I know it’s hard to say without specifics but in general would you consider giving up a reasonable paid FT middle management job, wfh, good holidays, pension etc but that is stressful and unfulfilling for a low paid, no responsibility part time job that means loads more time for kids, yourself, keeping on top of housework etc?
Partner working FT, long hours, decent pay but with little involvement with the kids. Feeling very guilty about lack of time and fun with kids lately as both tired and grumpy but big drop in household income would also impact them. Financially comfortable for the first time really.
Recent sudden bereavement has also left me with itchy feet, life’s too short etc. Been with current company nearly 20 years because it’s fit around kids. No idea what I want to do longer term but just feel I need a break.
Just thinking out loud really, any advice?
