Kids behave better for those not emotionally invested. Did you say whether you had other kids? It seems full time childcare must be extremely expensive if you don't work and probably not good go the child. Could you use the money to employ in home help instead. It is a lot easier to be consistent etc if you have someone else there to back you up and if there are other kids to look after those. Even a few hours would help. A tired scratchy after care child is hard to manage and it means you have no routine to fall back on in the weekend. The daycare/work thing has resulted in a lot of probema in our house. Also you will yell and you will fail. Just pick yourself up and start again (think dieting)
