I work every day 10-3 in a lovely job that suits me and is term time only.I get to be around books all day which is just a dream and I really enjoy and get along with the ladies I work with.The past few months though my son has not been very well,he is run down and very tired,and his skin has broken out in excema.His nursery and doctor both said he needs a break.I asked work if I could have one day a week off for a term or so to get him back on track and my (department)boss said this was absolutely fine but apparently it went further up to head office and the decision was that I could have two weeks only of this arrangement.We are extremely quiet on this day and we three who work in this department know that it is no problem plus I am compensating and working extra hours on the other days.I am upset that some guy who doesnt even know me has made this decision?Last week the day with my son was wonderful,we read and rested and played in the garden.Do I give up my job??We can afford to and it would give me time to write which is ultimately what I really want to do..but I just cant help thinking good jobs that suit motherhood are so hard to come by and I might regret this decision?
