on maternity leave, I need to put in my flexible working request soon and I’m really unsure on what to do in terms of going back to work.
What I would like to do is go back 3 days a week part time doing long days so I have a balance and can spend more time with DC.
We have a nursery two days a week.
Husband wants me back full time because of finances. We don’t own our own property and we need to start saving.
I don’t want to miss out on little ones early days, and to be frank if I do what I do now at home on top of full time work I think I’ll break.
DH says he will help me more but this is a conversation we have again and again. He doesn’t help with housework, hates cooking and on his days off I’m still left with looking after our child. I never get a break. DH thinks I sit at home watching tv all day which js not the case. He wants to go part time instead as he can pick up overtime but he doesn’t really enjoy the baby stuff, and I know I’ll come home to a messy house and be expected to help but when I want help it’s rare I get it.
He’s being very adamant that I go back full time, what do I do?
