[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did OP explain how they are moving but she had to quit her job because of 100 hours of volunteering? Hence her boss told her to quit? Where is she moving if she can still keep her job if not for the 100 hours requirement? This is very confusing to me.[/quote]

She works from home, so the move doesn't matter.

OP, I'm in a similar position, being a military spouse and having worked remotely for over 10 years, through 5 different moves.  I did go down to part-time, which helped tremendously.   Are you sure your boss wouldn't let you stay on as a part-timer?  Perhaps you could get someone to do drop-offs, and then you can still cover the European shift and go down to half-time.  There may be other opportunities on a contract basis, either with this employer or a different one.  Or perhaps existing clients might have work for you.

My kids are in catholic school with a volunteer requirement, and it really isn't that bad.  There are usually things that need to be done that can be done outside regular school hours.  Laminating, copying, cutting out things, fundraising, bundling those stupid box tops - the list is literally endless.

I know moving sucks, and having your kid start school is a big change.  I'm sorry you had such a difficult childhood. I do think it will be better than you are anticipating, though.  Big hugs.

And DCUM can be a rough place to bring complaints like this.  I hope you can weed out the noise, and pick out the helpful posts.   It will be okay.  [/quote]

THere have been tons of concrete suggestions, she just counters every one of them.[/quote]
