How many places of employment have child care facilities......and though many employers may profess to be 'family friendly', in truth they cannot be.....because they want to make a profit.

Excellent point Margaret and one which is hard to comprehend if you haven't been in it. We relocated away from the area in 2000, 18 months later I was made redundant and a single parent in the space of 24 hours. My family were all in Lancashire and without them my support network was none existent. It was a no brainer to return home.
