Going back to work full time - reassure me please :(

[myrootsareshowing]

Hi all,

As per my thread title, I am returning to work full time and I just want some hand holding really (pathetic I know)

My DD is nearly 2 and I have been doing flexi work so she has been in nursery 4 days a week. But with the flexibility I have had no rush to drop her in, can pick her up earlier etc and get an extra day with her plus weekends.

I am now going back to a full time job. Monday to Friday.

Does anyone else work full time with children ? How do you manage?

I don't want it to effect her at all, I just want her to be okay.

My DS is nearly 2 as well and I went back to work full time when he was 10 months. It's fine, you just get in a routine. DS gets fed all his meals at nursery during the week so that helps. He loves it there. If your DD is already in nursery 4 days then she must be settled. The only thing I find hard to juggle is keeping on top of whether we have enough milk, bananas etc. I'm always picking up extra food shopping in my lunch break!

I went back to work full time when the kids were 1 1/2 and 6 months.
The kids love it at nursery. The staff are fabulous and kind and loving. They're well fed, well rested, always happy...
I miss them so much. I try to make the most of the 2-3 hours we get together in the evening. The weekends go by so fast. They love it though. They're so happy.
