I work PT - 30 hours a week with 3 normal days followed by leaving early enough for the school run on a Thursday and make the hours up on Friday at home (normally 2-3 hours). DH works FT and does the school drop off once a week at normal time and all 4 drop offs to breakfast club. I pick up from after school club 3 times a week and at normal times twice a week. All works well for DCs in Yr 1 and Yr 3.
I have been at the company for a few years and to be honest it is an admin role which could either be dead end or lead to something more career based. I want a career rather than a job. For various reasons I don't believe I would be able to do this so easily working the current hours.
Just as a background, I was not in this industry before children so I don't have the proven history that many of my friends have who manage careers working part time.
I don't know. Maybe I am over thinking this. I know my boss would welcome me working full time and I know it would better my career. I suppose I fear I will lose my work-life balance?
