Basically I’ve been forced into a situation where, for a few months starting next week, I’m going to have to put my 9 month son into full time nursery (50 hours per week).
My mum was going to help with childcare but unexpectedly died over Xmas and my partner was going go part time but has been told now he can’t. I can’t leave my job or go part time as I am applying for mortgages currently - we are having to move 200 miles in the next few months to be closer to the rest of the family after my mum passing so the 50 hours situation is really just a stopgap until we move.
Does anyone else put their child this young into nursery for such long hours? I’m feeling absolutely gutted about it - just another horrible thing added to my plate at the moment.
