I was looking into going back to work full time. My dd is 4 and now in full time school. Ds is one and would need to be at Cm full time like 12 hours a day! Also dd would need to be picked up from school by cm. So after both childcare costs and petrol to and from work would mean i'm working for like £2 an hour.
I can't seem to find any high paid jobs that I am qualified to do. I may as well stay at home with my children but feel useless to my dh as he works all hours under the sun.

Is it true the more hours you both work the less tax credits you get? we would both be doing 40 hrs a week.

Would working during school hours only (no childcare for your eldest and more time at home) be any better?

What were you doing before you had your children - is it flexible enough to work part-time?
