We do self sceduling at work. So by time its my turn to fill out my schedule the only days left are three in a row- so My daughter has this crazy sleep pattern three days in a row. No one understands why I don't want to work three in a row.

Their only opinoin is there are plenty of single moms that do it. I agree- this was all my doing, my having a child, my getting divorce, my working these hours. I have been working there 15 years but really have thought about quitting and looking for something else. but I am stuck there. Where else am I going to find the same amount of pay, the same quality of health insurance. I can't take a cut in pay- I wouldn't be able to afford my bills, my rent, my car. I am already a fincancial mess. What choice do I have?

Ironically the one doing most comlaining about the schedule is the one 21 year old who has been there less than a year who has no children no other committments.
