I currently work 24 hours over 3 days. 8 hours days. I have a toddler and a teenager. Teenager normally in normal hours high school toddler in 3 day's a week nursery at 8.5hrs each.
Toddler really struggles with nursery and separation anxiety, and finds nursery difficult, he has been going for 18months.
I would quite like to be around for the after school time in the week and I am considering spreading my hours over 4 days and working 6 hours a day. This will mean 4 days in nursery but short days.
This is the plan for next September as he starts reception class, but wondering if I should bring it forward a year.
What is your experience if you have done this? Pros or cons? And what would you advise?
We really love our 2 days in the week together for days out and the like, but I also want to be around after school for my teenager. Such a difficult decision for us to make.
