Help! After a few years of my career taking a back seat, I started a fantastic career opportunity a year ago. The role is full on but mostly remote and flexible and I rarely work outside my contracted 40 hours. The pay is ok but it is a wonderful opportunity with plenty of scope for career progression. My kids are all primary school age +. The problem is my DH earns 3 times my salary in a very demanding role where he is out the house for the children's waking hours. He is now able to work from home once a week which helps but he has also had some medical issues which have limited his assistance so that nearly everything else falls to me. We already have a cleaner, shop online etc...I just don't know how else to cut corners and not spend all weekend doing chores and life admin. We don't have family help and I also have to manage my elderly widowed father from 200 miles away - at the moment he is just lonely but will need more in coming years. I LOVE my new job but since taking it I now hate the rest of my life and don't know how to get work life balance without throwing in the towel on my job... unfortunately part time hours are not an option. I feel so inadequate as the rest of the world seems to manage work and family and actually have some leisure time. What trick am I missing?
