It meant we had less money coming in, but we only needed 2 days a week child care, and that we filled in with other parents taking turns. It ain't easy, that's for sure. It took us years to have a child, so the thought of handing him off for the whole week just didn't bear thinking.<br />Good luckWally Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05992375461165449990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994323168581097580.post-79845562621712426152011-03-21T12:07:43.138-07:002011-03-21T12:07:43.138-07:00Thanks Sian, it's all so confusing.

Part of me wants to retrain in something completely different because if I have to leave my son for any length of time I want it to be for a job that I love. After my experience of health visitors it's been niggling at me to find out more about the training to become one. I don't think a few of them realise just how important their job is for a new mum.<br />I could probably handle a couple of days a week but haven't put much thought into it...guess I need to decide what I want to do first and take it from there xxKerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01046465971089896601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994323168581097580.post-72771313254023298332011-03-21T05:39:45.164-07:002011-03-21T05:39:45.164-07:00Another good read or am I just nosey!

I was lucky when I went back to work after my 1st,went back to my nursing job 2 days a week and also did alternate Saturday nights in a nursing home.<br />My next door neighbour was a registered child minder so Rhiannon went there 1 day a week and to mil the other,we are very lucky to have them close by!<br />Hardest thing in the world,going back to work,if you can manage on reduced hours Kerry,I'd recommend it,they grow up way too fast,I speak from expierence now being the proud owner of a teenager!<br />I will have to go back in September time joy! Have you thought about what you want for Jamie as in nursery or chilminder? There should be a list of both in your local library and at least that way you can go check them out.<br />Hope that is of some help,also start getting super good at being organised now as its like a military operation to get out in the morning!Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10627176696331432031noreply@blogger.com
