:wave: Hi there,
I recently returned to work after 7 years at home with my two sons. I am now 10 weeks pregnant (not the best timing but still exciting). I'm having difficulty transitioning from being there all the time for my kids after school to not being home until 6pm, making them dinner and then putting them to bed.
I do enjoy getting out there and working though.
And I have the entire 10 seasons of Friends on DVD which I watch before bed :laughing:

Hi there!

I am currently working full-time and have since my DD Charlotte was 3.5 months old. We moved about 45 minutes from my place of work so that my parents could care for Charlotte whilst we both work full-time.

Currently 25 weeks pregnant with 2nd baby, still working full-time but wanting to move back to where I am 2 minutes from work at the travelling it really starting to take its toll. I have booked a total of 33 weeks annual/mat leave for next bub and have negotiated to go back on part-time basis (3 days per week).

Yes, life hectic!

how do u work as a police officer, with a child? or do u have set shifts?
i have always dreamed of bein a police officer, use to work as a special for greater manchester police before i moved to aus but as my parter doesnt work set hours we wouldnt have someone to look after the kids if i was on certain shifts, and apperently over here u have to do a country post stint, which is out of the question for me, so i prob wont be able to do it

As for what i do at the mo im a full time mum, which i actually find very hard, im very career minded and miss work
