I have a feeling you are going to say IABU :(
I started a new job 3 months ago after being made redundant whilst on maternity leave. I work full time. My 21-month old son was at nursery 4 days a week and with my husband 1 day a week, however my husband’s job now requires him to be at work 5 days a week so my son will be going to nursery full time starting this week.
I had Friday off with my son and it was glorious! We had such a lovely day. He’s at such a fun age. It reminded me of how lovely having the summer off with your child is.
I really want to ask my work if I can work 4 days a week but my husband and best friend says it’s too soon in to a new role to ask. But the company I work for is run by 2 women so they understand about childcare issues – they already let me finish early so I can get home for bedtime – and other women work part time here because they have children. They also employ contractors who work purely from home and come in once a month or so.
But then again I’m nervous to ask because they have employed me on a full-time basis to do the job and I am new.
What would you do? Has anyone been in a similar situation?
