Ok I'm a sahp to 3 kids. Youngest is a 16m old. We need just a little bit of income. It will help with a few things here and there.
We get by but just a little bit of more money will help.

Anyway I'm stuck as to what to do for jobs.

I have been offered a 3 day a week, school hours job. Baby would need to go nursery. Older kids in school.

Or

A Saturday job working the whole day. 9-5.30.

Both scenarios bring in literally the same money.

Which one should I do. There's pros and cons to both!

I would go for the school work , better prospects in the future and although you will have to pay for the nursery care for now , when you can stop paying for it it will be like getting a pay rise, I would then put the same amount of £s into a savings account for hols, new washer, birthday or what ever.
Working Saturday means you dont get to see DH plus if he works long/ hard hours he may want to be able to spend sometime doing something just for himself.
( ideally every one should have a few hrs downtime to do as they please tho o know this doesn't often happen )

I'd do school hours as long a sit is term time.
I'd hate to loose all day Saturday, and at 18 months, she/he will be fine in nursery for that time
