Childcare is prohibitively expensive, but there is a halfway house.
Whilst you are in charge of your GD, and ensuring her safety, could you employ a ‘mother’s help’ to give you a little assistance your during the day?
Youngsters wanting some pocket money are fine, because they have your supervision and are often surprisingly good at amusing babies.
This way you get a sit down and a cuppa, and don’t have to spend every minute crawling around after an active tot.
My GD age 4, is amazingly helpful with her 13 month old brother, but an older child would be even more help.
It doesn’t have to be a formal arrangement, but even an hour or two of such assistance really takes the pressure off.
Fruit flies - help needed please.
