So not to sound spoilt, I am very lucky to be able to have been at home with my daughter who is now 2. But I have been very unhappy since leaving my job at the end of maternity leave.
Basically during maternity leave my husband got made redundant, and when he got a new job in London (had to commute). We decided to take the opportunity and move across the country to South East to be closer to my parents.
Fast forward a year, I didn't go back to my job (it was in Reading no way to stay) and I've been full of regret and unable to find a new job in what I do (project manager) here that is flexible.
Recently I've given up looking for the big jobs and now hunting out the smaller part time jobs. These are fine but the salaries are about a 1/4 of what I used to earn, and are well below experience wise. But that said I want a balance with family life, and want to work. So to ask everyone has anyone else do something similar? After a few years once kids at school did any one go back to their careers?
I never thought I was a career person but turns out I liked having my own income and working! Rant over...
