I guess I'm looking for a little reassurance/reality check.
I'm due to start a new job in September, I've got two DC who will be almost two and almost one when I start. I know it's not going to be easy at all and I of course have the mum guilt but just recently I've had quite a few comments from family, friends colleagues saying how it's going to be horrible and that they could understand if I 'have to' but not if I don't.
That's what I'm struggling with, money wise I don't 'have to', but me and their dad are only just deciding to give our relationship another go and if it doesn't work I want to be able to be as independent as possible.
My new job is a more money and although full time, slightly less stressful than the one I was doing part time previously.
So AIBU working full time with two such young children, if I don't need to money wise right now? And for anyone doing similar, any tips to make it easier? Their dad is very hands on and we've got good childcare arrangements, nursery and a few days with grandparents plus grandparents as back up for nursery closures/sickness etc, I also get paid if I need to be off with a dependent child and their dad can work from home if needed occasionally.
