Hi all.
I really need some help and advice.
My daughter is 18 months. When she was 7 months I returned to work from my maternity. We are foreigners living in the UK and we have zero childcare. No family, relatives etc to help.
I work full time 6am-2pm and my husband works 2pm-10pm. We literally swap outside the company's door. Our baby is so active and do bad at sleeping, we're so drained. But the problem is not how tired we feel but how we don't get to spend any time together as family.
We only have weekends where we can do things together. But I really feel so tired of being alone all day. At work I'm in my own office working 8 hours not really having time to socialise and at home is only me and my daughter. I feel we're missing out so many moments together. Even just having breakfast or lunch all together as a family.
Now, I'm thinking to resign.
But what about the bills? Obviously government says I can't claim benefits as my husband's wage is £27,000 per year which is high for them.
But everything has gone up.
Any other mum on the same situation? Living on single wage? How do you manage?
Should I stop?
Any advice, welcomed.
Thank you in advance xx
