Hubby has finally posted in his blog, about his new job. Its a great change in his role, and a fantastic opportunity to move his career forward. But it has left me with a difficult choice.
With his new, more responsible role, is an increase in the level (and type) of stress he is operating under. As always, I have been aware of the need for me to balance the impacts this sort of job has on the household, and the family. Next year was supposed to be my year to work on my career, but I worry that there isn’t enough room to fit two careers in this family.
Miss17 is off to Uni next year, which will impact financially. Mr11 is off to highschool, which will impact financially. But, along with that financial impact, is the need for one of us to be flexible and available, for taxi duty if nothing else. I get the impression I will need to closely monitor mr11, at least for the first few years, or risk his inherent laziness causing a plummet in his grades.
I feel torn. I feel its time to move on from my current role, but the conditions that make a school position attractive despite the ridiculous workload (school hols) and my worry about the needs of my children …. leave me feeling at a bit of a loss.
