So here's a lovely maths example to throw the V's at the government & my boss!
It's going to cost me £45 a day to put Lydia in the same nursery that I work at.
I am on minimum wage at £6.50 an hour, which will pay me £65 a day!
Typically I will be leaving work with £20 a day!
I really don't want to claim any benefits, but I also wouldn't survive without them! 😭😭😢
Same here @shannon391 I'm only doing 3 days due to the costs and not wanting to loose out on too much time with baba :( xx
Believe me I'd happily stay at home with my little on and spend every minute but it's not possible bills don't pay themselves I'm afraid 😢 us moms work bloody hard! @lydiasmomma xx
It's ridiculous! But atleast we can say we work & deserve what we are given to support us @shannon391 💚xx
It's horrid for those who work are always worse off, I'll be the same when I go back to work, having a pay for private childcare as I'm not entitled to anything.. will be looking around £200 a month for my little one 😢
Luckily my ex partner promised to financially support me until I went back to work. But now that I'm back he's quit his job and moved on.
I've had to enter all my details into the benefit calculator and apply for forms to be sent to me 😥 we live in such a vicious world! x
I'm asking for my hours to be done in 4 days instead of 5 and hopefully, me and my OH work at the same place to would like to think they will try and help us out knowing how hard to going to be @lydiasmomma xx
