Well instead of walking out as a first option if it doesn't improve - what about moving back to weekends only?

You'd be surprised how much *is* an option when it's a choice of part of something, or the whole of nothing.

At which point - if you're right about his reaction - you'll be in no different a situation off than walking away of your own volition.
If you're wrong about how he'll react...
Either way - just another option for you to consider."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

Well I saw his reaction the other day:eek: will give it another couple of weeks and reassess. Money, money, money. It's not too bad as I have hopes and dreams that I'll get something better after uni but I think it would be awful if that was my full time job.Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Yeah. Sounds like he gets his own way with his reactions. Probably been that way since the first rattle described a parabolic arc from his pram and mumsy went scurrying after it.skint_spice wrote: »will give it another couple of weeks and reassess. Money, money, money.

You will get something better after Uni. You're too bright for that sort of thing.
It was always a stop gap. Just make sure the stop gap doesn't knock holes in your confidence.
