I currently do 4 days a week, the one day I have off I will use to totally blitz the house after spending time with my 2yo. When he starts his half days in school, I am going to increase to 5 days.
I use my day off to do a lot of the tidying and cleaning and am beginning to stress about how to fit it all in! I fear I am losing any hope of down time also!
That’s not even to say about the increase in comments about how “it’s a long day” for the kids with the after school clubs (DS4 loves it - furious if he’s not the last kid there). They will be in additional childcare three times a week.
Can any FT working mums give me any reassurance? How do you manage?
My DH is brilliant btw, he does all the mental load of food shopping, cooking and finances.
