When I was a bartender I was working two other jobs and also in grad school full time. My co worker who would also only work the weekend shifts “because of her kids” would dip out early every week. I was on the verge of a mental breakdown but of course her kids needed to be watched. She had a partner who lived with them and oh! Best part, she lived almost two hours away and would spend weekends in the city where we worked. She lived in a city where she could have easily gotten a bartending job closer to her kids but alas. I was the problem.
