I did reduce my hours so I could look after our boy before he went to school. Was brilliant, if finances allowed I would 100% have done it full time. Bit of cleaning, some proper cooking, Teaching the boy interesting stuff about nature etc., off on an adventure in woods or feeding ducks in afternoons.
loved it. In my job I often meet terminally ill old fella’s and they never say they wish they’d worked more,Almost 100% to a man they say their one regret is missing out on their kids growing up.

Savacentre pay more than the pit? If not, that'd be a stupid thing to do.

These days they would probably both be on minimum wage.

Wish my Mrs earned more than me. I'd retire and look after the bairns.

It’s piss easy looking after the kids and I reckon they prefer time with dad as I fling them all over and get them hyper

About 7-715 so not so bad, older one is about 730. Tbf I'm up by then anyway so first I know is when I hear puppy dog pals go on the TV in the living room while I'm having a coffee in the kitchen
