Working full time
I've recently started working full-time, with everything being so expensive I just couldn't afford to live off a part time wage anymore. I feel so guilty though about having my kids in full time childcare, they're so tired at the end of the week. I try to pick them up early when I can, but it doesn't really seem to make that much difference. They're only 1.5 and 3 years old, I feel sad that they have to spend so much time away from me and their dad. I don't really have a question 😅, just wondering if other mums have this guilt as well or have any other perspective they'd like to share
1000% it’s so unfair we have these babies yet can’t afford to be with them as much as we’d like. I just tell myself we’re all doing the best we can. I’m back at work 4 days a week and have my 15month old in childcare and I must admit, I do clock off early much more often than I used to just to get that extra time. Don’t be too hard on yourself, unfortunately that’s the way it is right now :(
