Does having only three kids count? These days some people think three is heaps of kids. I once thought 5 would be nice, but I'll settle for 4 (have to get an extra chair for the dining table LOL)
Hi Rayla, I have two at school (9&7), one at kindy(3) 3 days per week and only one at home(1) fulltime and I'm 34 weeks pregnant with number 5. I work every second Wednesday morning at the Community Health Centre. Our day care centre in Town is open for four hours a day(9am-1pm) during school hours and I have Miss 1 booked in on Wednesday's. It's no problem to have her with me all the time and I can take her to work with me but I must admit it is lovely to have a morning to myself, even after I finish at the clinic I go and grab a drink and Morning tea at the shops and mag to read and just relax. I think it's important to be able to just sit and relax for a bit without the brood. lol. I think I would put her in for the day (School hours) if it was available. A recharge is always good, lol.
Hi Rayla
I have 3 at school (9,7,5), the three yr old goes to kinder 2 days a week and I have my 1 yr old home with me! I am currently 33 weeks pg with no.6. We find that with Elizabeth at kinder for those two days a week, it gives the 1 yr old some time off being dragged around.
Sometimes we all need a bit of me time.
Jack goes into care twice a week now, it gives me time to catch my breath, catch up on the housework and care for the babies in peace hehe. He has only been going since March and so far it has been really beneficial for him, it's run like a pre school, very structured which is exactly what he thrives on.
