I've got two very young children and have been on maternity leave for the past 18 months. My partner works full time and brings home a good wage. But recently I've started to feel like I'm trapped.
My SMP is put into the joint account in order to pay for the house and bills so I am left with no money to do anything with the children.
I can't drive so getting out and about is hard especially with no money.
Even on his days off I am left looking after the children, doing the shopping, cooking, cleaning and night feeds. Some weeks I don't leave the house all week.
I hate to say it but I hate being at home. I am due to go back to work soon but I know I will still be tackling everything I am now as well as 35hours a week at work.
What should I do?
