Not an AIBU but I'm in a right state and just needed somewhere to come to cry basically
I'm a single mum to a 3 year old, expecting a baby in April too.
Won't be getting maternity pay as haven't been in my current job long enough, so saved up lots of money and I also get a student loan.
Have just found out my 3 YO will no longer be eligible for 30 hours free childcare once I finish at work.
I'm absolutely heartbroken cannot stop crying. I just presumed he'd continue to get 30 hours free I had no idea that you had to be in employment. Feeling like an idiot. A very poor idiot. No idea what to do. (Was planning on staying at uni after baby was born, taking baby in with me when I could and 3YO going to nursery. But now I can't afford for him to go to nursery, but if I can't go to uni I won't get a student loan which means I have no money. I know a few people who take babies into classes but I couldn't take my 3YO that wouldn't be fair on anyone.)
What am I going to do
