Does anyone work full time in addition to their other half working full time? If so what sort of hours do you do and how do you find managing it? I really don't want to do five full days but maybe it wouldn't be so bad ?? It isnt the kids being in daycare full time which worries me (as they love it) but DH and I being able to keep up the rushing about for five days (both of us in 9-5 type jobs). I have done a few odd weeks of full time and we cope but not sure about everyweek. At the moment I am in office three days but doing about 33 hours a week anyway so in real terms 5 extra hours isn't that much extra but being able to work 5 days would open up alot more c opportunities. Maybe 5 days but less hours per day might work better?

No, I have one RDO per week (and one work from home day) but when DD starts school (in 2018 lol) I will be going F/time again. The plan is to use OHSC in the mornings and DH finishes in time to pick up the kids. We will continue having a cleaner and already we batch cook (eg Monday night cook Mon/Tues dinner) etc Lots of people do it. I think the hardest thing would be the rush after work - dinner/bath/bad - and ensuring bedtime is reasonable every night

Before I went on Mat leave with DS2, DH and I both worked full time.
We had no dramas in doing it, once we got into our groove it was fine, even with the travel I did with my job.
