That is ridiculous, what do they mean commit once a week? Like doing reading group or canteen etc? Surely they don't say mum must do it, can't dad? Or maybe a grandparent? If they said mum I would chuck a huge stink. But mine aren't at school yet, so don't actually have that problem...
I'm stalking back in here cause I got a start date with work to go back. 15 June. quark will only be 6 months =( but we just can't survive on only DHs wage. We are scraping so tight as it is with my half pay maternity leave. I'll only be going back .3 to start cause I worked out the base and penalties for that will cover the bills, petrol and care for Spock. And I requested set shifts for the first few months while we settle back into it. They said they are sure they can do it, and will let me know when the roster is out, so haven't said yes as such...but hopefully they do it. Mum and dad said they will watch Quark for me. I'm hating that I have to go back so early
