’re you fucking listening to me when I was tellling you about the coasts you shouldn’t have been such a cunt about the first job and if you actually helped me we would of been in a much better position to afford it and lastly welcome to how much childcare costs dickhead and no I am not leaving my job because in September the 3rd our childcare drops to £0 because we will get 30 hours free

Yes he sounds like a dick I hope you find a job that makes you happier and just a small request please put some punctuation in your sentences because it makes it difficult to read thanks

Don't get so angry Op , people are agreeing with you . Your husband does sound like a dick and it sounds as if he's never going to work with you to ensure that you're all happy .

Why could you not have paid a childminder for the after school pickups?

He's a dick.

But as usual I sat said nothing

His being a dick isn't your fault, but you must take what control you can in the situation. There is always a choice.
