DH and I both currently work full time, M-F, with B in daycare 9.5 hours a day. It kills me some days to drop him off and I often worry about the amount of attention he gets while he's there. Unfortunately our finances do not allow for much else right now. A potential solution popped in my head yesterday but I'm internally torn about it. The plan is to switch schedules with a coworker putting me at 64 hours instead of 80, letting me keep benefits. B would only have to go to daycare 2 days/week. I'd be making a little less money but it's not that much overall. My schedule would be alternating as follows

Fri - 730a-4p Fri - 730a-4p
Sat - 3p-1130p Sat - 630p-3p
Sun - 3p-1130p Sun - 11a-730P
Mon - 730a-4p Mon - 730a-4p
Tues, Wed, Thurs - off

I need to decide if sacrificing our family time on weekends is worth being able to be home with him more. I briefly ran it by DH and without too much thought he was worried about having time to do house stuff and taking care of him all day without me. I have plenty of my own reservations but it does have it's positives. The biggest for me besides more time with B is it would certainly help with the possibility of having another child in the future. As things are now, I don't think we realistically could afford 2 LO's in daycare full time.

If you were in my spot - what would you pick? And if you work something similar already, any tips on how it works for your family would be greatly appreciated.
