Dc 6 and 1. I'm currently self employed but work very few hours, some weeks nothing at all. Others a lot but for no pay. I have little to no money. Dh pays for everything!
After dc 1 was born I was made redundant, retrained and did lots of voluntary work. I basically haven't been employed but have worked and fulfilled contracts until dc 2 came along last year.
A great job has come up. It would double our family income but its full time and a lot or responsibility. I didn't apply the first time it was advertised, it wasn't filled and now it's being re advertised.
I simply can't decide whether working this much is a bad move? I love working, the independence it gives me and I am bored at home. However I love my dc and being able to look after them all the time and keep the house nice makes life a lot easier.
So do I oh with bored and easier, time with dc and wait. Or apply for good job, work ft (could maybe get hours reduced to 30 hrs a week), employ a cleaner / gardener / full time child care.
I can't apply and see what happens. If I get it I 'll have to take it because it's with folks I work with now.
