Starting School
I was super excited yesterday to enroll my son in preschool for next year. However this also comes with allot of anxiety as i have no idea how i will fit work around his school hours. As preschool is only parttime he would still be in day care 1 day one week and 2 the next but then he is only in school from 9-3. My working day is 7.5hrs which doesn't fit into that. I could enroll him in after school care but having done that as a kid i cant imagine my little dude having to do school, after school care and daycare all in one week. That would be very overwhelming for me let alone him.
I have a few options but they all involve earning less money. As his dad doesn't work in the state we can't alternate days, i do have family who can pick him up but again that's allot of juggling for a little kid. I think at this stage my options are this:
- Work part time mon-wed around school hours and not work Thursday Friday. this would really halve my pay and im not sure my work would even let me do it.
- Work part time mon-wed and keep daycare Thursday, and add Fridays (I currently don't work Fridays). This would cost more as we would have 5 days of daycare a fortnight.
- Work full time mon-wed and just get after school care. Take Thursday and Fridays off. This would mean he is only in daycare one day (every second Wednesday).
- Try and work from home. Really this would only work if and when we move. There isnt really any work I can do at our current house.
