is It wrong of me too say I don’t like my partner doing long hours ? I don’t know what to do I can’t take it .

Me and my partner have 2 kids aged 3 and aged 1 and it is very very hard with them as my 3 year old is non verbal so everything is so difficult and both of there tantrums are terrible !

He has been away for the past week out of our city so he has too stay away for work for 2 more weeks apart from the weekends which I said too him I will stick through as it isn’t that long until he’s working back down in our city again . However we will be moving home really soon 3 hours away so it’s a bit far and he is wanting too stay at the job for the money as the money is really good but will be leaving at 4am if so and coming back home for about 8:30 or 9pm so during the weekdays he wouldn’t really be seeing me or our kids at all apart from the weekends as when he gets home he says he will have too eat and then go to sleep basically which I’m so upset about as he knows it’s so so hard with the kids I haven’t been coping at all this week as it is with them I’m really losing it 😪

are you working too? Do his long hours and job fund your ability to stay at home? Does he NEED to travel for the job or is he avoiding being at home?

Why are you moving so far away and making the situation so much worse?

I’m only moving that far as I have a dog and my eldest daughter is being assessed for autism and needs her own outdoor space so needed a garden and also to be closer to my dad as don’t have family where I am . There’s just so much benefits too us moving there and a lot better than where I am now the situation I am in there’s loads .
