work weekends or mornings?

[jaynel]

i really need some advice, at the mo i work every weekend, i do 7am-2pm one weekend then 2pm-10pm the next weekend but im fed up of it, i miss out on family time and i dont like it anymore. BUT ive been offered a 9-1pm mon-fri and i dont know what to do for the best, i have a 9 year old dd and a 2.5 son. my mum thinks i should stay doing weekends (she doesnt really think i should work at all, like she did) but my friends say the week day as i have the weekends free and i will have the afternoons with my ds. i know you cant decide for me but what are yr veiws? i love my kids to peices but i really dont think i want to work weekends anymore????

did post else where but didnt get much response

mornings

i think i can sort childcare, holidays and half term mite be a pain though. i want to do mornings but feel gulity for my ds

is there no way you could do it on a 3mth trial basis?

dont know, im not sure they will do that, i know there are a lot of people who have applied.

mornings definitely

my ds is a real mummys boy, do you think this will change if im not around in the mornings?

yes - he'll become more confident and independent while continuing to love you loads and loads!

thanks april68 x

anybody else got any advice???

Mornings
Just think of all the lovely things you can do together with your dc at the weekends, especially since your dd is at school.

thats what i thought, just worried my ds will hate me! i kno that sounds silly but his so clingy
