Is this worth it?

I am a high earner. My salary is £200k per annum. I have a 10 month old and I desperately miss him and feel like I'm missing out. I work 5 days a week, following hours, about 40 days holiday per year.

Sunday 10-6
Monday 9-5
Tuesday 1-8
Wednesday 9-7
Thursday 1-8

Is this worth it? I don't know what to do. Feel really upset at the moment. 😢

Well make the most of the mornings, I'd much rather have a couple of mornings with my lo than the drudge of post nursery and bedtime.

Suck it up for a year or two and you will have lots in savings to be picky about working in the future.

You can always get more money but you’ll never get more time.

What, more than 200k pa?!

Yes this. So blasé - you can always get more money. Absolute bollocks. If Op is a teacher/governess in almost any other country or job she'd earn a lot less.
