I'm considering a change of jobs that would mean moving from a 3 day a week job to full-time term time working. Has anyone done this and found any particular issues with it? It would mean losing me-time on my home days (yes it's a lot of cleaning, ironing, organising etc but I have space/time to do it) but gaining time with the kids at holiday times. Not sure if that's a good trade off or not.

Hi I have recently done this....it's taken a few weeks to get back into the swing of working 5 days a week but just starting my first half term holiday is good :-) I'm very lucky that I got a job working at my son's school so have no Childcare costs or pick up stress, there 's a lot to be said for that. I am missing my "me" time but I think it's worth it while he's young.....

I'm just considering the options at this point so don't know exact hours but I expect it would be 9-5 every day. But ideally it would be more local than my current part-time role.


I'm slightly wary that I'd find it hard to lose that time to catch up. And as the kids approach the upper end of primary, they don't need quite as much entertaining on school holidays. But equally as they get older, it becomes easier to do stuff with them so it'd be nice to have a bit more time together during the holidays.


I think ED mummy is probably right and any extra money from it should go on a cleaner.


Just wondered really if there were any angles I hadn't thought of, from anyone who's done it. slh2009 - sounds like it's working well for you.

    • Electrical work can be dangerous, and hiring an unqualified individual can put you and your family at risk. and negate your insurance. A qualified electrician has the training and experience to safely handle any electrical issues, reducing the likelihood of accidents or injuries. With the exception of simple tasks, it is illegal for anyone other than a licensed electrician to perform electrical work. Hiring a qualified electrician ensures that the work is done in compliance with local laws and building codes. Some electricians are being recommended on EDF but here is no indication that they registered with NICEIC or NAPIT.  One is well advised to steer clear of Check-a-Trade which is a marketing service funded by subscription.
