Ok so work are offering me more hours - I currently only do a few over the week but love what I do and would relish that bit more money! Have been a SAHM since ds started school in 2007. Started this job at Christmas. DH emergency service worker so shifts are not 9 - 5. AIBU to let my ds (9, 10 in Sept) walk the five minutes from school - home and let himself in, maybe once, twice a week for an hour or so? He'd be alone, no other dc.
He's sensible and I trust him to go straight home, lock himself in and not answer door etc. Just typing this is making me feel sick at the thought, actually! I don't HAVE to do the extra hours, I'd just like to and want MN jury verdict.
Mum is around a lot but has lots of holidays, plus I don't want her to feel tied down, she would, and does, help me so much anyway. I have people who are around - we all help one another with respective dc, it's just there will be times when I have nobody to ask. I'm waffling 'cos I'm in such a quandry over it! I have a feeling there will be some mixed opinion!
