Ds is 9 and DD is 6.
I had a four and a half year career break after DS was born and then a job share came up at my old firm. Lower grade lower pay but it has been two days a week and it works out about £1000 a month because I don't pay any tax.
It's a bit boring but easy.
A role has come up in my firm with the same boss but it's much more full on. Basically my old job pre kids.
They've said I can work school hours, 8:30-2:30 and wfh one day a week. So 30 hours a week. It's a big jump from my 13 hours but it's also a big payrise. I'll net about £2800 a month in the new job.
I'll have minimal child care costs due to the timings and we will get a cleaner to ease the burden.
I'm having serious doubts about the impact on the family I like having days to myself whilst the children are at school although I realise that is really self indulgent.
The problem is if I try it I lose my 2 day a week job and potentially end up with nothing.
I feel wracked with guilt at the thought of the children having to go to holiday club
DH is just seeing the ££££ but I'm really nervous about the impact on the children.
I feel like I am going to turn it down but I'm worried I will regret it. Please someone talk some sense into me.
Thanks
