I am getting slightly ahead of myself here but I need to think longer term. I'm currently on maternity leave with DS3, going back to work in June. DTS1 and DTS2 have just started reception (in different schools, DTS1 has ASD).
Obviously thus far they are not geting homework as such, but we still try and read their reading books every night and they have sounds to practice. At the moment its hard enough trying to fit all that in and I'm at home. When I go back to work in June, I won't be picking them up from the childminders until 6.30ish and then it will be a mad rush to get them into bed so they can have a decent nights sleep. I have a 1hr commute either way and work finishes at 5.30pm.
How do you cope with homework/reading practice when you work full-time? I am wondering whether to go back to work 4 days (as I was doing previously) or 3 days in order to cope. Or do I try and cut my hours and work shorter days? (This is of course assuming that work will let me do that).

Those of you who work full-time (or nearly full-time) how do you make sure homework gets done?
