Pregnancy termination

Think I’ve made a mistake

I’ve got a 3.5 year old and a 6 week old. I always wanted another baby. But I think I’ve made a mistake, I don’t know if I can do this anymore. I wake up feeling dread what the day ahead will bring. I can’t give both kids my full attention and I feel like I’m on edge all the time. Obviously I know I can’t go back in time and change it but I’m just hoping that it gets easier and more enjoyable soon.

Work & money

Universal credit

Morning, My husband has been moved within his company and they are now making him work over 3 hours away which means he is away from 4/5am in the morning and not back till after 6/7pm. For the last four years he has been in one area which was 7am - 4pm (we moved to be close to this site) so we have planned our working schedule around this. They aren't willing to move him back and aren't willing to reduce his hours. We can't make these new hours work due to my work and having four children. If he leaves his job will universal credit accept this reason or will he not be able to receive UC?

Work & money

Non refundable deposits from nursery

Just been reading about how the government have clarified that non-refundable deposits are not allowed by nurseries unless the child does not take up the space We’ve paid £100; £50 of which will be taken off bill and £50 “non refundable”. Has anyone had any joy getting this money back? Thanks in advance 🥰

Childcare

Child maintenance help

My ex pays me £350 a month on a near £50k salary. Out of that £350 I buy uniforms, pay for nursery/afterschool clubs etc and all the other costs of giving them a good life!

He tells me that the amount is correct as it’s off his ‘taxable income’ so his salary (the 50k) minus the first £12570 that you wouldn’t get taxed on….is this correct? I just do not feel like it is much and every single month I am struggling!

Help my sons ear.. Hey mamas, does this look familiar to anyone ?

My son has had this on his ear for a week or so, he says sometimes it itches when I first noticed it I asked and he said he fell over but this looks like nothing from a fall so just wondering if this looks familiar?
