Opinion needed about job

in Success after IF

I just started a part time job working 10-3 and I totally HATE the hours - I thought it was going to be 8-1.  Also the job is nothing like I anticipated.  I quit my previous job 6 months ago and I hated working Saturdays but the trade-off was during the week I worked 4PM-8PM which meant I got to spend all day w/ the boys and I loved it.

Should I keep the job and keep looking for something with better fitting hours and hopefully something I would enjoy more or quit b/c we can get by on one salary and keep looking. 

I am sick over this whole thing (as in not eating/binge eating/anxiety attacks/crying/can't sleep).

I realize I am fortunate that I don't have to work F/T but at the same time I don't want to be in a job that makes me feel like this.

Thanks for reading : )

    I'd say if you're not strapped for cash, quit! It's not worth it to hate your job especially if you can get by comfortably without it. If you're going to work, it might as well be something you enjoy.

    Thanks for your input.  Let's just say DH does not handle a crying wife very well.

    Honestly, those hours sound horrible with kids. If you hate what you are doing and you don't need the money - quit. It is not worth the stress.

    Why did you think the hours would be 8-1? If you were lead to believe that by the company then I'd just tell them you want those hours. Say "Hey, I know I'm scheduled to work from 10-3. During the hiring process I was told the hours were 8-1. The new h
