I have 2 DC who are 8 and 4, the youngest will go to Reception in September. I have been working 5 days a week, term time only, which means I have never been able to do drop off at school/nursery although I finish work early on 3 days out of 5, so I do pick up on those days.
From September I am dropping to 4 days a week, term time only. This means I will be able to do school drop off once a week and pick up 3 times a week. I am really happy about having a day (well, 6 hrs!) to myself, it will mostly be used to catch up on housework, admin, maybe see friends, go into town and do the odd thing for me. It also means I will be able to be in the playground one day a week at drop off which is a big deal at our school. I will work really long hours 2 days a week.
But now I'm beginning to wonder if it's selfish to have 1 day off a week as obviously it will mean a bit of a drop in salary. DH has a good job but we are not in the position of being able to not worry about money... I don't really know what my AIBU is but I'm feeling a bit guilty!
