I am currently on mat leave and things are bad with dp we are considering splitting. I need to decide next week if I am going back to work full or part time. I'd assumed if I were single I'd have to be full time, but a lot of single mums seem to work part time and I wondered how you make it work financially? I dread working full time and barely seeing dd, then not seeing her when she is with dp as well. I am a teacher and barely coped with full time pre dc, although of course the holidays will be a godsend once dd in school. I also figure full time will safeguard my pension. Just scared I won't cope and dd will suffer. I'd appreciate any of your thoughts and experiences.
