I work for myself and wfh 90% of the time. I work school hours and take most school holidays off to care for DCs. This flexibility is great but I don’t earn a lot. It also means when work comes in during hols, I sometimes have to do it when kids go to bed.
My DP earns a lot more than me and works 5 days-3 in office, with an hour’s ish commute each way; 2 wfh.
I’m looking for input from other Mums in a similar situation..what’s your balance like in terms of bedtimes, school runs, attending stuff at schools, admin, laundry, general housework etc?
For reference, I love what I do and recognise that my DPs salary facilitates me being able to earn less.
