I work part time on a shift rota. This worked around DH's full time job which he has just lost. (He was a manager for 15 years and set his own rota around mine).
We have 4dc's under 7yrs. 2 in school and 2 babies.
His old job was quite unique and competetive and we are not going to find another in the same position where he could set his own hours.
We could both change jobs but childcare costs could be a huge issue.
Advice from CAB says that if I continue to do my job which is currently 20hrs per week, (could be increased in future if someone leaves) then DH could be SAHD and we would get our housing and council tax paid.
This does seem like a good idea especially when we consider how much money that adds up to.
