Hello everyone,
I'm in a total fix about a job I've been offered.
It was a full time position, I asked for three days but they offered four - which I accepted.
I now feel that I may have made the wrong decision. My son is 19 months old and I'm enjoying spending time with him and working freelance when he's asleep.
The job itself will be quite boring, and childcare costs make the salary almost negligible, but it is a fantastic organisation and I'd love to work there.
The situation is further complicated by the fact that I am searching for a nanny for the time when he is not at nursery (which is full until August). We're also moving house in August so I'm struggling to get my head around all of these changes...
At the same time, I would like to get back into the employment market before he goes to school, and would also benefit from the maternity benefits when I have another child.
I really don't know what to do! Even though I've accepted I guess it's not too late to change my mind, although I'd close off any chance of working at the organisation.
My heart says stay at home, but my brain says take the job, see how it goes and leave if it doesn't work...
Sorry for the rant! Any help much appreciated.
Thank you.
