My DP works fulltime, but the money I'm making is helping us get some savings behind us and get ahead with bills etc. I work 30 hours week on a casual pay, so the money is awesome. The work though is total utter crap, its very mentally exhausting. I'm basically a telemarketer. If I werent pregnant, I wouldnt be there. I've thought of other things I could do while being pregnant, but it took me long enough to find this job I'm not confident I'll find something before bubs is born lol. And I cant get assistance from centrelink for looking for work because my DP earns right on the cut off haha.
The thing that gets me through the long hard days, and what will have to get me through the next 5 weeks (I was going to work until 36weeks, but the place closes for 3 weeks over xmas, so I will finish at 33weeks), is I'm doing it for my baby. This money is for my babies future. Every time I feel sad and down about work, I think of bubs and struggle on. Just think, you only have 3 weeks until your done! You have heaps to organise with moving, so you have something to keep you occupied and "count down to". I find all sorts of things to count down to, lol. Like on thursday is my midwife appointment, friday night I see Harry Potter haha. Then thats suddenly another week down.
I guess just try and keep reminding yourself of WHY your doing it. For your little one. It's hard though. If you did find it unbearable and do leave, perhaps you could get assistance from centrelink?
I'm sorry, I've not really been much help. I'm struggling with the same thing myself (not the sam situation obviously, but I do feel you!), so really dont have much more to offer.
