Congrats on the second bundle of joy😊
Suggestion:
If you are staying near your parents/in-laws, probably get them involved.
They can help to drop by to look after your children.
Maybe once, twice/three times a week.
For your eldest child, perhaps you can allowed by taking the school bus.
Provide your child with his/her own house keys.
Fix a CCTV at home to monitor how your child is coping.
You can communicate with your child through the CCTV voice recording.
For your newborn, perhaps after maternity is over, you can send your child to the infant care centre near to your eldest child's school or near your working location.
Always choose the location that is nearest to you.
Save time and travelling journey.
Money too.
Arrange for a tingkat(food) delivery to your home so that your eldest child can have lunch after getting home from school.
It can be done. Just have to make sure that the timing is close enough to the school bus timing when your child get home.
That way, when your child reached home, he/she can just collect the food at the house gate.
For dinner, you/spouse can buy along the way home.
Always prepare extra groceries in the fridge so that in near future, you do not have to rush to buy stuffs on the way home after work.
It saves time.
Good luck😊😉
