Or do you feel you have it all?
I got made redundant at xmas from my great job as a banker in the city. After my first they let me go 4 days a week which i felt gave a good home/work balance.
But now i am trying to find a new job the options are either work part time do an entry level job for no money or work 40+hrs a week...thus never seeing the kids.
So hard do I work and have disposable income and focus on having great weekends or not work spend every day with the wee ones buy live pound to pound.
Also any of you feel you can really focus on an actual career now the kids are here - Is your career motherhood friendly? I always thought having the kids young would be a bonus now thinking maybe having the career secured would have been better. (not that i would change them for any amount of money).
