Part time/ full time working in a household... As parents.

Do you both work full time?

Or either or both work part-time or do shift work?

Do you have paid or family/friends that help with children?

How does that work for you? Do you wish you could make some changes?

We both work full time.
My parents helped when she was a baby and I returned to work.
She started nursery at 3, full time.
There's breakfast and after school care at work and she doesnt charge me - long standing argument with her - so we donate resources when we can.
If we didn't have that, it would be an extra 400 on childcare.
It's got easier the older shes got.

I wish I could be home for her more.

@V00doo it's sad how hard it is, this is an evitable stage in a lot of couples lives. Why they make it so hard I don't know. And people say get good jobs as it makes things easier but actually it doesn't. Money isn't everything what children need is time.
It really is a juggling act.
I'm sure she knows just how much you love her and she cherishes every moment x
