A Photo Safari { A Daddy Day Care Weekend }

The start of my part-time job has meant my husband is now caring for the girls on his own for large parts of the weekend. While I'm enjoying being at work, and also the break from the chaos of having two toddlers at home, a part of me also misses them too. Wondering how they are, what they're doing or where they are. Of course I know they are completely fine with their Dad, but still......

Luckily my work morning is peppered throughout with endless photos from my husband of their whereabouts and mini-adventures. There is something to be said for Daddy day care, while he might forget to brush their hair and teeth in the morning, it is effortlessly care free, completely unplanned and relaxed. Though the state of the house when I arrive home is often also a sad reflection on this.

While my working hours are only short compared with those in full-time work, I have a new appreciation for Mum's who manage to work part-time, manage a house and do day care/school pick ups. Because let's face it. When you finish work at work, you return home to just as much, if not more work.

I can't help but wonder if it's all worth it!

A Sunday morning for Amelie and Jessie at Ophtalmia Dam.

  2. Adorable photos and yes, Dads do things different! Yesterday, I sent my husband and little babe upstairs to pick out her outfit for our trip to the local coffee shop. I suggested a dress. When she comes down several minutes later, I have to bury my face in my bath towel to keep from laughing. She is wear a white dress with big bright flowers on it with light blue pants with a totally different floral print on them. With striped socks. I asked is she picked out the outfit and he said, no, he though the pants matched. Good lord! I don't even want to think about what he'll do when she actually has hair to comb! :)

    1. That's a funny story. By the time your daughter is 5 he'll have her outfits fully co-ordinated and will be doing french plaits in her hair I'm sure!

  3. Daddy day care at its best. It might take a while to get used to being a working mum but I am sure you'll enjoy it. I always liked the adult company when I was working, it can get quite lonely at home even in the company of children. Cx
