I currently do part time supply teaching, as I had enough of the exhaustion and pressure that came with a full time teaching job. I gave in my notice as I had no chance to have a work life balance. As a mum to a 2 and 4 year old and due a third in January, I do also get the flip side and would want my partner to spend time with me and our children too. Have a conversation with him. He is likely very aware of how much the job demands from him, but unsure how to get that balance.
That’s exactly the same as me, I’m now a stay at home mum to be able to give our little one more time. I have but he’s like “I know, but I need to do x y and z”
I guess if he is providing for the family then he has to do whatever it takes to make ends meet.
As a former school teacher I know it can get too much. It is very difficult to manage workload and make time for the family too. Its one of the reasons i handed in my resignation once my LO was born. Have you had a conversation with him about how little time he's spending with the family?
