Hi all,
I earn a decent wage, and commission. Even with a childminder 4 days a week and nursery fees also 4 days a week for DS2 it is still well worth me working. I pay half the bills and mortgage, and for all my boys clothes, activities, parties, Christmas, run my own car, and pay for all my own things as well, plus all the family holidays.
But work is so stressful I am starting to wonder if I really need this in my life. I am in IT sales, but it's not the selling bit that is the issue, I do that well, it's the account management/delivery crap I get bogged down into.
It's not always like this, but I can't see it changing for the foreseeable. I want to work, but does it really have to be this stressful? It's affecting my sleep, I work each evening, and weekends, and my "day off" and can't switch off from it.
Anyone else in a similar situation? When do you decide it's better to be less well off than deal with this on a daily basis?
