I have two young children and have recently moved about an hour and a half away from previous address (to be nearer family). Planning on going back to work part time after mat leave. However have done the sums and I will not be earning enough to cover travel and childcare costs (let alone having any money left to contribute to household costs). I enjoy my job but looking at the finances coupled with being such a long distance from my children for a couple of days a week I am not sure it's viable/worth it. Job opportunities where I have moved to are very limited so I have to think carefully about this decision as I am aware in about 2 years childcare costs will be lower so I will start earning again.
