Hi everyone

I don’t want to look after my kids anymore…

They’re 2.5 and 3.5 and I’m just done with the running around, playing with them / entertaining them constantly as soon as they wake up to when they sleep.

I feel like I’m just bored of them now. Does anyone else feel the same?

Obviously I love them

Not happy with babies nursery

So my baby officially starts nursery on 1st July and is currently doing settling in sessions which is fine. My annoyance comes with the funded hours and awful communications from their office.

So I did all the right things and returned to work on 31st April and stretch my annual leave so that I could get my code ready for the summer term. I then saw on here that you need to check you can still use said code if you do not start at the beginning of the term as some local authorities are awkward. After months of leaving phone messages and emails I never got an answer so asked in person at my babies first settling in session last week.

I was reassured that my code was fine and could be used. Fast forward to this morning and I get my first invoice and lo and behold they have not included any funded hours and want to charge me £800.

This is devastating for us financially and will logically mean I’ll have to pay this for both July and August. (Obvs I will use the tax free childcare account but that still means paying over £600)

I am so annoyed. I asked this question so many times. I may as well have stayed off work the extra month if I had known then would have only had to pay it for August. I’ve maxed out my annual leave so can’t stay off now and will likely have to eat the cost.

I will of course ring them as soon as they open I’m just so annoyed by the lack of communication on this it’s making me not want to send my boy there.

I know no one can help here just needed a rant

Digital marketing affiliates

I keep getting ads that pop up on Instagram for SAHMs and how it’s an amazing way to earn an income during MAT leave and some women have even quit their 9-5 jobs because they’re making so much money doing this. Is it all bullshit? How can you be making thousands of pounds just be people clicking on your ad links in such short times Then they say you don’t need a large following. So how? Just seems too good to be true but they keep trying to sell it as something genuine so you can stay at home with your baby and never work a a 9-5 again..

Mil buying Father’s Day present

So my mil brought my husband Father’s Day gifts from the kids.

I did find it strange and had a moment to myself thinking why? It’s not really your place. I mean don’t get me wrong it was a personalised top and mug so it was only small.
What are your thoughts? Am I over thinking.
