I am now working 21 hours for a lovely employerband I went back to work when my child was 10 months old prior to that I worked full time.
My daughter is at private nursery so.my salary is topped up as I get tax credit as the government will help you if you work. I don’t have any parents so I do everything on my own and am able to support my child and pay my mortgage. You will not get much money if you are not working.
My mum grafted too and had 3 jobs so I don’t mind as I only do 3 days which is brilliant. Everyone is different and people will rely on the government for handouts.
I like nice things and I want my daughter to know that the lovely things do not come free.
