What do I do if I can’t go back to work
I’m actually doing my first week back at work and it’s already a nightmare. I live in wales so don’t get any free childcare. I feel like I actually can’t go back to work. It’s too expensive to put both my kids in nursery and I currently have mine and my partners mums doing a day each of childminding.
Both parents are already facing challenges doing their day due to both having their own business and personal issues.
If I quit my job, could I go on UC? My partner just has a standard job.
Anyone else experiencing this?

For universal credit your not expected to work until the child is three years old I believe :)
Uc should be able to top up depending on how much partner earns but they do also help with up to 85% of child care costs here in the uk not sure about wales
It’ll depend on how much your husband earns as if I didn’t want to return back to work I’d get no help from them as my partner earns too much x
