Right her goes will try and keep it short.
I have 4 DC and have been a SAHM for 8+ years. DC are 8, 6, 4 and 2, DS will start nursery next year so am thinking if something to do for me. My degree is science based and I had to move away for work but have since moved back so not an option to go back into that field.
DH works long hours with a long commute a,though can work one day a week from home, no family at all to help put with childcare.
I've always wanted to teach but to do this would be a FT intensive PGDE course quite a commute away, then a years probation full time then the chances of finding a job are slim. Temping wouldn't work as I could get childcare at the drop of a hat if needed.
The other thing I would like to do is nursery teacher, our local college does a course 2 years full time but in reality I think 3-4 days a week. If I to a job at the end not as well paid as teacher either.
Childcare wise mornings would be ok I could drop older 3 at school at 830 for breakfast club, the local college has a nursery attached, DS could go there 3 full time days. DH could do the nursery/school runs one day a week. That leaves 2 days after school, I don't think my course would be until 5 but I would still need someone to collect the girls, the after school bus/club is £7 per day per cold no matter if they are there 20 mins or 2 hours.
I want to do something, go back to work but is it just too impractical, am I kidding myself?
