First time posting, so please forgive me if it's all over the shot.
I really hate my job, I feel totally stuck and it's making me ill. I work in a childcare setting with another lady, it's her business so I am the employee.
I've been there just over 3 years and I'm at the point where I can't sleep the night before work due to the dreaded thought of it. I really just want to hand my notice in and leave, but there's only me and her and I know she cannot physically do the job by herself- there's too many children for one person. Plus I do the school runs while she stays home with the younger ones.
I dislike everything about it bar the children. She often "drops hints" about us working with children together till we are OAP age and saying things like "she would lose half her business if I left" because of the ratio of children one person is allowed. I feel trapped into staying somewhere I hate. My youngest son starts secondary school this September and that should mean no more school runs, but in this job I'll be going to the same primary school for god knows how many more years.
Sorry for the long moan and rant, I think I just need to get some backbone and hand in my notice.
