Long term Sahm to 80% - experiences lease.

[RequiresUpdating]

Tell me the realities of going from sahm for 13 years to 80%/33hrs15. How did you cope? More importantly, how did the DC cope with the change?

Routine will help massively.

I also second finding friends that your kids can go home with at lunch, even if it's a temporary thing in the beginning. It'll help them build confidence and they can work up to going home on the days your DH isn't there.
