Would you take this job with a 3 year old?! I’m torn!

That’s great to hear. Remember that it will take a little while to settle in so don’t judge the job from the first few days. Also if you can “front-load” a few onsite days you’ll probably settle in more quickly.

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Go for it. If you don't like it leave.

Did you take the job @Amivei 😉😉

What type of work do you do?
It depends what you are doing the work for and if you are going to do it well whilst managing everything else.
Ive always worked and have 2 young kids which was far more challenging than have 1 x 3 year old as they kept getting sick all the time and I was working solidly in a start up with insane hours. It did mean that some things slipped like surviving on convenience food, not seeing the kids as much as I’d like but I made it work.
Having a remote job is ideal as you’ll find that you’ll have lots of flexibility and the money sounds great too. I was less than that when I did my remote job initially with 2 young kids and it was the only way I could realistically work as I had the sleepless nights still to deal with and the long hours.
It seems like you don’t want to work if you questioning this so maybe it’s not a good idea taking the job and then someone who really wants it can take the job instead.

Do it and use some of the extra cash to pay for a cleaner/housekeeper.

Well said! I thought it must be a joke too! Poor OP , thank goodness I won’t have to listen to her ‘poor me’ whining if she does go back to work .

You must be the bomb at whatever it is you do if someone has headhunted you after 3-4 years off work to offer you a £70k job to work from home. It sounds too good to be true! The fact you have 24hrs a week to cook and clean and you don’t have to work sounds ideal too. I wouldn’t want to give that up either lol

If you don't want it please send the details to me

Take it or you'll die of boredom

So @Amivei did you take on the wonderful opportunity or did you prefer to spend your day cleaning your home whilst 3 year old is in nursery anyway. Do you/the job even exist or were you a bit bored and wanted to start a thread? Since 11 pages and no courtesy to actually reply to the responses you wanted.

100% this. ^

Hell yes. If in time it doesn't work out, then resign. You won't know until you try. As others have said with that salary, you can afford a cleaner, actually a housekeeper or what about a full time nanny. A friend of mine is a nanny and she cooks, cleans and irons too!

You didn't make this baby on your own, your partner should be sharing the household burden. You should not readily give up the opportunity to have a decent well paid job, using your skills, feeding your pension fund, validating your contribution to the family and to the world, unless you really want to be able stay at home parent. Your partner could share drop off and pick ups, mental and physical household load, and if he is so busy and so well paid, he can pay someone or several people to take some of his share of the physical load. He should not duck out of the mental load.. (IMO!!)

bloody hell, bite their arm off!! on a more sensible note give it a try. If it doesn't work you can stop again.

What job is it? Sounds like a great salary.

Def take it

i know what you mean but it’s surprising how much more you do when working. You can def fit it in

If you can't take on a job mainly working from home when you child is at nursery full time, how will you ever be able to work?
Do you need to wait till she's left school at 18?

You're never going to have more time than you have now, so how does that fit with your plans for your career?

When mine were that age I was working mornings only and had to fit in everything within 3 hours before school pick up time at 3pm.
It's do-able.

You need to be organised.

Go for it. The more time you have the less efficient you become. You get more organised when you have less time.

Haha I don’t think OP is in danger of burning herself out!

Give it a try, if it doesn't work out you'll have lost nothing - and you will have gained some more money for a while.

If you're earning £70k you can easily afford a cleaner once a week, order groceries online and outsource any ironing. You'll still be quids in by a long shot.

However don't burn yourself out.

Good luck.

OMG take the job.

100% this! Honestly what planet are people on.

The majority of working mums I know earn about half of this, are in the office all week & have more than one child.

I’m sure your 70k will stretch to a cleaner once a week !?

(I’m also not at all convinced you can take a 3+ year career break and walk back into a 70k job where you choose your own hours & only have to go to an office twice a month, but hey ho!)

Read this thread and learn from it. This could potentially be you in 16 years.

Take the job and maintain your own financial independence. It will be harder to get any job through longer you stay out of working let alone one that pays 70K.

Are you a sloth - how can you not manage your life on 6 hours a day!
Accept the job and speed up a bit!
