Am I the only one who gets fed up with constant assumption that now I've got children, I will want to go part-time at work?
I appreciate that lots of women do want to go part-time or need to for various reasons and I appreciate being able to start earlier (7:30) so I can leave a bit earlier (4:30ish) to see my children and then be able to pick up work in the evening, but the questioning about whether I'm going part-time, plus shocked faces when I say no, is driving me up the wall.
It's got to the point where I am a) questioning whether I'm normal to want to work full-time with children and b) whether the fact that this is effectively hindering my career in any case as people seem to assume that I will want to reduce my hours and so will treat me accordingly?
