Hello, wasn't too sure where to post this. I currently work part-time, have a DS of 3 rising 4 (at nursery part-time) and my hubbie works full-time and travels overseas quite regularly (short stints of 2 - 3 days every couple of weeks or so).
I feel like I'm struggling to keep on top of everything. Although part-time, i feel like I'm doing a full-time job on part-time hours so often have to work in the evenings to catch up. Plus keeping on top of the house and all that stuff. My DS is an only child too and demands near on full attention.
DS is due to start school in September. Obviously because he's at school, there'll be extra chores such as getting the uniform ready, plus the school is a 20 minute drive away so extra time there.
My part-time job comes to an end shortly thereafter. I'm likely to have an option between working full time or not at all as there aren't many part-time posts around for what I do.
How do full-time working mums cope with all the other stuff that needs doing? Are you doing housework till silly hours in the evening or spending your weekends catching up?
