    Re: 'Target harder to get into than Harvard'

    It really sucks. I want to return to work not only for financial reasons but for my own sanity! I miss working. I think my availability is good compared to resumes I have dealt with in my previous job. How are mothers supposed to get back into the workforce if no one will hire them? I would prefer part time at this stage, not sure I am ready to put dd into care full time I would miss her

    Would working on weekends when your DH could look after her be a possibility?

    Yes I have put Sunday as an available day because DH sometimes works on Saturdays. But he doesn't usually find out till the Friday and one days work from him is way more than one from me!

    Have you thought about family day care as they are usually more flexible with hours.

    I have thought about it, but I'm not entirely comfortable with the idea. I know they are triple checked and everything, but I just don't like the idea of one person and one pair of eyes. It's sad really that you just can't trust people these days. A friend uses FDC in my area, maybe I will ask her what she thinks. Mind you her kids are 3 years +
