Update

I love my job. Yes That is right. I work full time and It is full on but never feel like rushing home at the end of a busy day. True, I miss my girls. I miss Amelie's 'precious moments'. She learns a lot each day. New words, new songs, tries new food, makes new friends, may be she hurts herself and cries and I am not there to comfort her. I can smell other women's crappy perfumes in her soft silky hair sometimes and I feel sad. Feel so sad and guilty cuddling her before I put her to bed every night. Isabelle hates going to childminder's after school. She cries almost every morning. We all have to suck it I guess. This is life. They are healthy and safe. And we spend quality time- about an hour a day- cuddling, playing, laughing, dancing, singing. That's what matters, yes? Work- life balance - what a load of rubbish! There is no formula, always a compromise.
Let's focus on the positives; I have a job that I love, my girls are happy to see me when I come home every day, daddy does more childcare than before, we have a cleaner now, we have more money so re- decorating the house...
