Can I Work AND Look After My Young Children?

Others had a quite different experience and managed to survive the experience for a few years before finally realising that the weight of the mill stone around their neck was simply too great and it just wasn't worth dragging the kids to school every day, just to receive the standard telephone call every week or so saying that dear little Kevin was about to be sent home for the day because he had thrown a chair at a pupil in class. To make things worse, Kevin would be spending only mornings at school for the next week as punishment (???). Of course this sort of thing doesn't affect a working mum or dad at all because he or she can simply take unpaid leave and then return to work with absolutely no consequence.

This is of course until two weeks later a mystery bug decides to attack the whole family, rendering each person incapable of doing anything but moan and watch telly for a couple of days. No problem, you might say, but the thing with mystery bugs is that they don't attack everyone at once and get the job done quickly. Instead, they go for the systematic approach in which only one member of the family is afflicted at any one time. However, mystery bugs aren't all doom and gloom as they do allow a period of 48 hours between people. This just gives you enough time to go back to work, only to then have to spend the following weekend mopping up bodily fluids and doing without sleep, only to have to go back to work after the weekend as if nothing as ever happened.

There then is a period of reflection. It usually involves the back of a fag packet and a calculator and involves working out how much you actually have left from your wages after the tax man and your child minder have had their share. This is the point at which everything becomes clear! After having worked out that at the end of the week you have exactly �5 left, which wouldn't have been available if you hadn't worked, you decide to go to your local and purchase a couple of pints of beer. Working and having kids IS worth it after all.

An alternative to going through all this heartache and fuss could be to employ a nanny. Our jobs site advertises [http://www.nannytalent.com]london nanny jobs completely FREE of charge to help you on the way.
