Appreciate your thoughts, I change my mind hourly!
I have a two year old dc, dp works long hours so I do most pick up/drop off at nursery. I have a long commute approx 1hour 20 mins, hate commute but only 3days, wfh 1 day, have dc 1 day. I am HATING work, I am so bored, been there over 5 years, no progression opportunities, dull miserable atmosphere of colleagues. I don't mind my day at home, I crack on with radio on. I even have a spreadsheet counting down the days until I could theoretically leave. Do I stay and ttc #2? Likely to be knackered in early months so easier if stay at current job as no effort? If I moved I would delay ttc as I don't think that does your work prospects much good. If I do move I will probably loose my day with dc :-( I don't want to keep the commute, it makes 11 hour nursery day for dc, but my type of job only really exists in the City, I will be throwing all my experience away and starting again, but what to do? Will I struggle as no experience in types of jobs or seem as over qualified. In a lucky position that salary not a massive factor due to dp earnings. I am a bag of worries, I feel wound up all the time thinking about it. Any thoughts appreciated xx

If you don't need to earn (or at least not very much) then leave. Do something new and enjoy your little ones. I hate my 20 minute commute and the fact that I'm always rushing to and from drop off etc.i can't imagine doing your commute even three days a week.
