I am hoping to seek some of your thoughts and opinions on the subject of work/life balance please. I’m not intending to be divisive, and certainly appreciate options like this may not be available to everyone, I’d just love to hear from other mums experiences and learn from advice.
I am currently on MAT leave but ordinarily work work full time and pay off a sizeable mortgage. What I am considering is whether if I move to a more affordable area I could possibly work part time and enjoy more time at home with the children (2&5months). I’m just wondering whether I should carry on working to stay where we are (I.e nice area, good location, schools, etc) or move and be at home with the children a little more before they start at school.
Has anyone else made this change? When do children need you to be at home most? Is it better to work hard now to be more present when they are teens? Sorry for the ramble I just have a lot to think about and it’s causing me quite a lot of anxiety as to whether I am choosing the best lifestyle for the sake of my children.
