I've applied for a job that means I would be starting work early in the morning (7.00am) so if I was offered the job i would be unable to do the school run at the start of the day.
I currently work approximately 20 hours a week and do the majority of the childcare/school runs, cleaning, food shopping, meal preparation and general household stuff.
Husband does work really hard, mostly 5 1/2 days a week and I’ve always made sure my work schedule has fitted around his.
I would have liked to be able to take the job if I was offered it and for husband to alter his shift slightly (which is possible)
I came out of the interview really positive but now have to factor in childcare costs if offered the job as DH has said the children will have to attend wrap around care in the morning instead of altering his schedule, which means we’ll be paying out for childcare for our 2 children.
I feel pretty fed up that as usual I’m the one that has to fit in with everyone else, DH does earn a lot more then me but it would have been nice if to hear that if I was offered the job that we could have juggled things around rather then a flat out no to altering his work time. I guess I’m wondering if I ABU to feel so gutted about his attitude given he does work more hours and alit more money.
