they're too old for daycare, the stepchildren, anyway. and they're in school during the day, so that would help. would you have to be the one taking them to school every day and picking them up if you watched them while the bm was working? i mean, rather than moving them in full time. wow, that's a tough situation.

that's a lot of work, i know, i have 5 children in my home and it's tough. i couldn't imagine doing it with a 3 year old and a baby. i bet your laundry piles are huge, lol.

You have to find out how much of the extra workload he's willing to take on. Sure, it's easy to say let's take them FT when YOU are going to be taking care of everything. Just a 3 year old and a baby are a full time job.
