I taught nearly 10 years ago and I left after my induction year as I really didn't enjoy it and thought there were other things I would enjoy more. Fast forward 10 years and I'm older, a mum of 2 (toddler and baby) and considering how to make family life "work" in the near future and beyond up until the boys leave school (i.e. termtime, vaguely schoolhours friendly).
Does being a teacher work alongside being a mother? Do you have patience left for young children after being with them all day? How do you find the time to do marking/ planning? I would love for it to work as I've got the qualifications to do the job, I just need to find the motivation! My experience was with KS2 and would be looking at that again, if that matters. There's also a chance that I may teach at the school DS1 will go to - experience of that would be useful too. An important consideration is that DH is out of the house 7.30am til 8pm meaning childcare Mon-Fri is solely my responsibility.
