Hey hope all is good. Your not the only one to feel this way I hope people sharing their experiences helps knowing that they can relate and u can relate to them

Its tough on your own. I have a little boy he is 5 he has become very hard to deal with this past year the tantrums get out of hand he hits and throws things but he does it with real purpose and intent. So everytime he doesn’t get own way he does same I’m trying to teach right and wrong and teach him that certain behaviours are not nice but he doesn’t seem to stop

So I’ve found it tough and lost my grandad last year it’s been hard for him and me and family very strained and upsetting.

I hope you are ok. How’s your year been so far hehe I know it’s only 5 days in but kids being off school feels a lifetime. My son was due back today but he had ear infection so he will go tomorrow for day and I need a rest as not feeling well myself

Hi of course it is you have to put your needs as important as the children. You all count. I regularly buy new things for myself but usually same time I will have bought something for my son or took him out or tea out so yeah it’s down to

[Gingey28]

What happened with regards to your ex. Was he made to pay up? I just don’t understand why people do this

[Gingey28]

Hi thanks for your reply

I haven’t made a decision and got a letter off child maintenance today saying he has missed a payment. Just recently been payed by them so not sure what this is but I wonder if he has started messing about. If he doesn’t pay they need to take action but when u speak to them on phone they say Nothing they can do if someone isn’t declaring earnings. Not very helpful to the receiving parent

 

There needs to be more done with regards self employed people getting away with it. I don’t believe him but he offers me £100 a month so what are child maintenance actually doing 🤔 gets on my nerves something I have to always think about whether I’ll get anything

I’m not so stupid to believe him but the service needs to back people up more. Seems they are too lenient

[Gingey28]

Hi yes sure

[Gingey28]

I agree with you all the amount we get is not a great deal especially today’s costs

I just need to speak to him see what greement he wants to offer but trust someone who doesn’t want to know his son. Not sure what’s best don’t want to ditch child maintenance on his word maybe need to ring them discuss this

Thanks everyone

Hi Steve

That was my thought just didn’t know if child maintenance would set up case again if stop using them

[Gingey28]

Hi here to chat anytime. Take care

[Gingey28]

Hi

Its great you set the group up hopefully can arrange something soon

Thanks

Hi hope your ok

I had doubts about my son going to nursery but when he was 2 I found one and wow its been an amazing 3 years. Im on universal credit too and wasn’t expected to work a lot till he was 3. I get 15 hours that’s everyone gets for 3 and 4 year old and if I work 16 or more hours a week I get the extra 15 hours free childcare on top. Although with my work and my low contract this has been tricky at times. I also put him in preschool the same days when it’s half term as it sages me taking time off or my mum helps but is a but much to have him all week as she has him Monday and Wednesday so he goes Tues Thurs and Friday. I pay the fees but claim 85% back off universal credit for half term

Just look into your entitlement and ask universal credit and say your concerns. Its tough as how they expect people to look after their children and work but they do

In terms of how it brings my son on I wouldn’t ever advise not sending them to nursery or preschool it is amazing. My son has a lot of friends and he learns a lot and it gets them ready for school and it isn’t such a shock to be away from you

I hope you are ok and honestly try it if you can financially and fit it around your week it really helps. My son Is in an independent setting so not attached to a school and he starts at 7.45am and finishes at 5.30pm so this allows me to work say 9 till 4 if he is in preschool but luckily my mum helps so I do longer days

It all works out its just taking that first step and making sure it is right for you both. Here if you need a chat or advice
