Single Mam working full time

Hi all, I went back to work full time September and am really struggling with whether it was the right choice. I’m a single Mam, no support from the dad and money was a huge part of my decision. However, I could survive on the part time wage. Have I made the right choice? Or should I consider asking for part time? Anyone in the same position?

I dropped from full time to part time 40 to 35 hours. Only lost about £100 a month also changed to longer shifts so i only do 4 day weeks which is a great help aswell x

Sorry I know this was 4 weeks ago! Are you feeling any better now? I went back full time when my first was 14 months and I hated every moment of it. Fortunately I fell pregnant with my second pretty quickly, so I was only back for 9 months before another round of maternity. I work one 24hr shift a week now and it's wonderful. My sons are 3.5 and 1.5 x
