Basically I am leaving my current job of 30 hours, term time only work.
I have an offer of a 37 hour, term time only, office based job. Salary not the best, around £18k. Hours are 8-4/330, I could take high school child in and back with me. Dh would take the nursery/primary school child in. The latter would make his own way home after school, the former would need an extra hour at nursery to cover my hours. When he starts reception it would be a juggle. I applied and like the sound of the job because it sounds interesting, I like office work etc.
However my husband runs a business with an office at home. It has been going for 2 years now and is doing well. He ideally would like someone in the office part time, which is an option for me.
Pros would be flexibility around drop off/pick ups for younger ones, more time at home, easier to keep on top of housework/DIY/cooking, less stressful etc. Easier to fit in a fitness class, or coffee with friends.
Cons would be not needing to leave the house, less sociable etc. More of a juggle in hols (he wouldn't expect me to work throughout), easy to 'drift'. I also feel it is a good idea to keep another source of income/employment in the household, just in case.
What would you do? I'm far too indecisive.
