Hey ladies haven't been on in a while am working full time, caring for my babies and sleeping the rest! hope everyone is getting on well and little ones look so cute in pics I'm seeing on here when I get a sec.
I went back to work when izzy was 6months due to money I am the main bread winner my partner reduced his hours to part time and works four days a week opposite to my work pattern so unfortunately no time together with all of us. Two days a week was covered by grandparents . We cannot afford childcare as it is more than what we would earn! we r not entitled to anything other than child benefit! And money situation is now awful! one grandparent can't do one of the days and my partner may be going self employed in couple months where his pay will match mine but it will be 7 days a week to start with so I will need to drop days to look after babies which I can't wait for to spend more time with them. Has anyone had to drop work completely because can't afford childcare? If so what r u then entitled to? Outgoings are high mainly rent n bills as privately renting! any advice would be appreciated as battling with conscience that I'm not home but can't afford to me not work but can't afford childcare feel sooo stuck an low about it all x
