My last job was very flexible and a lovely family owned business that I worked with since before I had my daughter.
My new job is your standard 40 hour week where u are just a number on a time sheet.
It wasn't too bad with my little girl in school as I could avail of the after school club but now it's the first day of summer holidays and my sister has told me she can't help out anymore. That's totally understandable she had her own kids to look after.
I have to ring in sick tomorrow and come up with a plan fast but how? I'm not left with enough money at the end of the week to cover more than one day at a childminders and my mum works every morning till twelve if I quit my job due to lack of childcare I doubt I would get any help at least not to begin with and I have nowhere to go if I can't pay my rent.
How do other people manage ? It all seems so impossible right now
