Hi all,
I need some impartial advice - here is the scenario:
DS1 is 4 at school, DS2 is 9 months old. Financially we have decided that I need to return to work. I can earn a very good salary and will easily get a job if I am prepared to commute. My problem is, is that when we made the decision to come back to South Africa I did so with the express purpose of being a SAHM while DS2 is little, certainly until both kids are settled into Jr School.
I have accepted that I cannot be a SAHM (at least for the next year) but I would still like to work locally to be able to do the school run and spend an hour with the kids at lunchtime. If I commute I cannot be around to do the school run and this makes me sad. Here are my options:
1 - I can take the job and get an aupair to help with the children and school-runs
2 - I can hold out for a local job which would pay far less and will be much more difficult to secure.
What would you do?
