Awww lynie, that must have been a hard and difficult desicion to come too, trying to choose and cover the bases must be really hard, i'm glad you and your dp have managed to come to a comprimise and a situation in which you are both happy that all sides of family life will covered.

Good luck going back, and good luck to your hubby, i'd recommend he gets his own username and if he's stuck he can always post on here! lol

Good luck and i'm sure the kids will benefit from having this shared parenting system.... special time with mum and dad cool.... (but i would still be suprised if he looked after the kids and managed the washing etc.... my dp when he has the kids just does the bare minimum!)

Hugs and love to all your family hun xxx

Hey Lynie

I know this was a hard decision for you but you are such a good teacher and seem to really enjoy your job so that must be a benefit.

Thats great that you have worked it out for hubs to share the childcare - at least you wont have the extra worry of how they are settling etc

I know what you mean about people helping men - if Dunc is away for a weekend or something noone offers to come stay with me but if I go away loads of folk are round asking if he needs anything . Ah men!!!

Good Luck when it comes to going back

That'll be great for the lo's - least amount of upset to the family - hopefully make your return to work as smooth as possible for you all. Lucky you having a dh that can cope - there's no way on this earth my dh could stay at home with the kids - they'd all murder each other!lol

Good luck when the time comes!
