Should I leave my new job to go back to the old if the take-home pay is very similar? (Cross post /careerguidance)

I'm 31, married with two children under 4. I just took a job for growth opportunity and career focus. I'm two weeks in and the job is fine, but the financials aren't adding up.

The new job has very high insurance premiums (it's why I mentioned my family), and taxes are higher than I calculated. These two things have eroded the entire salary bump that I took the job for. I'm making about 100 dollars more a month, not great considering the top line salary increase was ~12000.

Add to that a less flexible schedule and longer commute, I'm not seeing much of an upside anymore.

My old position is still open, and contemplating going back there. I left on good terms. The reason I left in the first place was that there wasn't much growth opportunity. Now I'm not sure it matters.

Right now I'm trying not to overreact (two weeks doesn't seem like long enough to try a new job), but the financials of it are really not great.

I know it's mostly my fault for lack of research, but I'm struggling with next steps.
