Hi! This is my first time on this site so here goes. I have two great kids aged 4 and 1 and I do enjoy being a stay at home mum to them (most of the time!) But things are not too great finacially athe the mo. My partner works long hours and has suggested I get an eveing job (he recently got made redundant and his new job dosn't pay as much. I have asked about at the local 24 hour supermarkets and nothing is about. I dont drive so it needs to be local and my partner dosn't want me to work in a pub. (Typical)
I feel so helpless - I cant get a full time job as child care costs would exceed what I could earn (wasn't exactly career girl befor kids and stopped working at 22 when pregnant)Also my little one is v clingy and shy. To top it off my partner thinks I've got it so easy being at home with the kds all day but as you know it is the complete opposite. I feel so un apppreciated and useless and as if I'm trapped.
Could ramble on forever lots of other probs too. I just feel so worn down by it all.
Anyone feeling like me???
