I probably would but only if it wasn't going to burn bridges with my current place and if the cost still added up including WFH. I spend a substantial amount on travel, so my occasional WFH days are extremely profitable in comparison even though I don't really care for WFH in general.Comment

I've decided.... Staying put. £100 extra a day or see my three boys more? Family first WFH is goldenComment

I think I would do it if I was on a low rate to start with and this extra £100 would make a big differemce to my life. If I were on a rate that I thought was OK and I had some money to put away each month then I wouldn't bother. Working from home is priceless if you have a young family like I do.
So all depends on your circumstances to how you choose.Comment

That's another 500 a week, another 13k over a 26 week contract.
Personally, I dont see what WFH has to do with it either. If you're WFH you shouldnt be seeing the kids more, you're supposed to be working and in a 6 month contract the extra time seeing the kids during the WFH period would be minimal.
Obviously each to their own though but yet again, this forum provides conflicting advice.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!Comment

£100 on £600 is clearly less of a factor than £100 on £250.
I agree you shouldn't be seeing the kids while working but it does mean you potentially have up to 2hrs more at home when you're not working... plus you might see them at lunchtime, be able to work in the evening to free up your morning, etc.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Of course you'll see the kids more as you'll be at home rather than sitting in your car!And the lord said unto John; "come forth and receive eternal life." But John came fifth and won a toaster.Comment

However, I'm assuming the OP makes the most of the fact that he/she is probably not leaving the house early/coming home late and is therefore able to see more of the kids during WFH days.
I WFH one day per week for that reason.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
