How to deciede whether to go back or not

[KimmyF]

I only have one child so my decision was a bit different as i only have one to consider. I am due back at end of April but financially need to return sooner so i am going back part time at end of January three days a week.
Have you considered FAmily Day Care as a care option for the kids, sometimes it works out cheaper and get be a lot less "busy" for the kids i.e. less childen and the older ones might be able to kick back and watch tv before school or afterwards like they might at home etc.
when i made the choice to go back part time we worked out what i would bring home what bills etc my wage would cover (to see it was worth it) i chose to go part time as it meant DS still spent more time with me than in care but i was still able to bring in some extra cash.
Sorry im not more help just wanted to say i feel for you being in this position and hope you can work somehting out to suit your family xxxx
