Going on maternity leave...

hi all. I'm not a gran yet but am about to make 2 lovely ladies grannies for the second time ??

I need some advice. I have a 2 yo who goes to my mil 2 days per week currently all day but am due to go on mat leave at the end of November.

My question is what do I do? I want to keep the inlaws happy and my lo loves it there too so while I don't want to change routine too much I also don't want to be dropping lo off at 8am when I don't have to be at work.

I would like lo to continue going there 2 days but instead of 8-5 I'm thinking 10:30 ish till 5? My husband could do the pick up as normal on his way home.

This way my daughter gets a change of scene, I get time with the new baby and the inlaws should be kept happy. I think they'll be a bit disappointed but it's reasonable?

Does this arrangement sound ok? X

Sorry, mummyagain - I didn't realise the gps had already said they wanted to continue with childcare. And you are right, it is lovely for your child to spend time with gp and it is a special time for them all. Glad you have spoken to them and all is good. Enjoy your maternity leave and good luck with new baby.
