I am due to return to work next year part time 3 days a week. It can only be 3 days a week guaranteed for the first 12 months after that I believe it will be full time set shift 9-530pm. My elder kids are already in school but I have 2 youngings currently 2 and 1. I really don’t like the idea of putting them in daycare 3 days a week, especially not knowing what will happen at the end of the 12 months. They will both be starting kinder once they turn. I had a massive fertility journey to have these 2 babies and they are my last. I don’t want to give up any time I have with them or hand them over to strangers 3-5 days a week, for a job I’m no doubt just a number too.

Would you go back to work next year, knowing you would quit if made it full time, and put the babies in daycare that you’ve never done before?

Or

Leave the job and find something once both kids start kinder and within those hours? And gradually increase once they start school
Money isn’t a issue so it’s not like Im returning to work for financial reasons
