How does it feel having Zander start school in the coming weeks?
We are all excited. We are fortunate he has loved daycare so much that he can’t wait to start “big school” and is counting down the days until he can wear his new uniform.
Who’s more nervous – him or you?
I don’t think any of us are nervous. He has been in the daycare routine for five days a week for a couple of years and we have to drag him out of the centre every day. He almost seems in a rush to grow up. The only thing Sam and I are nervous about is that school hours are a lot shorter than daycare hours!
What has helped you juggle two kids and a career?
I’m not going to lie – two working parents who don’t have traditional hours (one who travels weekly for work and one who owns their own business) means the juggle is most certainly real. I’m fortunate Sam and I are an equal partnership when it comes to running the household. He is a fantastic dad and copes better with having the kids on his own than I do. My parents help out but I do feel a lot of the time like we are only just keeping all the balls in the air.
