Can I have a personal post please? Looking for a bit of advice from people who have been in a similar position to myself. I am a single parent of two. I’m currently on maternity leave and I am starting to feel very anxious and stressed about going back to work. I have no support from the father, he lives in a foreign country. I have worked since I was 16 but I am now considering what my best option is. I currently work part time on a 24 hour contract. I do receive child tax working tax and child benefit.. help with childcare and also a council tax reduction. My issue and stress comes from am I going to be able to manage going back to work. I feel like I’m not emotionally ready to leave my kids as I have enjoyed spending time with them while on maternity leave and feel like I may struggle when I go back to work. I have tried twice now to contact my work with my availability on going back but they haven’t been very accomadating so far. I am still breastfeeding and can’t get my daughter to take a bottle so far so this is also causing me stress because if I can’t get her onto a bottle before June then I can’t go back on my normal hours of work…I don’t want to give up my job as I want to show my girls that working is what is normal and the best thing to do instead of just living on benefits. I want to set a good example and not just be another young mum statistic. Can anyone give me advice on how much I would roughly be looking at if I were to be a stay at home mum instead of going back to work for the foreseeable future? And can anyone give me advice on how they coped going back to work after having another baby that is breastfed and not taking a bottle. My oldest is attending school nursery and private nursery when I am at work. But I really don’t have any one else that can pick her up or take her to and from private nursery to school nursery. I worry about childcare and how my work will be effected by this. Please if anyone can help me out a little. Sitting here not knowing what the hell to do. Many thanks.
