I work Tuesday to Friday full time-we leave at 7am and are home just after 6. (me and dale work in the same place)

I need to work financially, so does OH, I like being at home with her, but I also want a career and enjoy adult company. I find it extremely stressful and can often snap at Rebecca due to tiredness etc, but I have to do it.

After this buba I am reducing to 2.5 days per week.

Oh I think I am not a fab mummy as I love going to work. I work 18 and a half (though usually it is slightly more ) and I love my career. thats why we are leaving it for a bit to TTC so I can get a few more yuears experience behind me.

I do miss Seren when I am at work but I love seeing her face light up and her wobbling towards me when she sees me when I pick her up from nursery. It makes the day worthwhile for me

im a SAHM and sometimes it drives me mad! geting out swimming.gym or walking the dogs is a god send me to, just to have that half hour break to myself.

yeh i know both have pros and cons, your right layla. it's just that all my friends are SAHMs and they love it, so I wish I could be off all the time too. Plus my flat is a tip from mon-wed then I feel like I need to try and get all my housework done when I want to take eva out places.

beanie, what hours do you normally do? just wondering if it was tiring with serens bedtime and making the tea etc x

If your not fussed about what your actual job is, is it worth changing for something where you worked evenings instead? I started off by doing 3 days a week and hated it, Ihated leaving Noah even though his nan was doing a great job of looking after him. So I chanaged to an evening job at a local pub a couple of nights a week. So much better and Ididnt feel like it took time avay from me and OH either cause we still had several evenings together, plus both days together at weekends so we could do things as a family.

Layla

thats what im going to do as soon as Jase gets a job with no shifts, a part time evening job would suit good

I currently work 9-4.30 Monday (pick up Seren from nursery), 9.30-5.30 Tuesday (OH gets Seren), and 9-2 Weds (Seren at nanny's).

Seren goes to bed about 8.30, and on full days at nursery they feed her so we just need to get her a snack in the evening.
