Working Mummies - Question?!

[SaraAbi]

I work 34 hours over 4 days, abi has a day each with her nannies and then comes to the nursery where I work for 2 days.

16 hrs per week, 3 days 8-1

I am going back when LO is 9months

Yikes. Reading this is scary!! Am I the only one working full time?? V nervous about it now. I have been getting LO "used" to daycare and sending her part time for January (3-5 hrs per day) and she's doing fine. Full time starts 1 February. Is it too much for her?)

40 hours, 5 shifts per week here too plus weekend cover one weekend in three, tbh sometimes it feels like too much and I am debating asking to cut down to 32 hours, but it's a pain in the rear for someone else if I do.

Went back when he was 9 months old to 40hrs a week worked over 4 days ......but went back pregnant again and finish in a couple of weeks

 

[emsiee]

36 hours over 4 days but doubt that will be the case if I go back!

I went back when LO was 20 weeks, I am a teacher so am in school by 8am, I try and leave around 3.45 (so work though that time without stopping, even eat my lunch while marking books), then I work for about an hour or so in the evening planning or marking (so that's just over 8 hours a day) Plus I then work for about 4-5 hours on a weekend early morning and in the evening. So about 45-50 hours a week.
Last week we had OFSTED so I was 10 hours a day in school, plus more at home in the evening, then I had about 5 hours at the weekend (so just over 60 hours in total)
Report writing time, parents evenings and summer concerts will all mean more hours.
So a lot!!
DS is home with DH though, so that makes it a little easier to bear. It's hard though.

I forgot to add my LO is fine, he loves nursery, it's me that can't stand fulltime work lol.

 

[Hayley90]

Full time. Between 37 and 40 hours depending on my workload. Has been that way since Harrison was 11 weeks x

 

[ouchwithNo.2]

Im going back in 4 weeks so LO will be 8mths by then.
I am doing 4 days per week, 9am start, 5.30pm finish.

 

[CormacksGirl]

I started back on the first of November and I am doing 12hrs a week!!

 

[LIZZY55]

I'm a fulltime teacher, i find it too much. I want another baby then to go part-time.

 

[leelee]

I am starting a new job the week LO turns 1. It will be 23 hours per week.

 

[cw1975]

40 hours and its killing me, i feel like I get archie out of bed, take him to nursery, pick him up at six and put him back in bed at seven

 

[Janidog]

I work 15hrs a week, but sometimes more and have been doing this when LO was 12 weeks

 

[MrsT&Ben]

18 1/2 hours a week. All Monday & Tuesday and Wednesday morning.
It's great. Perfect balance I think. Get lots of time with my baby and Work flys by

 

[jojo_b]

I'm going back to work in 2 weeks - gutted DH is having Fin in the day and working evening shifts. I'll be working full-time (I'm a teacher so hours vary)

 

[LdS39]

I work 4 days now. Thats meant to be 28 hrs but its more. Its not what I find ideal but we've no choice at the moment.

Would love to have Baba no:2, then think about either less hours or leaving work altogether..

 

[suzanne108]

I work 3 days a week, 6 hours a day

 

[SKATERBUN]

I have to go back full time in June, 40 hrs a week. im hoping to sweet talk the boss so I can get PT for a couple of months though just while LO can settle into nursery, fingers crossed !

 

[Annabel]

Sadly full time, 37.5 hours, except im a homeworker, so I know it will be more than that My LO will be in nursery

Ive been doing as much as I can with my LO while I have the chance! I'll never be able to get that time back to be with him all the time
