Hi ladies,
Since having DS1 (now 3.5) I have wondered from full time work, to temping to part time work after DS2.
I have recently started a course at uni with a view to doing my degree (part time evenings so not intereferring with anything)and hopefully becoming a teacher.
I work 3 days a week with very understanding employers so I have it good, and I know that but now I need more time for studying and also am enjoying spending my time with the kids (which was difficult before because of IL issues). Yesterday I worked out that we are just £2.78 better off by me working, so essentially I get up 3 days a week and go to work all day for £2.78 per month.
Last night I approached DH about me giving up work and DS2 being with me with a little help from my parents for study days as ILs are no longer able to help even if we wanted. I really feel like I want this now, but he just said we can think about it..... what I cant understand is what there is to think about when clearly we are worse off financially. He even suggested I get a ft job, as I work as a PA and there are some well paid PA jobs around, but I failed terribly at ft when I tried with just one child and have only recently got to grips with cleaning, cooking, kids work etc.
My question is how to approach the subject again and try to get some sort of agreement that suits us both.
