I have 2 kids , 2 part time jobs. i am lucky i have managed to work my jobs around school.
But summer holidays are almost here and then it will all change. i will need to send the children to child care , again i have been lucky and i have good friends.
I f i was to send to children to a child care it would cost more than i was making.
I have 2 children too but they are younger - my son is 2 years 8 months and my daughter is 9 months. I run my business around them which often means working late at night but it is worth it if it means I don't have to send them both to full time childcare at a young age. Also wouldn't be worth my while financially.
2 kiddies, aged 7 and 4. no relatives nearby so I am the child care when they are not at school/nursery (ex hubby has them at weekends though so mustn't grumble!)
