Went from 5days to 4days a week
Went from 5 days to 3 days a week. It's hard to fit all the work into three days but I enjoy a 'long weekend' with my son every week x
I took a new job at 2 days a week ( 3 would be my ideal). I get in early at 7:30am to get stuff done and often work through lunch. This does mean I can leave at 4:15pm to collect my son. I spend four hours on a Sunday morning doing the rest of what I need to but we do get a nice chunk of family time as well. Full time and the associated work in the evenings/ at weekends would be impossible.
I’m going back 4 days in March-September then going back full time September 25
I dropped from 5 days to 2. It's a big pay dip but I already found full time teaching incredibly stressful and hard to manage so I didn't want to continue doing that on top of parenting. I've found it a better balance for my mental health
3 x
4 days, which is the same as I was doing before
