To think these hours are doable

[nosleepisevident]

I work sundays. Used to work Saturdays but oh works Monday-Friday so never had a day off together. I now work 6.5 hours on a Sunday and am so skint all the time. I can't afford nursery for 2 dc so have been looking at night work which would suit well. I've been offered work Friday sat Sunday as well as Sunday job. Does this sound doable or too much. I don't want to accept then not be able to do it.

Friday-10pm- 2.00am
Saturday 10pm-2.00am
Sunday- 9.45- 4.15/ 10pm-2am

Has anybody done similar hours before?

Its doable but you will be tired on the Sunday and you still wont have a lot of time as a family.

Just a question though is this with the same company as you have to have 11 hours between your shifts if in the uk

I think you'll struggle working Saturday night and Sunday morning and presumably you'll need to catch up on sleep Saturday morning which doesn't give you much family time. My husband used to do similar hours on the weekend. He lasted 3_ months before he was too tired to carry on.
Where is your relaxing time if you work all weekend and care for your children all week? Could you cope on just a few hours sleep? Would it be possible to just work the Friday night?

I think this will be too much. If your dh is home at reasonable time can you try and get evening job in the week.

You can’t legally finish at 0200 hours and start at 0945 am with the same employer.

However I used to work 1800-000 four nights a week and be up for the day with the DC by 6 am so it’s doable, just not very sociable.

You realise you need to sleep right? So you'll be sleeping in saturday or having a nap in the afternoon so goodbye family time. Then how can you work in the day Sunday when you've worked Saturday night? And ditto working Sunday night when you've worked Sunday day.

Plus depending on the job you need to think about how effective you'll be and what mistakes you'll make. Because you will be less effective and you will make mistakes because you are human and humans are not designed to be fully functional when massively sleep deprived.

I think the Saturday night and then Sunday daytime will be exhausting and too much. If the two nights pay better than the Sunday job I’d go with that and quit the Sunday job tbh. If it works out pretty equal then stick to the Sunday one as the hours are easier on family life.

Not for same employer. I forgot to add it'd only be for around 6 months until my youngest is eligible for nursery funding then I can pick up hours at my Sunday job who are reasonable.
Unfortunately couldn't do similar hours during the week as oh works full time but shift work so sometimes gets home 5pm sometimes 9pm.
I know it sounds silly hours but we're barely making enough for bare minimum shops and no treats for the kids

Sometimes needs must 🤷‍♀️I think its do-able, and if you can arrange for Mondays/Fridays to be as relaxed as possible then I think you'll be fine.
Will your dp/dh pick up the slack on Sundays? You dont want to be out all day and then home cleaning/tidying before heading back out for the night job.

At least this way you'll have all day Saturday as family time, and the extra cash!

It’s probably doable for a short period of time.

For six months I think you’d be better working during the day Saturday as well as Sunday rather than nights. I think not having a day off with DP is easier to cope with than not having sleep and spending your time off together knackered.

It s doable but slightly horrible and dont be surprised if it messes up your sleeping pattern so you cant get to sleep when you need to.
I did 2 to 3 part time jobs for a few years and it was hard.
If you re struggling and on a low income have you checked entitled to the benefits calculator to see if you can claim anything? Child /working tax credits etc or a UC top up?
