I’ve gone back to work part time and I’m on less money then when I started 5 years ago and I’ve looked at other jobs but the hours do not work for me.. LO starts at 9-4 so what other jobs are people doing?

I WFH doing admin type work so have few meetings. 7am-3 5 days a week. Mon-Wed my partner drops LO at nursery 7.30 on his way to work and I pick her up during my lunch break about 1. Start back at 1.30 and honestly she naps until 2.30/3.30 anyway! If she wakes while I’m working I’ll feed and change her then she plays in her (huge) pen until I’m done as it’s never long anyway. Thur my MIL has her my full work day and Fri my husband WFH and we both keep that day low meetings so we can take turns looking after her and getting things done. Often I’ll put in some flexi time or AL on Friday as it can be our trickiest tbh

I’m a journalist and both me and my husband work from home, so a lot of flexibility for drop off/pick up!

I work in the nursery she goes to. She does long days but it means we only have to be there for 3 days a week
Yeah I feel you need a job that’s flexible but it’s hard to find that..
