I currently work fri and sat nights in a busy badly run resturant. Had an interview last Friday for a full time job, min wage, ok job. Should hear back tomorrow, probably havnt got it anyway but after doing as many different scenarios with different shifts, different types of childcare etc for 2 school age kids and 1 playschool age kids I have come to the conclusion that
I won't be bringing home any more than I am now
Weekends will be spent doing swimming lessons, ballet, reading, maths homework, etc that we currently do after school
Kids will not be ablt to have playdates
Weekends will also be spent cleaning, batch cooking, popping to bank/post office/buying birthday presents etc etc that I currently do in the week
Will need to use up lots of holiday for attending patents meetings, school plays, playschool days out where parents are needed to take them, kids illness, consultant appts, physio appts, inset days, sports days etc etc
School holidays are going to be a nightmare to sort out care for for school age kids
I just don't see how people do it? Do they have much better paid jobs so can afford cleaners/ nannies to do it all for them?
