    Well done for making sacrifices to attend the funeral Emma. We don’t get a second chance to pay our final respects.
    There’s nothing at all wrong with you hiding away from tick or treaters this evening. How you feel is how you feel.

    You are not rubbish @[Deleted User]. These behaviours are about business partner - not about you.  Can you see any pattern to the behaviours?  Is it when you're talking to her about additional work for example?  Or maybe when you're talking about something you've achieved?  It might help to do a bit of analysis about what's going on to depersonalise the situation.  I found the following sites helpful.

  • Partnerships are supposed to enhance resilience and mutual support. Maybe you need to consider an alternative way of working

  • I don’t know if this is possible, but having read your diary perhaps it is time to branch out on your own business wise. Another possibility is getting a position at a school full time or part-time.  There is a teacher shortage. You will benefit from a guaranteed income all year around plus holidays to look after yourself. Plus of course membership of a very decent pension scheme.
    I originally ‘retired’ at 59 but worked for  a further 5 years at my former school on a number of part time temporary contracts which I enjoyed. To be honest I could still be there now such is the need!
    Perhaps have a think and consider all possibilities. This present partnership seems rather toxic at the moment.



  • I have never been in a school where someone is constantly filmed. Not all schools are the same. An interesting working week. Thank you for sharing.
    Hopefully your recent talk with your partner may lead to change or improvements in the working atmosphere.

    By the sounds of it the lasagne went to where it was most appreciated. Take heart from the enjoyment that your sister's partner has had from it. 
  • That's great news
