Hello,
I’ve recently had to go back in to work as my youngest is now in full time Education. However I have struggled to find a job that is part time, term time and in school hours, so I have had to compromise and find a term time job at a school 20 mins each side of the school day. This then results in my children having to go to breakfast club for 15 mins in the morning and after school club for half hour.
My partner is totally against all of this, even though we do need the extra money with three children and his increasing debt as well as me wanting financial independence. He just keep telling me how im completely wrong for doing this and im going to cause so many issues for us. Such as not constantly speaking to him through the day, being home later than him, putting the kids in school earlier and later. He refuses to help with school runs and says he wont prioritise his days off with us.
Am I wrong for getting this job or is he being unsupportive?

He's a dick.

Do not give up your job.

Don't give up your job under any circumstances. He's being an absolute dick, as Humdrum said.

What is he doing to deal with his debt?

Don’t give up your job.

You are very lucky to have found that job
He’s a Dick, make plans to leave

My first reaction is why are you staying with someone like this? He’s controlling, unsupportive and why are you dealing with his debt? Do you want your kids to grow up thinking this is how people treat each other?
Please don’t give up your job and try to save some money for yourself each month for an escape plan. He doesn’t like you working as it gives him less control over you.
Could you become a specialist TA at your school with extra training to increase your earnings?

Wow. You have three children with this guy, and are not married to him plus he has debts? You're in a very vulnerable position. Keep the job.
