I was asked at my interview how I'd cope with my kids being so young (they'll be 2 years and 7 months when I start), with regard to shift work etc.

I was honest and said that it would be difficult, but my husband is already a shiftworker and my mum is retired so between us all my boys will get plenty of love and affection, so I'm not worried about it not all coming from me.

Personally, I believe that I will appreciate my quality time with my sons a lot more when I'm not at home all day every day. Just be honest and I'm sure you'll be fine; good luck! X
