I'm in a relatively fortunate position in that I'm going back to work 3 days a week so for childcare DS will be in nursery one day a week, with DH one day and with MIL one day. So it's possible that I can choose which days I go back.
But am struggling to work out whether it's better to do work in a block, eg M-Tu-W and then have a lovely long 4 days off, or whether it's quite nice to break it up and that 3 days without DS is too much. Have had conflicting accounts from different people, usually along the lines of being more positive about their own decisions unsurprisingly.
Anyone else work 3 days a week and what are your arrangements? Do you find it works and if so why? If your work days are spread through the week do you feel that your employers 'own' you more than if you were in three days in a block and then free for the rest of the week?
