Ok, I'll try to keep this simple and short.
I have 3 kids. 2 at school and one baby.
I went back to work a year ago. I've asked for more flexibility which was refused. I have a good job on paper but it is stressful (NHS)
Husband has a good, but poorly paid, public sector job. He's looking for a better paid role, he is on his way to a fairly well paid but he needs to complete his phd.
I feel like I'm permanently split in about a million ways, very much understand this is the norm and would probably persevere with career/ mumming /juggling but I'm finding my middle child's behaviour is becoming more and more challenging. Not sure if it's ADHD which runs in the family and she is far too young for diagnosis/ medication imho....and not sure I would seek this out anyway. I mention this because, my stressful job means my resilience is low furthermore I'm up feeding the youngest sometimes several times a night, making it much harder to cope with my child's aggressive emotional behaviour.
I can start building up a business but I have no time atmo to commit to this because of my job.
I'm aware there are zilch benefits for people like us. Just wondering who other SAHM mums have made this work and what was the deal breaker for you?
