I last worked just under three years ago, I'm tearing my hair out at home and cannot bear the lack of financial independence I'm currently experiencing and the tedium of being at home. I have two lovely children and don't plan to have anymore but I just don't know what to do work wise, I also have literally no-one to help me look after them. So getting started would be tough. My evenings aren't really free either as after the DC go to bed I have lots of chores and can only ever sit down at about 10pm. Our house is big and overwhelming.
My DH works very long hours and is rarely around - he works six days a week and although self-employed has no flexibility. He earns loads more than I ever will but I feel everything is his rather than ours (his money, his house, his furniture etc). It's soul-destroying. I used to work in communications but if I have to work with powerpoint or excel I might just hurl myself off the nearest building.
What do you think I should do?
