new job and still in probation and trying for baby currently work part time but a full time position has become available as a supervisor and theyve offered it to me - wtf do i do. already pay for childcare atm - can i really work 5 days with 2 kids?

There are lots of us who work FT with 2 kids (and more).

If you want the job, can make the logistics work, afford the extra Childcare etc then go for it :)

Yep you can work with 2. You may need to re jig the childcare. How old is dc1 if you can use the same provider you may well get discount. You may well get help through tax credits providing your household income isn't over the threshold.
