Poor you.

I can really sympathise.DP is poorly and has been unable to work for a while.He cannot lift dd up so I now work 8-12 shifts after I put kids to bed in the evenings,as its the only option.

What do you do if you don't mind me asking,could your employers be flexible given the circumstances?

Perhaps when his back is better it won't seem so hard to him. You know when you are ill or in pain everything seems too hard.

Some childminders will do early mornings too.
