Night Wiggler :)

I have been thinking lately about a career change i have a few qualifications only NVQ's but probs enough to get me into nurses training or midwifery i just don't know if i could juggle the training with 3 kids & handle the responsibility at the end??
I just know one of us needs to step our game up & earn better money as i want a nice big house for the children to grow up in & this 2 bed mid terrace is just not doing it for me lol!
& hubby won't ever train to better himself so i either need to step up or with the lottery

When i picture the kids being older i see us having a games room for them to bring their friends to & a nice big house but i suppose that's everybodies dream?
I've been in some lush houses lately both just nice big 4 bedders you would have thought i was in a mansion the way i was walking around admiring them haha :)
 
Good luck ntnp Inge:flower:

Wud, I want a giant mansion too:thumbup: I think its a great idea getting into nursing or midwifery, I'm sure you'll manage but you wont know till you try:winkwink:
 
I had considered midwifery- I come from a long long line of midwives- but I know that it would destroy me emotionally if I lost a baby :cry:
 
Mummy, is your DH ever yaps on about you going back to work (Not that I think he's the type :thumbup: ) Refer him to this page- Add on top of those costs that you have at least one special needs child, which raises the cost quite a bit. They might consider Anja and Eilidh special needs as well, depending on the center.

Wiggler- it is NOT cheap here, to be sure, and we have x2 :wacko: If we lived in a better place for it I would get my license back to do in home care and take on a couple of kids when the girls were a bit older- As is I am considering either going back to teaching pre-school (Nursery age) when they start full school in 4 years, or possibly doing before and after care for a couple other kids. I am considering an entire career redirection just to be at home with them :cloud9: I don't want to miss a single second!
 
Childcare costs are the EXACT reason why I stayed home. $1200 per month per child. We really struggled when I headed out on placement with being able to afford childcare. Remember, our income was only between $2400 and $2800 a month, so we would have been paying $2400 a month. We ended up finding a home daycare who charged us only $125 a week for two kids full-time. And that daycare was AWESOME!! The kids LOVED it and were heartbroken when we pulled them out of there

Sorry, can't remember anything else except Wiggler going to bed.
 
Thanks heyy, are those costs yearly? I'm thinking it would easily be 2-3k a month for my kids:wacko: Thankfully he's very adamant I stay home so dont have to worry about that now. Were'nt you thinking of doing legal studies too hun? Hope you find a way to work and be home:flower:

Brandi you had a great deal there!!
 
Yeah- that's yearly- so you have 3 under 4, so 27,000+ a year without taking the special needs into account! Plus Freya, so another $6k so... over $3000 a month?

ETA-
Yes, I was in law school until last January and was hoping to start taking classes again this summer. Now we are reconsidering out options
 
Thats just crazy, thats almost a whole wage! I have a degree I'm never going to use I think, it seems such a waste but there's no way of justifying those costs. If you're changing from law can you swap your credits to another course?
 
Some of them- Not sure if I'll bother with it though- if we decide I'm just going to do in home child care I don't need to go back- I have an AA in Child Development, have been a pre-school teacher and a professional nanny, and have raised 3 working on 5 of my own kids, those should be enough qualifications for anyone :)
 
I'd hire you!:thumbup: I really dont think you'd have much trouble finding work with all the experience you have. I thought you had 4 kids not 5?
 
I have a 24 year old god son that I helped raise. I had him part time from 10-14 and full time from 14 to 18. Before that it wasnt "official" but between 7 and 10 I had him almost 50% of the time as well. He's my 5th :)
 
lol, hey Mummy! was catching up and reading over stuff. but not really responding :shrug: i still fee sick and in a blahh mood. Milo has been acting up mainly all day. Ava seems better, still just a runny nose. they're at my mom's now (going to pick them up after i post this). we went to Target to buy them both an outfit with a giftcard Thomas got my from my parents for christmas :thumbup:

hope you had a nice day :hugs:
 
He's very handsome heyy! That was a lovely thing you did taking him in and raising him:flower:

Milos:hugs: sorry you still feel sick:( Yay for a new outfit, target has some very cute clothes, there was a vest there I got for Eilidh that has special delivery written on it:haha: Thats good Ava seems better, I hope Milo is calmer for you tomorrow, we've had Ruaridh going off on one all day too:dohh:

Whats everyone upto tomorrow? I'm thinking of taking the kids to the zoo but we'll see lol.
 
So since our fight, my MIL has been acting all sweet-like, but I just found out that she's a coniving, two-faced little Hmm-Hmm.

Mike left his messages open on his FB and the conversation with his mother was open. She spied my FB entries after Mike unfriended me and kept telling him what they were saying, and of course, sided with him without knowing the full story. She told Mike that I wrote that he laughed at me for wanting to lose weight and then said he wanted to leave me, which is true, I wrote that, then went on to say "She just has to air her dirty laundry. Too bad she doesn't tell the truth."

After that, she said, "You have no idea how much I want to intercede on some of the things I see her write. The problem is, my friends see what she writes on my wall. When are we going to divorce her?" And when Mike told her to unfriend me, she said, "Oh no!! I am NOT going to do that. I like seeing what she write. I am always clued in on what is going on. What did you decide to do tomorrow?"

That, from a supposed, self-proclaimed Christian woman.

So, I unfriended her. Now I'm just waiting for the message asking why.
 
Of course divorce is her answer to every marital problem...he hit me, but her perfect son is her perfect angel and can do no wrong, right, so he should divorce me.

Did I mention she's on her 4th marriage?
 
She sounds like a busybody Brandi, you did the right thing unfriending and distancing her:hugs:
 
If you have any mutual friends you should block her- with the new format she can see your posts, etc.
I am considering blocking my exes new gf- I HATE HATE HATE her, always have (she's our old next door neighbor :wacko: ) and now that she's with him she has a bunch of mutual friends with me- I DO NOT want that woman seeing even a glimpse of my life, thank you!
