I’m trying to work out what to do when I return to work after maternity leave with my second baby. Eldest is currently in reception. I will need to use childcare and quitting work isn’t really viable.
I will be working two long days. Husband can do school/nursery drop off on one of these days, other day will need breakfast club/earlier nursery start. He will collect them from after school club and nursery at around half past five.
Day 1: 9 - 5.30
Day 2: 8 - 5.30
For my other two working days, I can be a bit more flexible. I’m wondering whether to do one really long day (+/- making up a couple of hours in evenings), or two shorter days. If a long day, children would be in childcare 8-6. If two shorter days, it would be more like 9-3.
Day 3: 8 - 6
OR
Day 3: 9-3
Day 4: 9-3
Which is the least bad option for the children?
YANBU: two long and two short days is better
YABU: three long days is better
Edited as got the voting options back to front! 😂
