What's a tactful way to ask for less hours at work?

Asked by awomanscorned (11261points) December 30th, 2010 from iPhone

I need to ask for less hours because I can’t do 38 hours a week, school, and be a mommy. Especially when we agreed 30 hours would be the most I’d work. My regular manager will be gone for 8 weeks so the assistant manager is filling in and he’s really easy going and thoughtful, so I’m thankful for that, but I don’t want to seem like I’m taking advantage of him by asking right when my manager left. The timing is just unfortunate because I’m giving him my class schedule for next semester. How do I go about this?
