Hi, I've got 4 children and have been a SAHM since I had my last dd 18 months ago. I'm a nurse so need to go back to work very soon or I will not have worked enough hrs to re-register at the end of the year (& that will mean having to do a back to nursing course at uni which I want to avoid!!) plus we really need the money!!

A job has just been advertised at my old place of work (so great as I know everyone & going back would be easier as I know what job entails) but its full-time (no weekends or nights though).
I know lots of people manage to work full-time and have families but I only ever worked 3 days a week when I had 3 children and I'm wondering if i'm mad considering 5 days now I've got 4!!!!!

Would be really grateful to get some advice from anyone who has large family and works full-time. How do you cope???!!!

I worked 4 days with 3 whilst pregs with no.4. I'm planning on working full time with 4 (don't think I'll have much choice). Reckon it will be ok. Can't see how much different it will be to 4 days.

You are right lollystix, I need to stop worrying about it and get on with it! We need the money so its got to be done.

Needs must and all that
