Is your job a full-time job? Have you thought of changing to part-time job? I have many friends changed to part-time job (2-3 days a week) after they have kids. They are all quite enjoying it ..you know...you get abit of social connection at work and you can still manage to do some housework/ cooking at home. Maybe you can discuss with your boss and see if it's possible?
I must say i cant stand to be a ftm coz it is too hard for me to stay home by myself. I enjoy working 2-3 days a week so my kids can go to childcare and socialise with other kids while I can socialise with my collegues also earn tiny bit of money ($salary - $tax - $travel - $lunch - $childcare)
While I am not working, I still have time to take them to the park, play group, shopping etc.
I worked really hard when I was doing full time and make my boss think it is "SO CHEAP" so hire me 3 days haha... this is how i can my 3 days a week job.
