My DS has just turned 3 and I have been looking for a part time role in my field since my return from mat leave 2.5 years ago. I haven't enjoyed my job from the start even prior to having my son, long hours, bully of a boss and lack of career progression but convenient location in nearest town (40 minute commute max). I have submitted two flexible working requests to reduce my hours which have been ignored and am desperate to leave. Problem is I live in a very rural area and there are very limited opportunities locally. I have several roles that are part time and would be a good move career wise but they would mean a longer commute to the nearest city (1.5 hours each way). What to do?!! Has anyone experience of a longer commute and was it worth it? If anyone has any wisdom to share be very grateful :-)
