I have two DCs - 8 year old and a 1.5 year old and have been back at work full-time since DC2 was 9 months. I have always worked full time and my role doesn't really lend itself to part-time or condensed working as I would just end up trying to smush a full-time job into lesser hours. I've always been committed to having a career but I feel like I'm the only person out there trying to do full-time with a small toddler and an older child. And I live in a town where I don't have any family help or support. Everyone at my DC's school works part-time or is not in the workforce at all and I feel like a 'lone wolf' doing this crazy juggling which is pretty exhausting and making me feel like I'm a bit crazy. Is there anyone else out there doing the same? I am in the minority, aren't I?
