DD about to start school. Both DH and I work full time. I will leave home 7.45 and return at 6.15pm. I will have mothers help take and collect her from school - (hrs are 9 -3pm)and look after her in majority of school hols. DH out of the equation in terms of childcare. Having read the desperate housewives thread I am freaking out with worry. It seems like a lot of people are saying that it is imposible for parents to work full time and supervise reading practice and nurture their kids. Please can I hear positive stories from other mums who are managing well. Thanks
