who's dreading going back to work????
Iam! Im not returning till july when Charlie will be almost 9months but am having to think about childcare etc.... The thought of leaving him makes me feel sick, I love my job but hate the fact i will have to return back full time, have been told i can't reduce my hours as im on a full time contract!! hoping to condense my hours into 4 days tho!!! Anyone else dreading it??? xx

I have just found a wonderful childminder though so that has put my mind at ease a bit.

It makes more sense for me to be a stay at home mum anyway as childcare would cost about 1000 euro a month and my wage is 1500 a month just not worth it!! I am not lucky enough to live near my family and hubby is in the army so no chance he could look after her!! Ever lol xx
still dont know who is gonna look after Grace!

My work said i either had to go back FT or work Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri 9am - 3pm and saturday 9am - 1pm so thats what i am doing !

I'm dreading it-I go back the 1st week of May-had reduced my hours to 27 a week, but since Lillith's diagnosis I am really re thinking what I need to do. I do need to work-for me as well as the money-but also feel I want to be the one at home. Think I will try and do 17-18 hours over 2 days. I also have so many appointments and groups that help her there is only really 2 days free-and that's with moving 1 thing and dropping another!xxx
i agree with lara babe i had to appeal my employers desicion when they refused me part time work have you been given a form to appeal?
I've got 2 months left and hoping to go back reduced hours. He'll only go to a childminder for a couple of mornings and then mum and I will look after him the rest of wk. Well that's the plan, but work just denied my request for reduced hours so we'll see how it goes !
So jealous of you ladies not going back to work. S x

Same for me, and I am absolutely dreading returning, especially as my job involves travel abroad at times and long hours.
I must admit, it does make me angry when I tell people I am going back and they ask "how can I bear to leave my baby?"
I can't!!! I just bloody have to in order pay our mortgage! :evil:
I have friends who "could NEVER leave their baby"...well I just hope that their circumstances don't change where they find they have to go and earn some money.
Still, my MIL is having lo so at least I don't have to find a child minder, and it does mean we can have a relatively decent standard of living.
