What do you earn a month as a mum with young children?

[lilacsky89]

Just curious what is normal/average for a mum who works part time and has young children?

7 and 2 year old
780-950 pounds 4 weekly depending what over time I do.

@rolvus I'm a financial advocate in the charity sector (corporate appointeeship).

The more of these threads I see the more I believe that the demographic of Mumsnet is very skewed. It feels like a disproportionate number of Mumsnet contributor's are high earners. I've seen a few nothing take home income that would put them in the top 1%, given only 100 people have replied there should only be one if Mumsnet were an average. Or maybe its only the high earners who like to comment on these threads, naturally competitive (hence getting into a position where they can earn that much) so like to see how they compare.

Maybe you should ask for more help with the kids from your partner/husband.

Homemaker. 🤢

In the real world most parents working part time earn a lot less!

About £1300 two days a week

1.5k a month for 27.5 hours a week from home (school hours)

Before deductions, just under £7k. Work full time; I dropped down to PT when the kids were very young, but when my youngest was 9 months old I went back to FT.

I wanted a husband, not a second wife/mom with XY chromosomes. He brings resources (money) and deals with bills, taxes,... , make sure we're safe and have everything we need and leads while I raise and nurture our children and manage the domestic tasks, making sure everyone is happy, comfy and well fed with healthy and delicious meals, we couldn't be happier 😊

Around 6k. Officially contracted for 24 hours plus on-calls, in reality work 30-40 hours. Most of that's on my 3 working days per week but some is more "oh no, this needs you to come in / do this now!".

£3.5k a month after deductions

About £3.5k after deductions, 30 hours a week, WFH.

Don’t forget to divide by the bullshit factor though. Very easy to make shit up online.

Aye, everyone knows a bit of housework and childcare turns your dick into a vagina within a few days.

You ain’t raising children with this kind of horribly outdated, sexist and misogynistic attitude, you’re failing them.

I used to travel a lot with my job and have now taken a step back and am homebased now. I earned £60k before, now earn £40k full time.

leads while I raise and nurture our children

Leads? Where? Do you often get lost otherwise?

Wow. I think I've just about heard of everything now.

It doesn't make a man a less of a man to be a good father and actually parent his children.

I wanted a husband, not a second wife/mom with XY chromosomes

Give the way most men (based on threads on here) behave, I'd suggest two wives/mothers is actually of greater benefit to children and families as a whole.

In the main, woman get shit done, pull an 80% load in terms of childcare/housework/mental load whilst also working 50-100% of the hours outside the home their useless husbands do.

The relationships board on here would be like a stagnant pond if we all just ditched men and either swapped then for women or just found the odd spot of male entertainment once a month or so!

Work is equally divided according to their skill sets. Everyone's happy. What's the problem? If she likes a man who works hard and deals with the bills, why is that so bad? It's not hurting anyone.

It would be different if she was miserable and desperately wanted to work and her husband wanted to stay at home. But they both like this set up, so I really don't see the big deal..

39 hrs approx 2600 after tax

£3700 gross per month. Full time.

I work 30
Hours a week and after tax earn about £1600

About the same as this

Sexism is always a problem. I'd argue that it hurts society and can most definitely hurt people, especially if children are raised with those opinions.
