Went back to work full time 18 months ago when dd was 12 months. I loved my job so although it was hard it wasn't too horrendous.
Anyway, with redundancy looming I found a new (safer) job which I've been doing for 3 weeks now. I hate it and feel anxious, stressed and tearful. I'm a teacher by the way!!
Anyway, I'll have to stick it full time until next summer but would love to drop a couple of days if I can. We can't really afford it and would be totally skint but I'd love to be able to take dd to preschool and have a day off with her.
Am I mad to contempltate this? It would mean no holidays or nice wine - but surely we could get over this.
Has anyone taken a big pay cut and thought it was for the best? Dropping 2 days would mean about £900 a month less for our family - and that's quite a significant amount.
