Daycare plan is going to work out!

in February 2013 Moms

Our plan for LO is to have her in daycare three days a week, DH and I each work 4 days a week and stay home one day with her (so she'll have three school days,a mommy day, and a daddy day) DH's work schedule is super flexible, so him being home one day a week was never a problem. We reserved a spot at the daycare we wanted a few weeks ago and they were fine with us using their three day a week plan or full time plan.

The only hitch left was my employer agreeing. My boss pulled me in for a meeting this morning and my request to work four days a week has been approved! I'm on the verge of tears I'm so happy! I realize just how luck we are to have jobs flexible enough that we can really spend time with and enjoy our LO.

    That's great!! I love my 4 day work week! Smile  And when DH is working, DD and I get a day to do whatever we want!  When DH is laid off, we can do family days.  It works out great!

    I hate to be a buzz kill but how will you work with her at home? Especially when she gets older and mobile, it's a full time job looking after a kid.

    I'm not going to work from home. My job requires 40 hours a week, so instead of working 5 - 8 hour days, I'll be working 4 - 10 hour days. So my day at home will be a day of being SAHM, not working from home. Sorry, that's what I meant by "a day at home".

    One of the reasons I posted our daycare plan (aside from the fact that I'm so happy and relieved that it worked out) is to give other people ideas. I would love to work part time, but we are dependent on my job for health insurance so I need to keep my 40 hours per week. I found, what I think, is a creative way to do that and be a part-time SAHM.

    I've gotten so many great ideas, tips, and solutions to problems from others on the board - maybe this will spark and idea for someone about how to balance work and motherhood.
