i have a few things going on at the moment one being that im studing to be a teacher aide which means i will be doing volentering one day a fortnight night as part of the study not a problem as DH will be home that day the other is the school that i am at has offered me a job one day a week to be swim teacher aide paid of course here is the delema the day they want me to work i will have to pay for care for two of my four kids one being 1 year old ( only just by one day) the other will be 3 1/2 no probs there as she goes to pre - prep 5 days per fortnight. By the time i get paid pay tax and child care and centre link take there bit i will only take home $30 not much hey! the money aside i feel really bad becouse i will be putting bubs into care when i have stayed home with the others untill they were old enough for kindy/pre prep the guilt the guilt the guilt the job will go for about 8 weeks so its only 8 days of care for bubs and its in a child care where my sil is the boss shes lovley and would do any thing for my girls so i know they will be just fine. Ive always been a loud advocate for kids staying out of child care if mum/dad stay home i like kindy/pre-prep as it prepares them for prep/school so i see a real benifit from it but it can be costly so now i am putting bubs - 31/2 year old in care one a week for 8 weeks so i can work. Ive been given the job no interview nothing and it what i really want to do and i think long term it will pay off lets face it by the time im really for full time work i will be 35 and out of work for 9 years with the qualifications that kids leave school with i will no chance.
Im working on sat morns as a swim teacher but i cant see that as making a real solid future long term.
What so you guys think? i have very few people to ask and DH is happy if im happy becouse he knows i will make the best decsion
