I am currently not working (job came to end about 3 weeks ago) as expected so that is fine.
We have two young children, one at nursery and one just started school. My wife has a very good job. I am considering taking a step back/down for a few years and get a remote job which is likely to pay half what I earned before but will mean I can do all school and nursery drop offs and collections and look after them during the school holidays around 14 weeks per year.
Part of me thinks this is great for the kids and my wife as she can focus on work and she is happy with this. Yet there is a part of me feeling unsure/hesitant about taking on a lower paid role.
Whatever happens I will have to do drop off/collection/school holidays due to nature of my wife's work, so is it better to make it easier for all if we can afford to live on my reduced salary?
Anyone done anything similar to this? Anyone have any words of advice? Please let me know your thoughts.
