Noone has it easy. Working or SAHP.

I work from home & the only child care available here is the mobile day care on Thursdays. So if I wanted work out of home, I'd have to find some one, or have family I can rely on... which I don't have right now.

I work in my own kitchen, with 2 - 4 kids under my feet while doing it. I would love to get some work out of the house, just to get out of the house!

And I'm a single mum. If I wasn't working, & wasn't able to have one - 2 days a week then I would get NO time away from my chidren. Unless you've been in that situation, you can't possibly have any idea at all what thats really like. To not be able to just sit outside & cool down for 10 - 15 minutes coz someone HAS to watch/attend to the kids.
When you're that frustrated you're considering hurting someone, but you can't just walk away/go for a drive/whatever.

Something needs to be done. More positions need to be available AND it needs to be more affordable. We don't even get benifits the way it works here. Apparently if I was working when I enrolled DD I could've had some kind of discount... They didn't tell me what it was. No CCB.
