I have been reading some of these threads and a lot of the messages seem to run to: it's really tough, just get on with it.
I have been getting on with it for a year, with a four day week (one day most weeks from home, an hour and fifteen commute each way for the other three days, one day with dd), and i am not sure I am as tough as some of you.
My situation currently works when everything is lovely, when dd sleeps through the night, when no one is ill, when there is not too much work to manage, etc. i think that is maybe 10 percent of the time.
During the year i have been unwell for a lot of the time with various things, got pregnant, and had a miscarriage. I dont blame the latter on stress/tiredness but my first thought when i knew it was a miscarriage was 'well at least I might be allowed some rest now'.
Anyway, I didnt come on to moan but to ask for positive stories. What IS working for you? How do you have most of it, if not have it all?
