I'm desperate to start a family and DH has recently had a change of heart and thinks he may like to bring forward ttc. This has led to some more serious thoughts towards the practical matters. I hope I won't be judged for this but i really really want to return to work on a part time basis. I will love the time I spend with my baby beyond anything I can imagine but I love my job, and I think knowing myself, by the end of mat leave I'll be more than ready to return to work part time and have some adult company again (hope that doesn't sound selfish) However.. DH and I both work shifts and I can't see any way that we'd manage child care around the hours of early morning starts and late finishes. It would only be 3 days out of 9 I'd work, but I don't think my parents will be able to help much, my mum also works shifts and dad is busy with his new family. Just wondering if anyone else has any thoughts or whether I need to start accepting the fact that its very likely I'll be unable to return to work in the job I love.
