Hi guys,
So my eldest is two and a half and will turn three in October. This means I can put him into nursery and get 15 hours free child care from the government as of January next year. All good right! Except its looking like I will be starting my masters degree in September of this year. I'm not sure of my timetable but I know its going to be completely different to what it is now, and a complete shock to my son! He's used to me being a stay at home mum and now I will be busier than ever. So far I have planned to stagger everything so I start uni in september start work in November and then Isaac will go to nursery in January.
Recently I've been wondering if this will all be too much for him, my mum is Ofsted registered and is going to have my youngest son whilst I'm at uni etc and pick Isaac up from nursery when I cant. I've been thinking that it may be easier for everyone involved if she also has Isaac. Would this be a better option? I think its definitely worth thinking about.
I'm eager for Isaac to make friends and interact with kids his own age, however I finish uni in June 2017 and he could start at a nursery then perhaps instead.
Does anyone have any thoughts or any similar experiences to share and help ne make up my mind!!
