Why does every mum do for work if you work from home ?

I'm a SAHM because my corporate job required full time hours... this would mean seeing my toddler all of about 2 hours (if that) in the evening while cooking/eating and bath time. Is it even possible to have a balance when you do actually get quality time with your toddler if you work full time?

I think I’m being charged wrong, either that or I just don’t understand how the funding works. So my daughter does 28.5hrs per week at nursery (3x days - 8am-5.30pm) funding is capped at 6hrs per day. My daily fee (before funding) is £118.00 Including funding, I am paying £254 per week. I make that £84ish per d...

I have been a SAHM for the past 3 years and will be for another 3 years until our youngest starts preschool. I do not wish to go back into my old line of work: retail operations and would like to train in something new. If I could do remote online training, 3 years is a good amount of time to start a qualification i...

Can I get the 15 hours free childcare if I’m due to go on maternity leave shortly after my boy would start nursery? Or is it just for working parents

Anyone else thinking about not returning to work after seeing nursery costs?! Nurseries are averaging £2000 even with the 15 hrs free if we want baby there 5 days a week so my husband and I can work. We don’t have any family or friend that can help us with babysitting. That would mean one of us would have to giv...

My bd hasn’t been sending me any money. He did when he first started then stopped. His mom said that Amazon drivers don’t get paid that much does anyone know how much they get paid? Thanks.

What are we doing for income as a stay at home mom? My husband gives me what he can for money but it’s never really a lot, because well we don’t have a lot. I really hate having to ask him for money because I’m so used to being able to make my own. I haven’t had a job since August and I’m now almost 3 weeks postpart...

Hi mamas! I’m not returning to work until September so I have plenty of time to figure this out but just wondering what people’s plans are with returning to work? My husband works crazy long hours so I am the only one that can do drop off and pick up from childcare but will only have childcare for a max of 3 days pe...

Need some opinions from other people and a bit of a confidence boost. I am a stay at home mum and my little one starts nursery soon. On the days he goes to nursery I ideally need to start working to start earning some more money however I have no idea what career I want to do as all I wanted to do in life is be a mu...

Which do you guys think is harder; being a SAHM or being a working mom? I am so sad about having to go back to work because of leaving baby but I personally feel it’s just as hard to stay home as it is to go to work. I also have two dogs in a tiny townhome so I think that adds to it 🤣 no right or wrong answers,…

What are you mamas doing for work? My baby is one year old & I don’t want to put him into a daycare cause I am new to the area & don’t really know anyone but we’re desperate for money. I’ve checked indeed & all that is on there is “call centers”. Doesn’t work when having a Velcro toddler now. 😄

Help please! Can someone please explain isa, bonds, regular bank saving account to me please. I was going to open one up with NatWest, but everyone tells me no, interest rate is very low there.
