So returning to work in 2022 after mat leave. I need to work 25 hours a week to fit our budget, I'd love to do 21 hours but it makes a difference by several hundred pounds a month which I can't afford.
My options are do 5 hours per days for 5 days a week - 9.30am-2.30pm to enable school runs for my older daughter
Or 3 full days of 9-5pm (7 working hours as we get a 1 hour lunch break) plus a 4 hour day on a separate day to make the total 25. DD would be in after school club on those 3 days but thats ok and affordable etc. I could still do school drop offs before work.
My thoughts are do 3 full days + 4 hours as this will be easier in the school holidays to manage.
My DH thinks 5 hours per day spread over 5 days per week
So those experienced and juggling 2 (or more!) Kids and working around school etc what would be best??
YABU - 5 DAYS PER WEEK FOR 5 HOURS
YANBU - 3 FULL DAYS PLUS 4 HOURS
Thank you
