I work for two families! I have a weekday family and a weekend in family. I absolutely adore them both. That being said my weekend family funds my irresponsible spending. But I can survive off of my weekday pay. I have been with both families for about 3 to 4 years. throughout that whole time, I have made the choice to work seven days a week.
I recently got my summer schedule and my weekday family is doing a lot of traveling. For a good portion of the summer, I will be a live in. They have never traveled this much in the time that I have been with . So it was a little unexpected.
My dilemma is that I’m going to have no me time.
I want to ask my weekend family if I can have 13 weekends off this summer (which is basically all summer) and I know that leaves them in a bind. But i am afraid that I’m going to burn out and I do not want that to happen.
The thing is, I am nervous to ask them because I am potentially willing to quit over this. There is a month until I start traveling and I know the sooner I tell them the better it is. and I want to come back in the fall but like realistically I also know if they find a permanent person they might want to keep them.
Another important factor is a few months ago. We readjusted my working hours because I was feeling burned out.. but with this schedule, I fear that it will be worse.
So any help/ any advice, from both parents and Nannie’s 🙏🏽 I would be so appreciative
