My husband and I work for the same company. He is full time. I am part time. There is an opening for a full time for me. But the hours are different. My husband works 24 hours (6am-6am) then is off for 48 hours. My hours if I took the full time would be 8am-6pm Monday-Friday.. The 6pm is not a strict time for getting off. If needed I might have to stay over.. I have been working this schedule part time, out of the last two weeks that I have been working the latest I’ve gotten off is 7:30pm. Out of the 10ish shifts, I only have gotten off on time at 6pm maybe 3 times.. Most of them is 6:30pm.

My question is should I take the oppertunity and become full time or pass it up and let someone else have it and go back to part time as needed. (I usually get 10-50 hours as needed just depends on when people take off.. Every day there are 6 people that might take off that I could fill in for)

My husband is against me taking the full time position. He says he’d never see me. He also thinks I’d never see the kids. Even though I would be home every night and off every Saturday and Sunday. (of course the way his schedule is we’d only have every 3rd weekend that he’d be off both saturday and sunday with me.)

The kids stay with my mom when we are both at work, or if he is to tired to take care of them when he comes in after working one of his 24 hour shifts. (some nights he is able to get some sleep and isn’t up all night)

If I took this full time position Mon-Fri. 8am-6pm I would hopefully get switched to my husband’s schedule of 24 on 48off when a position opens. This would be weeks.. or years.. there is no telling.

We really need the extra money that this full time job could secure. We need a house, and to pay off 30k in debt.

If this job was the 24 on 48 off there wouldn’t be any question I would take it in a heart beat and my husband would be happy with it also. There is very slim chance that if I said no that I could still get that schedule.. but usually whom ever is working the “day truck” 8am-6pm schedule gets first pick for any 24hr opening.

I am so confused.. My son is almost 3 years old and my daughter will be one in April. I had a full time job when my son was born.. and I didn’t realize how much I missed out on him growing up till I had my daughter and was home with her alot… BUT we really need a house (we are in a 2 bedroom apartment, and buying a house right now could be done.. but we could barely make our house payment.. credit card bills wouldn’t really go down.. Taking this job would add almost an extra 2000 dollars in a month, thats a $700 house payment, the rest would be put to our credit cards)

What would you guys do.. I am so torn between having time with my family & having the extra income..

If the kids were older I’d do it because the max I could think I would be stuck with these hours are 5years untill I could be on the same shift as my husband… If my kids were older 5 years wouldn’t be anything.. but right now 5 years are the vital span of growing for my children..

I hope I gave enough info… um.. My husband and I will be married 5 years in April.. My Husband is in his 30’s already.. I am 22. His retirement account only has like 5k in it. I have none in mine.. We have none is savings. (Like I said we live paycheck to paycheck)

Thanks for the help!

I am 14 years old(will be 15 in november) and my mother is letting me get a summer job for the summer. I have one older sister is getting a summer job too. I have two younger siblings. We get an average income each year($83,000)….So we aren’t poor or anything. The problem is because is the economic crisis right now. My parents are juggling paying for our extra curricular activities, physical needs,and plus they are a little bit in debt right now.

The reason my mother is letting me have a summer job is because she told me she can’t afford my back to school clothes. So I will have to work for my clothes this summer,and so will my older sister.

The problem is that because of the situation they are in right now is making is it extremely hard for them to support my needs. For instance,I have to wait two weeks to get a thing of shampoo or some deodorant.

So the thing is is that I think I should get a part-time job for when school starts back up but ONLY ON THE WEEKENDS. I would make maybe $250 a month which would help TREMENDOUSLY with my needs. I would still have enough time to study,because I would only be working maybe 5-7 hours on Saturday and Sunday and I would still get to study at night like I would on the weekdays.

I get good grades…I usually maintain a B average. So there isn’t a problem with that. But my mom says no to letting me get a job when school starts back up….And I can’t understand why. The reason she is even making me get a job for the summer so I can pay for my back to school clothes screams that she can’t really pay for some of my needs right now.

So how do I convince her to let me get a job for when school starts back up??

P.S. I already have a job at an ice cream shop and I start on Monday. And sorry this was long haha

Thanks and God bless
