Being a lone parent I mean.
After spending the last 10 years being a SAHM, an old boss got in touch and there's a job for me if I want it. But, the problems...
- I have nobody to mind the children after school til I get home. 2 are disabled and childcare for them is non-existent.
- if I earn over £110 a week or do 16 hours+, I lose my Income Support, Carers Allowance, free school meals and council tax discount. It's not a high paid job so I'd be working for very little gain once I paid out the extra costs.
But I want to work. I need to work for my sanity. I get no maintenance from ex-h. He is banned from seeing the children by the court, none of my family can help (mum too frail. Sisters work full time). Aaaargghhh!!
I'm just kidding myself I can work aren't I?
