Long story short, I'm an NNEB (relevant nanny/nursery-nurse training) qualified, CRB (enhanced police check) first aid and lifesavers, non-smoker, driver,13 yrs childcare experience, twins, newborns, 0-13 age range, disabled or whatever is p/c to call it these days.
Had my dd in April, left studying Midwifery in uni to be a mum for the first time. Have no regrets.
But for gods sake why am I being penalsied by other women (mothers), we all moan about how we're pooh-poohed about our jobs as majority sole charge care giver to our children, yet because i have my own child i'm expected to be a teenager again and live on pennies after working a 10-12 day just because i have to take my dd with me, i am a professional person, i dont give more time or attention to my dd, i'm actually quite pleased that she has to share me, as she's with me every waking moment, i have no family, parents decesed and my dp parents are in another country, i'm not complaining but its so difficult.
Most mothers simply wont have anyone with their own child, or the ones that will, want to pay you the same as the 13 year old babysitter.
I'm so cheesed off with it, cant afford to leave her with anyone, cant seem to take her with me, shall i just crawl under a rock?
New mothers are the bloody worst, wait til they have had 2 and 3 they'll blooming leave the children with the postman.
Arrrrgh
