So I posted about this yesterday and I feel I wasn't fully understood, I'll try to be clearer today 😊. I live in Europe and laws, definitely when it comes down to employment, are a lot different than in the USA, where most glow users seem to be from.

Anyways so I am quitting my old job and starting a new one. Due to my years of service I owe my old employer 12 weeks of working for them. This summer they told me they could possibly do 4 weeks but that wasn't official yet. I work in logistics and since it's now the end of the year, they have reduced my required work of 12 weeks to 8 weeks iso 4 weeks. I can start at earliest on January 2nd in my new job. My new job would like me to start December 1st.

My partner had this glorious idea to start my new job December 1st and continue my old job until January 1st. I would be working 2 jobs.. I am ok working both, though it scares me because I'll be very tired and I have a lot to learn on my new job. But we do need the money.

However my partner wants me to work my original job and then ask for a special arrangement on my new job for the first month because he didn't want to be responsible for our child all day after an early night shift (my old job is a part-time night shift, I work 20-00 and he works 20-04, our child on average sleeps until 10am)

He agreed on taking care of our child during the day when I would be starting my new job in December. but if I work both jobs he suddenly feels it's inhumane to expect of him that he also takes care of our child during the day?

Also if I have to go into the office he's not willing to take some days off so that someone is home with our kid. basically everything falls on my shoulders in every one of those situations.

I am almost feeling like I'll be glad our kid will be going to school so that I don't have to rely on my partner anymore for childcare... It's like playing a game where the rules constantly change.

That's exactly how I feel about this!
