    The short answer - your problem.


    are you with a union? They can help.


    A small increase in hours is often seen as reasonable.

    No, I wasn't being funny or having a go. That really is the short answer. Your employer isn't responsible for your childcare.


    Do you have a partner / friend / relative who can drop the kids off?

    What do you want as an outcome?

    Redundancy or a change to the hours of the new posts?

    I want redundancy. Its not alot but would much rather just take it and run as there is more responsibilty in the new role and alot more to learn for the same money!

    Why? Surely if they offer you the job, then you cans till just resign.

    Im talking about your employers perspective though.


    Think you need to take 5 and calm down. Your reasons aren't valid in terms of business. It's you personal life.
