Hi guys,
Completely new here but wondering if anyone can relate/advise. Myself and my H2B are looking to start a family soon. I am a self employed music teacher and teach instrumental lessons in my home and in a music shop nearby. My dilemma is I’m struggling to see how I will cope with a newborn baby and working. My other half doesn’t earn enough to cover all our expenses and obviously the maternity allowance is hardly enough money to make much of a help. The other issue of course is losing students through a period of not working. When the baby is here I won’t be able to have him/her with me whilst I work and I’m going to have to start working again extremely quickly after giving birth to get by it seems. Having a slight panic that I can’t start a family and keep my work. Any advice? Anyone been in a similar situation? How did you do it?
Thanks in advance...
