I live my life knowing that life will, work itself out & you will wonder why it was that you worried (I am a worrier too tho!)

Also work is work, your family is your life & priority! So who cares if for a day or 2 you are at home with your Son & others have to do a little bit more!

I would not worry, If your Mum is happy to have him I'd definately take her up on the option now & if in 6-12+ months time you feel it's not working then you never know by then DH's work or yours may have changed to suit you both more!!!!

Good Luck!
Thanks for your response, I think just getting my post out there and perhaps chatting about it, it really doesn't seem so bad. Also to working with (majority) females you think that they would be understanding, but instead of that they are quite *****y (am I allowed to use that word) behind your back at times which is a shame....Thanks again
