Single parent of 4 including babies, full time job?

[ncqtime]

Is it realistic to think I might be able to hold down a full time job with four children? I currently have three DC including a one year old and am pregnant with number 4. Dad of 3 and expected 4 walked out today. I am a low earner and family are abroad. DC 1 and 2 dad is around and has many hours per week with them but is an awful person. Only one good friend who has a busy life. Very tired already with this pregnancy to the point that social interaction becomes embarrassingly difficult, and that was with partner support around. Not sure how I'm gonna find the energy to singlehandedly run a household as well as be pregnant and have a full time job. How do you find the energy? Was proud of finally holding down a job... Gonna have to pack it in aren't I?

So sorry, what shit timing .

To be honest, yes I think you will struggle to work full time without much support from their fathers.

I work full time in a job with a lot of flexibility, have a 7 and an 8 year old, and my ex is really supportive and shares school run etc. And I still find it tough. Doable, but tough.

With 2 of yours being very little, I would aim to work part time if I were you, at least until they are a bit older.

Sorry, probably not what you want to hear, and just my opinion.

Theroadtohell1 thank you I appreciate your opinion that's what I'm here for I need to hear opinions. I have form for ploughing on through when really I should have given up.
He was our childcare and he's now presumably staying at a friend's and will need to start working again soon to keep a roof over his head. Trying desperately to find a childminder and a way to pay for them.

Depends if you have money for childcare or not.

It boils down to money, check your finances and any benefits.

I have three and really struggled I now do full time school hours. The money is crap but I save a fortune on child care but having no support means I struggle when they are ill.

Thanks all

I wouldn’t be able to do it. I’ve been single since my youngest was 5 months and I have two children. I work part- time but I found it a real struggle with lack of sleep, sickness etc until my youngest was at school. I only stuck it out because it was a career I didn’t want to lose and I knew I wouldn’t be able to pick up another part time job on that salary locally at a later date, also I had a mortgage to pay. If I’d been renting and in a job I could pick up again later I would have quit as I’m sure for me it would have been the easier option.

Unlikely I'm afraid. I've struggled with just two and a PT job for a decade.
The lack of sleep and constant illnesses in the early years are a killer. There's never time to catch up.
