I started back at a new school full time in Jan. My DD is 9 months old and now goes to nursery fulltime. Decided to go back to work after a great 9 months at home with DD, financially not working with me staying at home.
Just finding it a real struggle to balance full time work with missing DD, housework and the schoolwork I have to do at home.
I leave school as soon as bell goes so I can have a couple of hours with DD. then have tea, put on a washing etc and then sit down to do minimum of 2 hours schoolwork. Never have anytime for myself and spend weekends trying to clean house and have time with DD. I know its the same for all working mums but think I could probably just about cope if didnt have all the marking, planning etc to do at nights . Parents nights and meetings after school just make it worse and my DH is not exactly helpful round the house.
