Can imagine this senario......being constantly phoned up with complaints at work & "oh im sorry boss i've got to go home early because my kids are causing nuisance cos they cant be supervised properly as im here at work yet again" mmmm do u think i'd last long!!
Grrrrrrrrr this subject grrrr!!! I know 2 parent families struggle with working around the kids but its so much harder in fact impossible cos i've tried & still hope there is a job where i can work while they are at school & home when they come home, before the suggestions of school dinner job come in - i did that & worn tshirt still it didnt get me of IS!!! Teaching/asisistant/school office hours are still not much help unless u are lucky to get job at yr kids school, my kids school has fiercely turned me down & wouldnt even hire me for free for my TA course!! I dont drive so would have to be local - plus the fight for jobs as so many have same idea!! especially as it was promoted 2 years ago for a career scheme for lone parents new deal.
I think thats it as in employment that revolves round school times??
unless they invent a cloning device so i could do 2 seperate things at the same time!
Even the local Lone parent group in Hyndburn i chaired for a year closed down just before christmas due to lack of support & lack of memberships.
