Should I go back to Full Time work or part time?

I have been at home with my 2 children ages 2 and 3 years since they were born. I used to be in marketing but re trained as a beauty therapist so I could work from home and always felt stressed in marketing. In the last 3 years I have built up a beauty business but it doesnt bring in enough money for us to survive. I have been offered a part time beauty therapist job paying £7 an hour which is ok and is only 2 days a week. But I also have opportunity to go for interview for a marketing job but full time paying lots more. Do I give up my own business to go for a better paid job? I would also feel guilty leaving children and would miss out on what other 'at home' mums get to do e.g meet up weekly, pick kids up from play school etc etc. I used to find marketing stressful due to own confidence issues but feel stronger now have kids as motivation??

Hi, it seems a shame to give all your beauty therapy stuff up when you have spent all those years training and building up your business. Why don't you try something that you can do that works well alongside it like direct-selling?
I started working for Phoenix Trading selling their greeting cards and I get to go to all my kids functions as I fit my work around them, I can be as busy as I want to be. I have also started to build up a team which really helps as well and am much busier in the run-up to Christmas selling loads of Christmas cards. Why don't you take a look at my website for further information.

Good luck with your job hunting.
