Please come and give me your opinion on this - it might be contraversial

I am a regular but have namechanged. Sockpuppeted, if you like.

Dp and I have 2 kids, adn he works full time, on shiftwork. Neither child is at school yet.

Now, I have just found a part time job, but it is entry level, minimum wage(although I am qulified!), searingly hard work and the boss is a bit of a bully if she thinks she can get away with it.

To add to this, dp can't seem to treat the fact that I have to go to work too with any respect, he pops up with "Well we have a staff meeting tomorrow, so I'm going to be late home". It not occurring to him that I need him home on time so I can get to work on time.

If this was a job I liked, I would be really bothered, but it isn't. I would rather be doing a supermarket shelfstacking Jill-Job for minimum wage than the job I am doing now, which is stressful and dirty.

My question is this. ould it be very wrong to hand in my notice, citing family difficulties? Because although my partner is a pain about his shifts, he's not that much of a pain, but I have two young kids, the house looks like a bomb has hit it, nd Ireally don't need this hassle!

Um. That's the contraversial bit - my inconsistancy. If it was a job I really liked, I would find a childminder for the bits that are being left. If it ws a full time job I really liked, I would see if he wanted to go part time - he probably would!

And I suppose I could do all that for this job too, but it's lot of changes to implicate for an unsteady job I hate.

I also put the contraversial bit in to get people to look

Got my attention for other reasons. If it's a dull job agree to give in notice with your husband and then give the notice period you have to or perhaps stay in it and try to find something more fun.

Why don't you tell them you can't pay the childcare with what they are paying you, so you simply can't afford to stay. Then they can give you a raise or you can say good-bye. I personally would never use domestic responsibilities as a reason to resign because if my next job calls for reference and asks why I left they could say something like "she couldn't cope with work and home responsibilities" and that's not very flattering. So, make up some reason you won't mind being repeated later...like you are worth more than minimum wage peanuts.
