How do you find working full time and leaving your child with someone else??
I start a job fulltime next Tuesday and I am dreading leaving Flick for 40 hours a week
She will be with my stepmum during the day and early afternoon OH will pick her up.
It will be 10-6
11-8
and every other Saturday

On top of this I am halfway through and ICT course so A couple of days a week on my 11 start I am going to be in class

But with Christmas coming up the money will come in handy
My wages will cover the £102 Council Tax and another £40 bill and the rest of the money is ours to play with xxx
I am feeling less stressed out about money now

I do 3 days at the office and 2 days at home. I managed to convince my employers that working 3 days would work and it does.

i cant afford to work 5 days a week due to child care costs.

We work alternate shifts so we only rely on eachother and my mum, and Harry is going ino nursery one day a week soon, its hard leaving him a lot but we can't not have me work so it just has to be done for now xx

son went into child care when he was 10 months while i was at college and then while i was at uni and now he is in after school club and even though he is 11 next month.

its still hard that he has to go to kids club but they great with him.

i'm looking around for nurserys for bubs and thats hurting thinking about it.

but i do things like his birthday is a school day so will finish early and i see all his plays and oncce a month i try to pick him up as a treat but its not the same.

the new house means i will be able to take him well till january anyway and that will be a new change for us, i've never took him to school, he normally has a bus collect him.

hun you have to do what you have to do and i have to say seeing his face light up when i pick him up every day never grows old

I work 4 days a week (12 hour days) and Wil goes to his childminder 4 or 5 days a week. He absolutely adores her and she loves him too so it is fantastic for him and I don't worry about him at all while I am at work.

I am really strict about my time with Wil and we have quality time together at weekends and for about an hour in the evening when I get home. On the days I am at work OH picks Wil up and they have about 1.5 hours together before I get home so that is their 1-2-1 time.
