No I wouldnt. My children have always been far more important than money to me.

I feel that's rather harsh. My little boy goes to nursery full time v=because i have to go to work - we've no choice financially!

I wouldn't now. I did with my son (who is 13 now), I worked for a year and regretted it. I would leave the house at 730-8am and by the time I had picked him up and get home it was 6-7pm and he was ready for bed. You cannot buy memories, you have to make them. That involves time and not money, but also i know that sometimes needs must.

Would you not consider childminding fro home? I don't know if that has already been asked?

Hiya

My daughter is 4 and shes gone to nursery since 5 months and some times she would rather be there than at home with me. My son whos 6 1/2 months has just started at the same place and hope he loves it as much as her.

On another note has anyone appealed against the WFTC i was overpaid in 2003 -04 then 2004-05 and dont believe its my error, Any help would be appreciated.

If you can work at the nursery, and your children can go there too, it sounds like an ideal situation to me, best of both worlds. I think children thrive being around other children to develop their social interaction skills. It's about quality time with your children. I know people who are at home all day with their kids, and are miserable because they need adult interaction as well. They have quantity time but not quality time. That can't be good either. I guess it's a very personal choice though.

Apparently I'd be in the baby/toddler room so I would be with K all the time and with Ashli until there was room to move her up to the older room but I'd be in the same building the whole time and would just be in different rooms.

If this was the case, then yes I would go for the job. You get to spend lots of time with Kaitlyn, and with Ashli for the time being. You can still pop in and out when Ashli moves up a "class" and I think the kids get the best of both worlds - Mum around almost all the time and the social interaction with other children.

Also, just because you go for the job and perhaps are offered it, does not mean to say that you have to stay there if you feel that it is not working out for your family.

(PS I haven't read the entire thread yet, so may be way behind on current events!!)

Personally I say go for it at the end of the day you will be working in order for a better future for you babies. If you are going to be working in the same nursery then you will at least still be in the same building. Go for it, at least give it a go. :j

Thats exactly what I was going to say

IA if you do go back to work ,it doesnt mean that money means more to you than your children :rolleyes: <sigh>

Not everyone can afford to be a SAHM

If you need the money then go for it :T
