The first month or so is going to be difficult when you go back to work I have always worked with my kids since they were small my two oldest are only 10 and half months apart and at the time it was difficult I worked since they were 6 weeks old and then went back to college they are now 21 and 20 I have a 12 year old and stayed home until he was 2 and it was more difficult leaving him then he had got used to me, but if you get super organised it can be done I too am from Scotland and I would say there are more resources over there I am in the states with no family support and found it really difficult but I was a single parent with my first two in scotland and found it easier there than here even although childcare wasnt readily available. I use to come home with the kids feed them bath them and sit about an hour playing and quality time. then they were in bed by 8pm or 9pm at very latest I would do laundry and prepare everything for the next day so when I got up it was a case of getting them ready and breakfast then go an I usually had to be at work by 8.30pm my paycheck was eaten up with child minders or daycare but I think you have to keep sane and be involved with adult interaction I am from Glasgow were are you from miss scotland but nothing to go back for now my mum has gone. welll I hope this is of help. Accept any help from family dont be to proud and it will get easier, you will enjoy your children even more if that s possible if you come home and havent seen them all day. and they will appreciate you.
