Well... I'll give our story now. We are coming up to a point where we really have had to make decisions about $$, so far I've been doing outside hours while DH looks after Matilda... so on Wed nights, saturdays and I take her to work for 4 hours with me on Monday. So, we have decided to put her in on Mondays so I can work longer hours and she can get some social interaction. She absolutely loves that social interaction. We go to playgroup on Thursdays and she loves it, comes home utterly exhausted and happy for the whole day... so I decided one day a week could actually be beneficial for her. But thats all I'm happy with doing at this point in Matilda's life, one day is enough. We are pretty desperate for $$ but for the next few months this is all I'm happy with doing. So... where as I have friends who have to work who are single mums etc, this is our compromise and we are happy to make it, and I need some time to myself too. I need somewhere else I can put my brain into action. Thats my need too and we decided that was a valid need as well as everything else.. So Dh will take Matilda to daycare in a few weeks starting only Mondays and he will have his lunch break with her & bring her home. I will walk to work & work 5 hours and walk home & basically have two hours to myself after that. Just the same as Matilda having a sleep... so we are happy with this compromise.
