Hi, I'm a mum to 3 kiddos, age 10, 9 and 2. I'd like to ho back to work but dad is not willing to share half term. His explanation is that he always worked full time and hasn't got enough holiday days to cover half term and cant afford childcare. My argument would be that if I go back to work I'll be in the same position and expected to organise childcare and pay for it. I do have ambitions, I used to be an accountant and was doing ok. I'm not working atm until little one goes to school. I'm dreaming of owning a house but I get nowhere near making it a reality if I dont start working. I feel kids dad takes that chance from me which is so unfair. And for what? For this ridiculous old fashioned rule of women raising kids and men providing? But when I'm a single parent that makes me both doesent it? Another reason from him is that he doesent know any other blokes that take so much time off work to look after kids and if he has to use all his holiday allowance that will leave him with not time to have a break for himself. What about me? Am I the only mum with ambitions? Am I expecting to much? What's happening to the equality and being treated fair? I'm sorry if I sound like a selfish cow but seriously I feel like now all the responsibly of looking after kids falls on me and guys only want to fuck about with kids every two weeks, job done. Is anyone in a similar situation? HELP! Am I getting things totally wrong? I will appriciate all comments. Thank you
