I currently work in a highly stressful environment, working long shifts covering 24 hrs. My husband also works shifts. Our family life is lacking routine and stability. We have three children, two at primary school and one at nursery three days a week. I have supportive parents nearby (I think, I've yet to discuss this move with them!).
Work has recently become even more stressful due to deteriation of relationship with my manager. I currently work 22 hrs a week.
A job has become available working from home full time. The job states it is flexible but involves running a helpline for people using a product. It's a bit of a wage drop but would probably equate out to be similar to my current earnings with the up lift in in hours, although I'd have to look into taking out a private pension.
What are people's thoughts? It feels in our family as though something has to give. This job won't be a great love as my current job is but I'd hope the stress would be much reduced.
