Currently i'm a stay at home mum who is self employed with a few ''work from home'' businesses. I have five children who's ages range from 18, 16,15,12 and 11. The three youngest are still in secondary school .
My husband works between 40- 50 hours a week, including weekends, which means he's gone a lot of the time.
I'd like to return to work, and have worked over the years but have always had either myself or my husband as a stay at home parent. But now he is in a job he is progressing well in, he doesn't want to sacrifice this and also, he could earn far more money than i ever could.
My question is, what do other parents do with their children in the holidays if you have a job that requires you to work through out??? My youngest son has Autism so i wouldnt feel comfatable with him staying home even with his siblings. Grandparents on my side of the family all still have full time jobs and on my husbands side are a good 500 miles away...Not sure with 3 kids requiring supervision i could afford holiday clubs??? It's a toughie isn't it??
