I'm trying to rent out a room in the house but with a child in the house, tenants aren't very attracted to it. Selling my home is not an option, I fought so hard to buy it in the first place.
I have no one I could ask to help with childcare and I can't take a second job as I would have no one to mind my child.
Thanks for all the positive responses,it's nice to hear them. I am doing a course at work at the moment so hopefully in a couple of years things will improve, it's just in the meantime I'm trying to keep my head above water. So far I have managed to avoid the credit card but if things keep going the way they are, I'll have to give in.
I feel very frustrated that I have tried to do everything right, i've never been a burden to the state, i pay tax and then when I need help I'm entitled to nothing because I earn too much money even though the vast majority goes on the basics. If I cut back my hours, any money I lose would be made up by SW and savings in childcare costs and possibly mortgage supplement. Where is the incentive to work?
Childcare costs may be high now, but as time goes on that will improve.
When is the government going to give credit to those who pay for childcare?
