Now I was like Wow I got the job, and I was like well happy, but afterwards I did some thinking whether I should actually take the job or stay as I am, as the hours are 10 - 8 woking Sat & Sun as well, with only Wed being my day off, I have a partner with a son who will be a year old on 6th Oct, now I live with my Nan, and my partner lives with her Parents, If I take this job I am not going to be ble to see my partner or my son, as she lives quite far from me, so I have to travel to see her nearly every day, I mean I would love to take this job, but if I do then I will only get to see my partner only once a week, miss out on my son's first birthday!
Please I need help on what to do on this urgent matter, I start the new job at Tesco on Tues!!!

Oh I know how you feel....I know someone who had the same feelings. I think you should take the job. Well done on quick results by the way.
If you were in a job that included a lot of traveling you would still miss baby's birhday. It happens to a lot of people . If you take the job, long hours and all, and stay for some time, then you can change to another one with better hours. I really think you should take it. Partner will understand that you have to work. It is impossible to find a job that is perfect in every way. You will have a regular good wage and that will help with your little family,Bless. Not every dad can spend unlimited time with family because they have to be elsewhere while earning. You will get used to it and no doubt it will be hard for a while but you can do it. Everything will work out. Good luck for Tuesday.

In your question you stated that you had called the original interviewer and thanked her for the interview. Did you send a formal thank you letter in the mail to her? If not, they may feel you didn't handle the interview process professionally enough. A formal thank you for the interview letter should be mailed to whomever you interviewed within 24 hours. If you did the proper thing and sent the letter, then I wouldn't hesitate to call again. The main manager may be very busy and not have had a chance to schedule all of the interviews yet. When you call, ask if an interview can be set up at that time. Another thing to consider is that the budget for hiring additional people has not been approved yet and that can take some time. It happens all the time where I work. We go through the whole interview process and then can't make a formal job offer to the candidate until corporate has approved it for our budget. And that sometimes takes many weeks! Good Luck.

You were excited about the job to begin with but then you were thinking about what you would not have and then became confused.
As working parents we all miss something, many kids have celebrated their birthday on a different day because of work schedules. Since you both appear to be living with family, it appears that the most responsible thing would be to take the job.
Celebrate your son's birthday on Monday, and remember to compromise, overcome and adapt.
Good Luck

Take up the job. Adjust the meeting with your partner and can celebrate your child birthday earlier. All can be done.
Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth. Proverbs 10:4
Think about your future, you and your family can enjoy happy life and your son can get better education.

You must do what ever to support your family. Will this job give you more money so you and your partner can get a place together?. Your child's 1st b-day is cool, but honestly he will be fine w/out you for that party. i am sure he will be busy with everyone. Their attention spans aren't really there.
Take the job if you will be able to support your family.

Hmmm! Many of us frequently seem to be tempted by and go after the "carrot!" and forget to ask ourselves what is important to us or try to discover what is important to us.
I don't have any answer for you but it has always seemed like to me to be a compromise to do so.
I know about the realities of life all too well. However, for myself, I cannot ignore the part of me that hears a different voice.
Best wishes, have fun but be safe!

Why can you not all live together. Can you not change living arrangements, if not straight away maybe in the near future. Why can't your partner not come and see you with your son and stay weekends perhaps.

Take the job. Adjust with your partner on the other stuff.

I'm guessing you're not working right now so take the damn job and stop sponging off the rest of us.
You email me saying you are not working due to ill health but say above that you are working.
You are a liar and a sponger and the fact is, you just don't like the hours compared with your current occupation of zero hours per week!
