Get started!The first question you both must ask is: do both of us really, really need to work? Are we putting our personal priorities ahead of our children?
If not, decide on the following:
i. Who among the two should work. Traditionally, it would be the male. But, of course, it depends on both of you.
ii. Check if one of you can get a part-time job.
iii. Try and get a job that can be managed from home.
iv. Can you go on long leave from your present job? You need to check about that.
If both of you decide to work, here are certain measures you will need to take:
Alternate childcare
Preparing your child psychologically to accept your absence and to be self-dependent
Spending quality time with children whenever possible.
Note: Compensating with gifts and overindulgence on weekends will not help.
Making your child believe this is the way life is. It will make things easier for all of you.
