I've been looking for a job for ages but hadn't had much luck. A while back I saw an advert for a job that didn't give much detail but sounded interesting so I applied and I then had an interview which went fairly well. At the interview it became obvious that it's a full-time job with some overtime but it's a fantastic job. As I wasn't expecting to be offered the job I didn't ask about flexible working or anything like that.
They've only gone and asked me to work for them
I genuinely don't know what to do. It's a great opportunity and on good money but I just don't see how I will be able to do it and still be around for my DCs. It's been horrible on benefits but the only upside was that I was home for when my DCs got out of school and I was home for school holidays. Being around with them that much has been lovely and I think it's helped them a lot after a lot of messing around from the ex.
If I take this job then they'll be in after-school clubs five days a week, and holiday clubs for a lot of the school holidays. And that's assuming that I can even find some after-school clubs around here with free spaces and that will take someone in year 7. I've had a couple of offers from local friends to help out which is lovely but I'm just not sure it will be a good thing for my DCs.
