3 under 3 . Potential for me to go from full time to part time and work 3 days.

I have to be in the office Wednesday.

I thought Mom, Tue, Wed but then I’d have the children Thurs, Fri, Sat and Sun !

so . which days would be best do you think. For the children who are going to nursery and for me and my sanity!

Interested to here ! Thanks 😊

I work Wednesday, Thursday, Friday as suits me. My bh allowance is added to my leave to use when I want.

I do Tuesday Wednesday and Friday. I love my Mondays and Thursdays off. 3 days in a row drags, I like having the day off in between and not too much to catch up on spreading the days out. Plus works with bank holidays. Oh and also Fridays tend to be quiet!

Tuesday, Wednesday and Fridays.. Long week ends every week!

How do bank holidays work at your work?

Do you have to take them off, or are they added to your holiday allowance?

This would very much be a factor in deciding if I would work a Monday or not.

I used to do Mon/Tue/Wed and loved it. There always seemed to be plenty of toddler groups on a Thursday

I do Wednesday Thursday and Friday and think it's definitely the best days for me. I start the week getting the kids off to school and feel motivated to get stuff done in the house, batch cook or go for a run etc. no Sunday blues! And Friday is so much of a nicer day in work than Monday, everyone is winding down for the weekend.

If you get bank holidays it works in your favour not to work Mondays - it doesn't change the total amount of time you get off work but it gives you more flexibility to use your leave when you want to.

Having previously worked Monday Tuesday and Wednesday, I wouldn't want to go back to it.

I'd do Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday.

It works out better bank holiday wise too
