This probably isn't the right place to post but its where I find myself reading most of the time.
I'm really struggling at the minute to hold things together. Me and my husband are both working full time (lucky I know considering everything).
The thing is, I was never meant to be full time. I always told my employer I needed part time hours as I have a 8yo dd to look after. I was asked if I could a few more hours months back as something big was happening at work. I said yes, no problem, thinking this would last until things calmed down, but it has just continued, I got on with it. I was then asked if I would consider night shift for a few weeks as we were so busy it was hard to get a lot done during the day, I again agreed.
The thing is now my daughter has been sent home to isolate twice within the last month. She was only back to school 10 days and we have been told she has to self isolate again for another 2 weeks. I understand its no ones fault but this means another 2 weeks of me barely sleeping through the day and working all night.
Just to add, my employers are not the most understanding people, I could basically lose my job at the drop of a hat if I start needing time off every couple of weeks.
I dont even think I'm asking anything and thank you if you've made it this far, I just feel like I'm sinking rapidly and I no longer see a light at the end of a tunnel .
