Hello mumsnet
It’s all gone a bit wrong.
We are living in the countryside and working in Bristol. Been here a year and absolutely living our best lives and loving our house and our village and everything. Country life is great.
We are so pleased that we have started trying for a family. So far so good.
However, this new job I have just started - turns out - not so great.
In fact it’s dreadful. Horrible data entry with massively stressful deadlines and a miserable team doing ridiculous overtime.
I’m also slowly realising that our commute of over an hour is not going to work when we are suddenly plus one. And if I get pregnant now I will have to go back to the horrible job in Bristol after my mat leave - or pay it all back. We can’t afford it!
Looking for local jobs and it’s frankly scraping the barrel compared to city jobs. Really dire employment situation. I also still can’t drive (and not for lack of trying either!)
So now - halting on baby plans, but prospects of leaving current job bleak and feeling like there’s no feasible means of escape from it.
Suddenly looking round our village and realising all the women are stay at home yummy mummies or wealthy pensioners.
Help?!?
Please tell me someone else has had this issue! What can I do!
