Work around childcare

Hey girls, i’ve recently been made redundant and looking for work asap.
What is everyone doing that works around childcare? My little girl will be doing 3 full days at nursery but seems most part time jobs either require weekends or want you to do part time across 5 days a week!

We can’t afford to send my little girl to nursery 5 days, nor do i want her to.

I’m so stressed about trying to find something that works! I’m open to anything but have a background in admin.

Have you considered retraining as a childminder? Then you could look after your daughter and a couple of other little ones in your home. Childcare and a job in one 💚

Supermarkets tend to be quite flexible with days, I know a few people who work at Aldi and they work like 1 in 4 weekends and one day and the rest of the time they work their hours during the week

Husband things it's only HIS money.

Hello. I have one question. I am SAHM and my husband works earning around £4000 a month after tax. He gives me £600 every month to cover groceries and household items which normaly cost around £500 or £550. We have two children aged 5 years and 10 months. So nothing much left for my personal spending without me going back to him and asking him for more money, which is most of the time met with lots of questions and me feeling like a child asking a parent for pocket money. Like I need to be scared to buy anything without him judging me. I do not have access to his bank account and therefore to any family funds what we hold. So I am just asking if this is a normal standard situation for SAHMs or should I demand joint access to his accounts and equal right to spend? Obviouly with common sense. Every big purchase would need to be discussed. But me for example wanting to buy new clothes or in need of personal items without me going to him asking for "permission". What should I do? His opinion is that he works and it is his money. So what about me? Am I not doing enough don't deserve to feel like an equal partner? Don't I have any rights? How are you handling finances as SAHM ?

Starting solids opinions

Is anyone else struggling with the amount of comments and getting told what we should do for starting solids? my baby is 5 months and iv been getting told to feed him at 4 months. Everytime people visit now it’s “have you fed him yet” or “he needs food” I honestly think i’m going to stop visitors for a whole months

Baby dad destroying my things

I was done with him a few weeks ago he doesn’t see his child apart from maybe 1 hour on a Sunday occasionally he just demands everything back he ever got me the whole 4 years I knew him or pay him back all he got me was some clothes and a 1.2k car which I need to transport our daughter around
I said I’ll pay you back if you really need it )he doesn’t he makes 4 k months) everything else he ever got me was destroyed long ago after any argument we had by him

He said fine I’m not giving you any money for our child till you repay me 4k ) I am on universal credit and get 800 to live on)
Like that money is for our child… not me he’s so selfish
Anyway I work up today he came in the night to slash all my tyres and cut the battery off..
So i now have no car to take me daughter to appointments and nursery.
He’s so so selfish and evil I asked him why he did that he said it’s my car fuck you

Refusing solid foods

My 7 months old is not eating the solid foods I give him, he spits out everything. It's frustrating so I just stopped trying when he was still 6 months. Any suggestions I'm tired honestly.

When you’re having a chronic pain flare up and your husband refuses to adjust their energy and tries to interact with you the same way.

I’m going to lose my mind I woke up this morning at like a 7/10 pain scale and my husband flips all the lights on, plays music, is super chatty, and then gets offended when I’m like this is not me today I need to be quiet and be still and rest. Drives me nuts
