I had a fab career then had dd1. I was made redundant and it worked really well as I then got a job at a school so not great pay but school holidays spent with dd. Then had dtds and childcare was too much so I cut my hours to 12 a week flexi time and we've managed but money is tight.
Now dd1 is in school and dtds get their 15 hours a week nursery places. I went for and got a pt job that pays well and is in line with my previous career. All is good although I won't get school holidays I am okay with that for a job I'll enjoy.
Anyway, when offering me this job the director mentioned a ft role coming up that he'd like me to apply for if ft was something I'd consider. I would never have looked for a ft role but it's an amazing job and I'd earn similar to dh (not sure why that matters and never has before but I actually quite like the idea). I'm trying to work out if I want it or if I'm just hugely flattered. Obviously I may not even get that role.
I've loved being home with dc and am really shocked by how much I think I want to work ft and be person again.
I mentioned it to family members but as they think the pt role is too much (dm was sahm until I was 8 then only worked pt) they don't think I should do ft. No family members apart from brother (and my lovely dh) have said congratulations and clearly they disapprove.
Am I crazy and selfish? Probably :(
