I am the opposite to Reality - I couldn't be further from being a bitter ex (despite not getting any maintanence off him) - I did say (twice I believe) that my situation is complicated.

Just out of interest - are you planning on jacking in your current job(s) to do the nannying?

oldraver · 12/02/2009 19:28

Understanding and support ??????????? how f***g dare you !! Where is your support, did you actually expect a well done for fighting tooth and nail with the CSA ? Did you expect us to join you in arms in the fight against the big bad CSA . You have not shown one shred of compassion for all the folks on this thread who have said how LITTLE they are getting. Its all woe is me.

Youve totally missed thepoint in your stubborness to see beyond yourself. Non of us are saying the CSA is wonderfull. But it does please me now to know they've done right by your DH's ex

ahappymummy · 12/02/2009 19:28

well yeah thats why im advertising!
what is this detective work you are trying faq,coz it aint working honey.i know im being honest so its just tough if you dont believe me.

FAQinglovely · 12/02/2009 19:29

wow part time nannying and evening babysitting must pay better than I thought

ahappymummy · 12/02/2009 19:29

old raver,im glad to know that you are in support of my husbands ex.

FAQinglovely · 12/02/2009 19:30

well - yes she is now getting the money to support her child that she should have had all along - it's not exactly rocket science - is it?

ahappymummy · 12/02/2009 19:31

faq,get a life.really.im trying to do as best i can to support my family,and if thats nannying and babysitting then thats what i do.

oldraver · 12/02/2009 19:32

Your the one NOT HAPPY thats stamping your feet like a toddler shouting "not fair, not fair" without putting forward a view to discuss, that you think would be fair despite being asked several times

FAQinglovely · 12/02/2009 19:32

I would have thought a proper full time job and perhaps an evening one would have paid better money that's all.

ahappymummy · 12/02/2009 19:33

im sorry is nannying not a proper full time job?

So your happy for someone to pay YOU to look after their child [hmm[

FAQinglovely · 12/02/2009 19:36

but you're not looking for full time work are you - you're advertising (a lot ) for part time nannying

FAQinglovely · 12/02/2009 19:41

just a thought - could you perhaps do child minding from home?

If you offered overnight care as well would increase earning potential.

oldraver · 12/02/2009 19:42

So whats the going rate YOU would charge for looking after a child 27/7 ?

oldraver · 12/02/2009 19:43

Or even 24/7
