Can I join in? I work 2 days a week. I'm a Visiting Teacher of the Deaf and I was FT until about 8 weeks before DD was due, but I didn't need to take mat leave until about 3 weeks before thanks to school holidays She took another 2 weeks to arrive so I had my longest school holidays ever! She's 14mo now and I've worked the last 3 months. The hardest thing I've found is trying to fit all my work into those 2 days. I just donor have enough time and usually end up doing work while she naps during the day (so housework suffers) or in the evenings (less time with DH). I'm so glad I only took on 2 days!
