Both my wife and I work full time, we have two kids, one in nursery and the other in school. We get by and work around friends with kids by sharing child care (I look after 2 kids on a Wednesday after school and our friend does the same two days a week). We also have school age daughter in after school club three days a week.

We cant complain because we went into parenthood with open eyes knowing the downside in terms of the work/life balance, the upside of course is having two great girls who we love.

Where there is a will, there is a way.
