Wish me luck, I have applied for p/t hours!

Hi,
just needing a bit moral support! I work for a large corporate and i have always worked full time (or not at all lol).

I am due to return in Sep and I have decided after a lot of thinking, discussing, etc to go back 3 days.

It's been a tough decision so I am hoping they will say yes. I need to talk to my line manager next week, really hope it happens now.

With 4 children 5 and under I know it will be tough enough going back 3 days.....

Just really wanted to say I hope they say yes!!!!!

Best of luck. :-)

Now, tell me, what are the advantages that you saw on working just 3 days? (just got a part time job and trying to decide whether to spread the hours over 3 days, or just work 3 full days...)

Well I thought of doing less hours over 4 or 5 days but then that would mean I never get to do anything much with the little ones.

the idea is that I get a couple of days in the week to go off and spend some time with the 1 year old and 2 and half year old!

Also more time to unwind and forget about the job (hopefully).

Then when DS2 goes to playschool I will have a bit of one to one with the baby.

Not sure if this is ideal of course, but there have been a few threads on here about this before and most people recommended 3 days as the best compromise!!!!

My child is already in school, but is not doing very well at the moment... hmm... not sure. But certainly having those 2 mornings free seems tempting... I could do all the cooking for the day in one and other household shores on the other one to clear the afternoons and weekend for nicer activities...

Thank you

cooking for the week... I mean...
