[quote=Anonymous]Op, I was 3 days a week, went up to 5 and am now back to 4.

I really didn't find working shorter days 5 days a week to be a good fit. It felt like working full time. There are no days off to do fun stuff with the kids (library hour, swimming lessons, gym class) - and no time to run errands (bank, doctors appointments, etc). All of those things had to get done in the evenings and weekends. That meant we had to cut other things out of evenings and weekends and it meant that it was harder to run errands at a time when people were commuting and getting off work.

I am now doing 4 days and that so far is working well. I still have one day a week to do all the stuff that is easier during the daytime and I have time to do daytime activities with the kids. It is also nice on weeks when someone is sick or we are going away or having guests to have one day a week to prepare or clean up from that.

I am not sure what your options are but you might find like I did that not having any week days off was not a good trade offs for the benefits. [/quote]
