Brill, now I feel dead lazy!  What sort of care are the kids in?  Does anyone else help you guys with their general care on a weekly basis?  If we had family nearby, I would rather pay them a little bit and get them to care for Jay, unfortunately ours are all in impractical places, as is my only friend who would be able to look after him.

Hi there. Well I have joined the group but I am also a member of working parents which is a group here too mind you it hasn't been visited for a while. I am a mum of teenagers and I work as a carer (in-home care) and look after young kids. I do have some say in the hours I work but I know what you mean by exhausted. My kids being older though does mean I slept in this morning.! Sorry

I'm surprised there wasn't one also

As with lightbee I'm a single working mum and studying as well.  I hope this group takes off! I hate having to work but on my income (when not working) it's just about impossible to stay home.  I was having to get food vouchers sometimes, had no phone or internet, had no computer even and was renting one bedroom for the 2 of us.  It just wasn't working out well.  So it was off to work for me, and off to daycare for my poor little angel.  I still think she deserves to be at home with me, but she didn't deserve the life we were living.  I got a year and a half with her at least before working part-time.

Hi there!

Welcome to Minti by the way!  No - you're definitely not the only working mum.  I'm a single mum and I work full-time.  Whether by necessity or choice its hard to say.  I really enjoy my job but I also usually enjoy time off with the kids so which is better?  I'm also studying so I definitely know what its like to juggle competing priorities!

Looking forward to the group!
