[Constantstar]

Sorry guys warning this is a feeling sorry for myself post
My mum looking after my son until April when she goes back to her holiday home abroad. she has been unwell and had lots of tests and we went to see consultant. She has Colon cancer. I'm
Absolutely devisated as she is like my best friend. Also we are now trying to sort nursery out for Owen with no money. Nursery is £980 a month and gov will give us about £500 so we have to magic up £500 a month from thin air?? I mean I only earn £1000 a month ?! It's redicolous I dunno what I'm going to do. I've also just started UNi doing night study and dunno if I can continue now. my oh is crap and unhelpful.

Wow nursery feees are soo expensive im not looking forward to looking into this... is there a cheaper nursery or is a childminder cheaper x

Hunni I'm really so sorry to hear about your Mum. Is she able to have any treatment to help combat it?

Childcare fees are so expensive! I personally think that it would be better for the government to provide free childcare places for working parents and scrap the tax credits.

Hope you're okay hun xx

So sorry to hear about your mum, wishing her a speedy recovery.
I feel your pain re; childcare, working mums are all penalised in this way and its such an unfair situation. Most of my money goes on childcare too.
I hope you find a solution, I know how stressful it is x
