Two kids, two careers, dreading return to work.

[TerrifiedMothertobe]

Back in September, still night feeding, not sure now we will cope with two demanding careers where both of us travel.

Can't afford a nanny after researching so back to nursery.

Tell me it will be ok.

It will be fine. Make sure you are 100% comfortable with your choice of nursery, it will be a weight off your mind.

Can you share calendars with your DH? It makes life a lot easier for me as I can check DH's plans in my Google calendar so we each know what we can commit to without endless phone calls backwards and forwards.

Are you sure you can't afford a nanny? When I costed it up, a nanny was approx £200 cheaper a month than two in nursery. And although DD1 has now gone to school it is worth every penny for me and DH to be able to do our jobs without juggling drop off/pick up, illness, inset days and holiday care.

I would loves nanny,but nursery is 1700 a month for two and soon out eldest is eligible for his free hours, a nanny would be 1800 net, so around 2200 a month.

I did dread the juggling when I went back with our eldest, but toddler and a baby and getting out in the mornings is a nightmare, and that's before I've got myself dressed!!!

We are starting baby at nursery two months in advance, experience has taught me that should make it less stressful...
