Currently work 22.5hrs pw over 3 days, office hours.
Been offered new job, 35hours pw, over 3 days, 12hour shifts. Also option to do 24 hours over 2 days.
New job also has 3 weeks extra hols and better mat leave. Also be back on full-time pay.

But means I will miss pick up from school and bedtime 3 days pw for DD and will be potentially leaving very small baby if preg plans go well.

What to do???

BTW - this is first post so not quite up to speed on acronyms!

Personally I would go for the new job.

If it has more holiday that will make up for the 3 missed bedimes. You will still get 4 bedtimes per week plus more maternity pay = less stress and more time at home. Plus you could always try to renegotiate hours when you go back after second baby!
