I too am a Full time working mom, I work 3, 12 hour day shifts at a hospital and my boyfriend's job is flexible so he works three of the days I don't work. That way the kids are never in daycare (there are 5 under age 6) which would be cost prohibitive. We do use a daycare for days when I am out of town on Headstart Business and Don needs to work but that is usually during the schoolweek so only the two youngest arein care.

I try not to feel guilty about working, I love my job and I love my kids. I make the majority of our income so I have to work. We also do foster care so it isbeneficial to keep these kids out of daycare as much as possible.

I am a better mom because I work. I know moms that are better as SAHM.
