AIBU to think that once you have paid your childcare, its not really worth working.? Is it that you just don`t want to look after your own kid. prefering to stick them in daycare as soon as the shine wears off, it really bugs me!

[discusturd]

Some go from 7-6 and never see there parents, I know I will get slated but in the nursery I work some kids hardly know who their parents are.

oooh, full moon was last night; you're a day too late love

agree with fabio though, some wohm feel guilty enough at having to go back to work without being confronted with shit like this from the so called carers they will be leaving their children with.

No, I don't underline my name IRL, and I don't feel vulnerable, more slightly uncomfortable, like I've hung up the phone without saying "good bye" or something, but I'll stick with it, poke me if I slip up would you?

Please don;t feel you all have to explain your situation to justify going to work and leaving your children in childcare (which a lot of us have to, for different reasons, including myself) It's nobody's business but your own. You certainly don't have to explain yourself to this infantile troll.

The OP is a judgemental arse who obviously spends too much of their time reading the Daily Mail and wishes to beat all working mothers with a stick and blame them for decaying society.

Now, discustard, bugger off and have a pot noodle and a wank, there's a dear.

discusturd how magnamimous of you to grant dispensation to pt parents working parents

gosh did you struggle to differentiate between the awful pt working parents whose dc shine is bit dull now and the really awful ft working shine?what shine its positively bleak for teir dc

i just love your self appointed morality to judge other's but get humpy when someone comes right back at you

so yes stella has a valid point

If the OP is aroused by Pot Noodle things are far worse than we thought.

Maybe you need a better paid job - guess if you have a low paid, dead end job then financially no its not worth it. I on the other hand have a great career so yes it is worth it.

Ah yes, I see you do have a low paid, dead end job.

Op - I take it if you work All day in a nursery you don't have your own kids otherwise how could you have possibly have written your post, and if you don't have kids how can you possibly comment on the reasons a parent might put their children in a nursery.

my fulfilling career means i can dump lo at nursery and buy as many pot noodles as i fancy

I am considerably richer the yaow, discustard

discusturd - if you are really a nursery worker then I sincerely hope you are not responsible for teaching any of your charges the basics of the English language.

Anyway, if fulfilled, happy people like me, didn't abandon our children all day, I am guessing that you wouldn't have a job, and so would have nothing to complain about......

lol Sheiky

Is that financially, intellectually, morally....?

i reckon Sheik means filthy filthy mula.

YABU as each to their own. I know only one boy out of DC class who is in childcare all day every day, most WOHM I know work p/t around their kids. I choose to SAH but hve worked and used nursery f/t, wasn't for me but up to each family.

I think the OP is very misguided. She has no idea what it is like to have to juggle work and child care whilst maintaining a little sanity! I work part time and use a nursery for my youngest, and I truly hope that you are not one of her carers.

I would suggest that you go away, and come back when you have children of your own, and are performing the same juggling act that many posters on here do every day. You have made a sweeping generalisation on a subject you clearly know nothing about.

OP YABU and judgemental...........

Right back from bathing the baby - he is now shiny thanks to this

FFFF - you are being reasonable. It all comes down to whether you and your dp can manage on one salary or whether 2 salaries minus childcare cost allows you to pay the bills.
Since DH and I are paid about the same, in fact I'm paid a bit more, it is worth me going back to work. We did the figures for me reducing my hours, but the childcare reduction was not as much as my loss in salary, so the less hours I did the worse off we became - so for now I'll be going back full time until things improve for us so that I can reduce my hours.

oh no, people are taking it seriously again now!

I much preferred it when we were comparing notes on how to get a high shine finish and assessing our parenting skills and maternal dedication based on number of hours spent consecutively with our children and no IRL contact with other adults.

I almost signed my name then!

Monkies, I only posted a little seriously as the op made me angry!! Your posts earlier in the thread did actually make me laugh as I was reading them, but I just couldn't ignore the op's total ignorance!

DO NOT EXPLAIN YOURSELF TO THE OP. There is no need. They wouldn't understand your reasons anyway.

Take the piss instead. It's more fun

I really want a Pot Noodle now.
But not a wank.

Well I was explaining myself to FFFF - not Discusturd.

Do you think that he/she was unable to spell disgusted?

Mammyjo,

It made me angry too, it's such a nasty thing to Troll about, not a "light" subject at all. Once I'd vented my fury at the OP I began to enjoy myself (and as a result my children aren't it bed yet! )

Oh god no, please don't anyone take the OP seriously!
OP has now gone very quiet, so I reckon you're right, Sheik, (s)he's beating the meat right now.
