Same as @dani_brewer, we both work, but no daycare/school, yet (maybe PreK down the road, idk). H works 50-60 hours per week (all different shifts), but I only work 2-3 days per week, 7-8 hour shifts in the evening after H is home, or in the early morning before he goes in. I'd love to be a FT sahm but we live in a high COL area.
@LuluRM I would love to SAH as well!! Unfortunately mine is the higher paying job so that is completely out of the question. Maybe some day....
I hear ya there! I made more than H for the longest time, and we both worked FT (me early mornings, him late night). We never saw each other. H got a promotion & raise 3-4 months ago, so I stepped down to part time (I'm grateful, but it is kind of a tease! It makes me REALLY not want to go to work!)
I am a SAHM/retired nanny of 7 years. I spent 4 years working in a daycare and have a degree in early childhood education. Currently I am only watching a few part time children while DH and I work on renovating a portion of our home into a state licensed group daycare. With that I am required to provide a preschool curriculum during the active school year. Unless something changed down the line DD most likely will just stay home with me. However I do have a wonderful preschool lined up if needed.
DH &
I are both 28 Together:
12 years Married: 09/24/2011
BFP#1: January '12 - DD1 09/16/2012
Preterm labor 31 weeks. Monitored for Hellp and diagnosed with oligohydramnios July '12
the hubs works a normal job 7-4. My schedule alternates weekly with a day shift and night shift.
When I am on the day shift, the hubs drops him off at daycare around 6:30 and I pick him up at 4.
Night shift weeks, he is home with be till about noon, then off to day care and picked up at 5 by my husband.
I am currently trying to transition into real estate so I can be more of a WFHM, but I still plan on sending him to daycare for a couple days of week. If nothing else for the learning. I have no teaching abilities at all.
Both DH and I work. DS goes to school full-time, DD goes to school half-day. Both of our mothers babysit our kids on different days and they pick the kids up from school and watch them until DH or I get home.
I used to work ft and they went to dc until we moved a yr ago. The last yr the youngest was home with me. This yr she starts pre-k so they are both in school 3am's a week
