hi all ,i just thought id do a post to see what the majority of us do ....not for any other reason other than i want soooo badly to be able to be a sahm at least till my lo's are both in full time school but since we need to move house asap due to the lack of space where we are i have to go back to work ....so i work at tesco 16 hours and in the nursery i used to work at ,14 hours a week so ill be doing 30 hours a week
i feel really awful that i wont be here every day 3-6 and 2 days a week i wont be here in the mornings cos ill start at 6am at tesco but its a means to an end and if my oh gets made redundant at the end of the month we wont be able to move but we will at least afford the bills for a bit ....sorry that turned into a bit of an all about me
so what do u all do ...sorry for the nosyness xxxxx

I am currently applying for a full-time job which would take me out of the house probably 4 days a week minimum. I'm not sure how I feel about that prospect but will cross that bridge if and when it comes to it. My chances of getting the job aren't great, but it is nice to be polishing my CV again. Even if it comes to nothing, I will have given my self-confidence a bit of a fillip! )

As a teacher I get to spend 13 FULL weeks at home with Max anyway! So best of both words I suppose!

My sister will also essentially be doing what you do when she goes to work when her youngest is old enough.
I work 31.5 hours a week, but its shifts because i'm a nurse.
Start nights next week, Grrrr!

I joined Usborne to earn some pennies, get myself out the house and keep my brain ticking over! To keep my registration after February, I am considering doing a couple of nights a week. I may have considered this earlier, but our families live over 2hrs away and friends work full time so I decided to be a SAHM than put her into nursery. I am happy that I have been able to see my daughter develop and progress through her milestones. x

Now I am off on mat leave and considering returning part-time. I don't want to be stuck at work and paying someone else to look after my kids. Childcare would also eat up my wages.
I also couldn't stay at home full time with the kids. It would crack me up. xx
I'd love to work less. But actually now I'm back into the routine I quite like being at work. Lo has become much more social, he was a very shy sensitive soul before.
Ideal world I'd just work 2 days a week but never gonna happen. S x
