'I'm on maternity leave but send my toddler to childminder - I don't feel guilty'

A mum who is currently on maternity leave says she doesn't feel "guilty" one bit for continuing to send her toddler to a childminder, remarking that their family home would collapse into "chaos" if she didn't.

According to this busy mum-of-two, she and her other half didn't even consider taking their eldest child out of the childminding facility, explaining that she'd end up losing her spot if they did.

Most importantly, the little girl loves is said to love playing all day with her friends, and the parents know she's getting far more "attention and stimulation" there than she would at home with her newborn sibling.
