If you’re entitled to 15h funding at 2yo, and you only use those 15h 38 weeks of the year (or some do less hours spread over 52 weeks) then that’s the only way to not pay anything- even then some nurseries charge extra for things like meals or nappies etc.
I don’t think you’re likely to find it for free.

From April they're introducing 30hrs for 2 years if entitled. We don't know what that entails yet though. It's very unlikely that a nursery will be fully free as like Chloe said they tend to charge for meals and ask you to provide nappies. Some may request a packed lunch but a lot offer meals so the children have the same unless they have dietary requirements. You tend to find children eat food at nursery that they refuse at home, possibly as they see other children eat the same meals.

The nursery I'm putting my girl in when she turns 2 in April does funding for 2 year olds, I'm sure most do it, I guess you could just ring them up, I think it's something like £2.50 for her meals tho if I don't send her in with a packed lunch

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

Identity crisis?

Am I the only sahm who feels like they have lost their identity??? I don’t make money for my family, when I used to make great money. But I refuse to drop my under a year old baby off with strangers.
My husband works so much. But I have no control over bringing in money and I’m a control freak type of person! I feel l like I’m losing my grip because we are kind of broke, but day care would only eat up my income anyways! So what’s the point. I’m a workaholic and now I’m just a twitching bum.
I wish I could work from home but so far that’s a fake dream. I’m almost 9 months pp, and I just need to know these awful mood swings and depression will end soon! Send wine!

Daycare?

Thoughts on daycare?? Truly, I am SCARED to be leaving my kid for daycare. I literally do not trust anyone, not even family (they haven’t given me a reason it’s just trust issues on my end, you never know). He’s turning 3 and I’ve been a sahm the whole time but tbh my man doesn’t make enough for us to move out somewhere more calm . We live in a ‘not so safe’ area in LA and I’m just not used to living here so I just want us to give my son a better life and in order to speed up the process I would have to work.. I do lashes at home and I’d be open to take new clients so I wouldn’t have to look for work but I’m just scared to lose my license 😭
