I returned to work after mat leave in January when my baby boy was 8 months old. I was very, very lucky to be allowed to go back four days a week (as a secondary teacher in the middle of the academic year, that's rare!). I love having Fridays with my little one but we just can't sustain it financially; my credit is maxed out and we're skint just a week after payday.
My head tells me that full-time is a must, but my heart is saying the opposite. I know that so many mums work full-time and do an amazing job at work and with motherhood but I feel so sad that it might have to end soon. Will I be letting him down? Am I letting everyone down by racking up endless debt?
I just don't know what to do for the best.
