Morning all.
I have been a SAHM for the last five years and run my own business at the same time, not made vast amounts of cash but enough to keep me in small luxuries. My clients have recently gone bust so the pipeline of work is looking a bit thin. cash is very tight at the moment.
A couple of months ago I saw a job advertised, part time, half a regular post.
I applied and was offered it, it's bit our of my comfort zone but I think I can cope (just!)
This will mean that my 5 yr old DS will have to be picked up and dropped off at school by neighbours and grandad, there is also a breakfast/ after school club as an option. The hours of the job mean he'll have to be dropped off two times a week and picked up three times.
My Ds has just gone into yr1 and is crying at drop off, says the work is too hard, he's young for the year and wants to be with me basically. His reading and writing is non existent and he gets frustrated about it and refuses to try.
My DH says that I should I should get the job to change my hours so that I can always either pick up or drop off so as to minimise impact on DS, but this might mean I lose the job offer.
Thoughts please, I'm really wondering if I should just forget it.
