Money is not the problem, extra time with the kids is worth more than any contract.

So schedule August off now and look for a good child friendly adventure abroad.

Don't like taking time off when on a contract, thats what permies do!

That's one way to consider it.

I work hard, earn a reasonable amount, and then I take time off. This year, I'll have had 50 days when I could have worked but chose to take time off instead. Looking back, I don't want to think about missing my children growing up.

When they get to the age when they aren't fussed about me being at home, then I might consider working more - mainly so I can avoid a house full of teenage girls.
