Hi everyone
im a single mum of a 4 month old girl. I am on maternity leave at the minute and live with parents. I’ve never lived on my own before. Working FT, I earn around 28k a year.
my question is, would I be better off working part time and what kind of government assistance could I get? My worry with full time is less government help and nursery fees. Advice please? I want to move out also so I am aiming this question really at single mums who live alone (with their kids of course)
disclaimer - I’ve always worked since leaving school over 10 years ago so working part time is def nothing to do with being lazy. Also never claimed help in my life. I just want to be the best off financially as I can be. Please - no judgements, I’m asking for help x
