Hi, I'm in a predicament and appreciate some outside opinions other than my own and my husbands.
I rent a room in a hair salon, I specialise in HOTWAX intimate waxing, HD brows and make up (weddings etc.) I work 4 days a week and am really busy. I have a 6 year old at school, and a 3 year old at nursery. I have recently decided that I'd like to have another child. My childcare costs and rent are £1100 a month and I make about £400 at the end of the month. Still have to take materials out of this.
My dilemma is, do I work from home and only work a Saturday and a Thursday night, not have to get as many people though the door and cut out all my costs? It would leave me free to deal with the kids picks ups etc. I could be around the house and there to make my husbands life easier as he works away a lot and is always needing to be there for pick ups from the nursery etc..
I'm worried I'm throwing away my business which is thriving, but not giving me much profit due to childcare costs and rent.
Should I work from home for a few years while my kids are young and I have a third child then when they are all at school start up with premises again? I'm 38 just turned.
Help I'm scared I'm doing the wrong thing
