Is this cheeky to ask in new job?

[Cheepcheepchirp]

Nearly 3 months into a new job. I’ve almost completed my training and so far feedback has been very positive. I’ve been a SAHM for last decade and I’m dreading school holidays and not being able to spend it with my kids. I didn’t realise they’d still want to spend as much time with me!
I do 3x 8-5.30, plus 6 hours (when kids are in bed). I’ve planned eldest DC doing their own thing and youngest in holiday club those 3 days but I’d much rather work 2 long days, just for the summer hols.
I would take it unpaid (prefer not) and only have a couple days AL left.
Am I cheeky to ask and if not, what can I suggest?

Great news OP!

Really pleased for you Op. So many negative, narrow minded and sneery people on here saying you should be grateful for your 4 days off. I’m the same always wanted to spend as much time as possible with my child and if that meant less work and less pay then so be it, they’re only young once. Many companies have flexible working policies these days and everywhere is different so definitely worth asking, or as in your case, asking without asking. I wouldn’t stay in a job where it was frowned upon to even broach it - if it’s a no then so be it but to my mind it would be pathetic to sack someone for it.

did you know there would be school holidays beforehand or did this information come out of the blue are you expecting child free colleagues to pick up the slack

I wouldn't . They're still Assessing you as an employee. You're not even out of your probation period.

You're wrong
