4 days a week is great. I’ve dropped down to 4 days work (4x8hours paid), and look after my son one day a week. My wife has switched to doing compounded hours on 4 days (4x10hrs paid) and looks after our son on another day.

We both get close to an extra 2 months a year with our son, which is phenomenal.

One thing I wouldn’t recommend is having a Wednesday off - it’s what I’ve had to do, and I find it a big interruption to my week & flow, a Monday or Friday would be better.

It depends. My brother worked a 4 day week when he had his daughter, same reasons as you. He loved taking Wednesday off, since he never had more than 2 consecutive days in the office He really doesn't like offices...
