Hi all you lovely ladies is it just me that will be forking out £720 for my 9 year old boy's childcare over the 6 weeks summer holidays or is anybody else in the same position?
I have no family support whatsoever and my son's father has been disallowed access on his own with him owing to his recent violent conduct.
Is there anybody else out there also in the same boat that has to fork out way over the odds? I don't resent paying the childminder as such as my son is happy there and she does a very good job and he mixes with plenty of children and goes out a lot.
Needless to say I cannot afford a holiday as usual although I am hoping to go on a holiday next spring 2015 together but this will have to be saved for and will be hard to achieve. It needs to be done as I am sick of going nowhere bar a day out here and there to lighten up the schedule!
I am self-employed so if I do not work I can't earn so this is also a problem however it suits me very well to work for myself so I won't change this.
Just interested in anybody else's situation/predicament? Thanks for any shared insights/views everyone!
