To stay at home and pack in my job.

[SafandKir]

I am a married mother of 4, my younger 2 have separate health conditions and the youngest regularly requires hospital treatment to aid this.

They are both entitled to DLA as it happens, I’ve not yet applied as I’m working.

I work 30 hours a week, my husband 45 and I’m really struggling to juggle this.

I love my job but I can’t help but feel I’m going to burn my self out and either be giving my children less than they deserve or making mistakes at my nob.

Aibu to stay home?

DLA depends on care needs rather than diagnosis. DLA is about the difficulties your kids have, not whether you work or not.
YANBU to stay at home if it makes life easier but I guess you have to think longer term also. Could the DLA pay for help in the home ( cleaner, gardener etc) thus freeing up your time to deal with the children ? Or would the extra money enable you to reduce your hours?

The care level for both meets criteria.
DLA for both would still be a significant drop in what my earnings are - however I feel that the stress of juggling this is worth the financial sacrifice.

You get DLA regardless of income or work, so apply ASAP. I think you're thinking of Carer's Allowance which you can get if the person you care for has high or middle rate DLA AND you care for them >30 hours a week AND your income is below a certain amount.

In regards to your question, you do what is right for you and your family. I gave up work, other parent carers I know see work as their refuge. X
