To be scared about starting full time work?

[whensitmyturn]

Got promoted last month- same company but a managerial role. Start next week. It's full time and this will be first time I've ever done full time let alone with 3 dc's (11,10,3)
It's also shift work, I spoke to my manager about childcare issues and they will do Rotas a month in advance and dh has organised flexible working with his employer. It will be easier by September when youngest is in full time school and eldest in high school.

I had kids almost straight out of uni and have finally found a job I love and think I am relatively good at and really want to succeed but am nervous at making it all work plus with an unhelpful dose of guilt of both parents working full time.

They are making my current job a temporary one so that if I can't make it all work then I can return to my old post so that's a relief knowing I won't be without a job.

Anyone else ever felt like this? Am I wishful thinking that it will work out?

YANBU to feel nervous but with very careful planning it will be fine and only get easier as the dc get older.

Plan your AL very carefully from the start of the year and consider getting a cleaner and doing internet food shopping to ensure that all of your non work time isn’t spent on chores.

Good luck.

Sounds like a big change, but it also sounds like you and your dh will manage it. Congratulations on your promotion!
