Start new P/T job on 30th....advice and tips needed from all you old hands please!

[becaroo]

I start work on 30th on a part time basis (afternoons/evenings). I havent worked outside the home since having my son who is now 4.

I am really looking forward to it, particularly as my son starts school in January but I am worried about how he will react, obviously.

I was wondering if any of you working mothers out there had any tips/advice about how to minimise the upset/disruption at this big change for him?

Also a few tips for me on mananging house/husband/child would be very useful!!

Thanks..

Hi, best wishes for the job, I am sure your son will be fine i think us mothers worry more, spend some time explaining what you will be doing while he is a big boy now off to school, use his favourite toy as a way of explaining, make some time aside just for him regardless of housework.

Organisation is the key specific days for specific tasks. I work 35 hours a week with 4 kids elder ones are teenagers now youngest 16 months but we cope, enjoy and good luck
