I have taken 6 years out of work as a stay at home mum and have had 3 children in that time. My husband and I are ttc #4 but his job is becoming unbearable for him and I think he is becoming quite depressed by it but cannot see a way out.. he already retrained 3 years ago as his old job was very un family friendly. We also do not have any family or friends willing to help out with any childcare so it would be either him or me working while the other looked after our children. so tonight Ive looked online at jobs and found the job i left 6 years ago being advertised as available! I am feeling a bit sick and scared about possibly going back after so long away. And about leaving my 14 month old if i returned full time to my old job. I never imagined myself returning to work until all my children were at school and no longer babies! I have a 6 year old, 3 year old at nursery and a 1 year old. I am just wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation and how things worked out. Thankyou! (Also just to add my husband is a great dad and i have no worries about him looking after our kids its more me scared to leave them as ive been around 24/7 since they were born!)
