		<description>Just a thing about child care. There&#039;s no way that it isn&#039;t stressful at first. For parents and kids. But these days, my older son loves it. Absolutely loves it. Now that my partner is on maternity leave, he only goes two days a week and I think he&#039;s disappointed sometimes when he doesn&#039;t. So, if you&#039;ve not gone through it before, just muscle through the early weeks with the tears and the drama and ultimately the kids will love it.</description>

		<description>Very best of luck! You write wonderfully so I hope you can do it professionally.

My bit of advice (as a working mum) is to prepare your husband for the great impact your working will (or should) have on him. Many working mums fall into the trap of still doing everything child or home related while holding down a full time job. Get him involved in choosing a daycare, this very important decision should be made by both parents, figure out who will stay home with the kids when they are sick and how you&#039;ll make that decision on a day when you both have a can&#039;t miss meeting, who takes time off to take the kids to the doctors and dentists, decide now who will drop off and pick up the children, who will pack lunches, remember to bring diapers and spare clothes to school, buy the Christmas presents for the daycare teachers, etc etc, because oftentimes all of this falls to Mum, and it can be the breaking of us.</description>
