What would you do in this situation...
Currently I work Mon- Thurs, 9/9.20- 5. (Since my son started at school my start time has skewed but has not been took off my daily hours). I don't think I get paid for lunch, it's 1 hr and I get roughly £1450 a month after tax. My son then does after school club until 6. Dh works long hours also. Our evenings are pretty much took over with tea, clean up, Prep for the next day then a long bedtime routine.
I am toying with the idea of 5 short days- 9(ISH!) Til 3, if my boss would let me.
My thinking for this is yes I would lose the 6.5 ish child free hours on a Friday however I would gain 2 hours every day (as I would be home at 3.45 instead of 5.45) and would save £200 a month (give or take the tax free childcare - after school club is £12.50 a day I think).
What would you do in my situation? It seems like a no brained but would I be doing myself out of a lot of money? I think I currently do 7 hrs a day (not Inc the lunch break) so that would be 28 hrs a week, whereas doing 9-3 Monday- Friday would be 6x5= 30? (So if anything am I gaining a day) .
I just don't know what to do but at the moment working 4 full days a week just is not suited for me at the moment
