Should I drop a shift at work? Stretching myself too far.

[MonstranceClock]

I’m a single mum with another baby on the way. I’m studying a full time degree and work 3 days a week, 7-7. Saturday is my only day off but still have to be up early as my daughter has a dance class in the morning. I’m knackered Ansbach I have no time for anything. I haven’t done any reading with my daughter for weeks. I know it’s just a short term problem really, as I only have 2 years left on my degree.
I’m considering dropping one of my shifts down to leave me a day in the week when she is at school to have a day to myself and get housework and uni work done so I don’t have to spend the evenings doing it. But this will leave us a bit more skint than I would like.
Probably just on here for a moan but I’m not sure what the best scenario would be. What would you do in my position? Aibu to be a bit selfish and take the pay cut, or should I keep plugging on as it’s only for a bit longer. Feeling exhausted and miserable.

Just check u are getting correct benefits. I know my uncle got some sore of bereavement benefits when his wife died leaving behind 3 young children

Echoing PPs, please check to see if you're entitled to Bereavement Support Allowance.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

If you’re 27 weeks dropping a shift now shouldn’t affect your maternity pay as it’s calculated from weeks 17-25.
I think you should drop a shift if you can. It sounds exhausting.
Sorry to hear about your husband.

I might drop the shift as I get bigger. I just like having spare money.
