I'm not sure whether it's a good idea.
Dc are 5 and 2. So 5yo in school full time and would need to go to breakfast club and afterschool club on days I work. 2yo would be in nursery.
I'd go back to teaching so no need for holiday childcare and I'd only work part time so childcare wouldn't be every day during term time.
Dh thinks it would take the pressure off him being the sole earner but I worry that it'd make his working life more stressful because he'd have to sometimes take time off when the kids are ill.
I'm also not sure I'd actually bring much money in after paying for childcare. I don't know how benefits like tax credits or childcare vouchers work.
I love being a sahm but I do sometimes think it'd be good for me to have to use the dormant parts of my brain before they completely die off
I don't have a job to go back to so I'd have to apply etc. Scary.
Any input/experience/advice welcome.
TIA
