I had my baby girl 5 months ago and was due to go back to work a few weeks ago as my maternity leave ended. But when I was speaking to my supervisor about returning to work on a fixed schedule because of childcare reasons and I only want to go back part time (20hrs p/w) so I can spend those precious moments with my little girl I was told they couldn't provide me with fixed hours because I finished work on a contract saying flexi work hours over any 5 days of the week.So then I asked could I work whatever days but finish by 5pm each day as I have nobody to mind my little girl after that time. Even at that she'll be with 2 or 3 different peoople the days I work. I don't want to put her in a creche as I wouldn't like the idea of someone I don't know minding her, even though they are great creches that provide qualified people and great facilities. I think I'm a bit insecure. I'd love to be able to feel secure about the idea but I know I never will.
Anyway I just don't know what to do about going back to work. I'd love to go back just a few hours a week but they just can't seem to meet anything I ask of them. ↓
