Back to f/t work after having kids......

[nothing2lose]

DD was born in May. I went back to work full-time in the July, so about two months.

I would have killed for longer....

I have just started last monday. 4 days a week. My DD's are 2 and 4yo.

You know I'm on mat leave at the moment but when I work I do 3 days a week. I will be going back to 4 days a week when DS1 starts school & DS2 will be in kinder (so roughly 2 years). That all depends on budget though. I could find myself back sooner.

I won't work full time again (or until the kids are nearly finished school) as full time nursing is so hard and you can go weeks without having a day off with the kids as we work so many weekends and that is something that neither DH or I want. And you can also do a stretch of days up to 10 days in a row - not good for family life.

Best of luck with your decision hun. It is so hard finding that right balance.
