Work issues

[Kayzr]

I am due back on the 24th august. I can only work mon-wed at 12 hours a week which is my contract hours. The only childcare we have is mil who will only have the boys Monday and Wednesday. DH has got Tuesday off. This is what I worked before I went on Mat leave with ds2. But from what my manager says it doesn't look like he'll agree. So I am stuck.

I have no one else to use for childcare and we can't afford for me to stop working. Plus deep down I think I want to go back for those 12 hours. Some adult company would be nice and a lot of my friends work there.

As that is what I worked before do they have to let me do it again?

Thanks

I think see what he offers and note what he says
try to make a case about how the days you want will work
and if he says no come back and we can help with next steps?

I'm just going to wait and see what my manager says. Then take it from there.

There is no way we can afford a childminder.

Thank you!! I might ring my driving instructor and see what else he has free so if I have to change it I know what I can do with regards to work.

what about taking your kids with you on your driving lesson?

That's not possible. I can't have them sat in the back while I am trying to learn. I need to be 100% focused on what my instructor is saying.
