Hi all,
After some opinions and advice.
I'm a single mum to 2 girls (5 & 2). Currently work 3 days a week, 1 day on the office and the other 2 days at home. Fairly 'easy' job, leave the work at work from 5pm so to speak and don't think about it until the next day/next week.
It's very convenient with hybrid working as I can take/pick up 5yo daughter from school twice a week, and the other day she goes to breakfast and after school club at my 2yo DD nursery (she goes 3 full days to nursery).
I have been offered a new job, still 3 days a week but at the office every day, which means 5yo DD would need to go to breakfast and after school club 3 days a week instead of 1.
Job I'm in now pros:
convenient for childcare, easy work, OK pay, gives me experience. Good HR system in place.
Cons: the work isn't very interesting, not a long term job for me. Have to commute via public transport as its city centre (can take up to an hour each way)
New job pros: exactly what I want to be doing long term, better pay. Free car park (around 30 mins commute each way)
Cons: solely office based, no hybrid working which means kids in childcare for longer.
mum guilt is kicking me knowing they will both be in childcare longer than necessarily needed
