Hi there. I haven't posted for a long time but am in a dilemma and wondered whether anyone could help me. I have two children and the younger one starts school in September. Pre-children I had a job in the media. It was difficult and stressful job and I think I really lost confidence in my abilities. Anyway I had some time at home with the children, which I loved but also felt I had not 'proved' myself in the world of work and really wanted to achieve something. I had always been interested in law and so did the GDL part-time and am now about to start the LPC part-time. I have just been offered a training contract by a well regarded local firm near to where I live for when I finish my LPC (we have moved out of London). The only trouble is they expect me to work full-time while I train and the reality of working five days a week terrifies me. I have interviews lined up at a couple of London firms and I know at least one of these offers 4 days a week during training contract, however if I commute to London I won't be able to take the children to school and I won't be home in time for tea/homework (with the local firm I should be home by 5.30-6pm). Has anyone done anything similar?
