I work 3 days a week but I feel as exhausted as I would if I worked 5 days. I have 3 kids 2 in school (primary) and my a nearly 2 year old. I basically work Monday, get Tuesdays and Wednesdays off and back in work Thursday and Friday. I hate this schedule but cannot be changed.
AIBU that this is a crap working week and I’m bound to feel I can’t switch off? Other mums in workplace who are part time get a better working schedule e.g. 2 of them work Monday-Wed and another gets Mondays and Fridays off so lovely long weekend.
I’m feeling I’m wrecking my time off with my baby as I’m sat here now stressing about things that happened today and how my line manager pissed me off by snapping at me about nothing in particular. As I won’t be back in work till Thursday I’m going to be thinking about this incident and it will wreck my time off with my little one tomorrow and Wednesday. My personality is that little things fester but once I see manager again she’ll be okay and I’ll stop being worried about what she said but that won’t be until Thursday! She always seems to be in a mood on Mondays! I keep checking my email to see if she’s sent any nasty responses about today. I know there won’t be but it’s such a toxic place I always worry.
