Taking A Kid On My Scheduled Days Off For The $

[MotherNature]

Well, if you decide to be open ft, hopefully the families will be great for you!

Its crazy. I think its a sign too.
In addition I just hired a housekeeper who also does childcare. I'm thinking she will be interested in an assistant position.
I will likely take my current DCF the extra two days and see what happens with the othersp
I guess I have some thinking to do.

The "second job" is not a job outside of the home and takes no extra time away from my regular routine. I raise hedgehogs and they have started maturing. I set up my breeding schedule to give me one litter per month And so far so good. Its not guaranteed income though, things can happen. But the hoglets sell for a good amount.

Hedgehogs? How much do you sell them for? Can I have one in CA?
Sorry, I know it's off topic, I feel like Doug "Squirrel"

- NVM. I can't have one. Stupid CA.

Not at all.
I termed a long time, full time family to make this schedule happen. I don't want to work 5 days a week.

Don't do it! I was in your situation - only took PT b/c we sort of could afford it & I wanted a day or two free each week. I would do as BC suggested, find other ways to cut costs to make your 3-day week work! I just think you will regret it. It sounds good when you are adding up the dollars but if your intent is to only work PT after a few weeks it will wear you thin.

Thanks for the input. I think you may be right. It does sound good. After a few weeks I will be sorry... But now I'm in the situation of my current DCF needing FT. If I don't provide they will likely leave...
