I have 2 dds, one 12 and one 8. I have been able to be a SAHM since they were born and work with husband p/t in his own business. After years of volunteering in everything from pre-school upwards, I decided to do a flexible PGCE and qualified as a teacher last December. I was offered a f/t job whilst doing my last placement and decided to try it although younger dd still at lower school. My husband was brilliant and a friend also helped with childcare and it worked but I was made to feel by the school as though any thought of work/life balance was ridiculous and I felt like I never saw my dcs. I asked to go p/t, they said no and after deep thought, I left.
I am hoping for a p/t job for this year until younger dd moves schools but there's nothing out there. Similarly, I can't seem to get any supply and whilst I keep trying to look at it from all angles, I can't come up with a solution. I know in my heart that I did the right thing by leaving but in my head, I wonder if I did. Please cheer me up .
