I've been working 30 hours per week since my eldest was 2 (full time before that) but that was 13 years ago. I can't remember what its like working full time, but I also have a 12 yo and a 6 yo too now, exh and I split when youngest was 18 months so it would probably be different anyway because of my different circumstances.
The opportunity has come up at work to return to full time hours.
It wasn't worth it before because of commuting time = additional childcare and travel costs, but I have been given the green light to work from home for much of the time and as this is closer to the dc's schools I can actually consider it.
It would make a massive difference to my finances , but I can't remember what the good/bad bits are about full time hours.
Fully appreciate how lucky I am to have been able to work part time thus far, many of my other single parent friends have not had the choice.
What have your experiences been?
