I have DD1 (4) and DD2 (7 weeks). DH died in June so I'm on my own. I have a nanny four days a week as I'm to exhausted, both physically and emotionally to give my four year old the input she needs. Nanny does stuff like take her swimming, soft play and also does all her meals and light housework for me. Most importantly she takes both children for 2-3 hours each morning while I get some sleep. Baby is up a lot at night, I'm breastfeeding.
But weekends are killing me. I'm so exhausted that my four year old gets 4-5 hours of TV in the morning and I'm snappy and tearful.
I've been thinking of advertising for a local childcare student to do 2-3 hours each weekend morning. I can sleep and DD1 gets someone with enough energy to play with her.
Would anyone want this job? 7.30 start? Am I being a wimp, should I get up and spend the time with the kids?
