Dunno whether it's worth working

You poor thing, it's so hard to decide b/w something that benefits everyone but comes with some compromises or doing the same old thing.

I applaud your decision to go back to work (sadly i know i will have to sooner than i hoped) and get that little bit extra so you can give the kids a little more of what they want rather than just what they need.

I hope things settle and they get into a new routine and start to realise your doing it for them!

GL with it all and i hope you find the right decision in your heart aswell as your mind!

Don't feel guilty for trying to do your best for them and most of all for yourself!

i can understand why DD is having trouble with it. She wants mummy to be there for her after school as she's used to it.

I think you need to explain to her the situation, that its best for the family and for you that you work.

More money = more freedom to spend money on things which may have been considered as luxurious in the past.

working mummy = happy mummy = happy family. For your sanity, not that you didn't enjoy being home for the kids, but they are all now older and don't need you as much as they did previously. Tell DD that you enjoy working.

I'm sure they'll understand, it's probably just new for them and need time adjusting to the routine.
