I and my DH both work full time, netting a good wage between us, about a 35/65 split in his favour.
We have two DC's both in infant school and his role is about to change, most likely to involve more travel etc.
The topic of me taking a career break has come up and I really don't know what to think. Like everyone else ( I think!) My job is great on some days and not so great on others, there is absolutely no opportunity to go part time, or find a part time role at my level.
Part of me thinks it would be great to take a couple of years out, enjoy more time with the children, get fit (or am I dreaming!?), live at a more relaxed pace etc. But the other part of me frets about pension contributions, financial independence etc.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? All advice welcome, I am totally on the fence!
