I have been back to work for 3 months and almost every week my daughter is either sick or been sent back home from nursery. I have had tonsillitis myself for almost 3 weeks and I am struggling to cope. Me and my husband both work full time so it’s really tough. Anyone else in the same boat?

This is a vent more than anything really. I didn't go back to work after maternity leave because I hated my workplace. Luckily we can live off my husbands salary but it's tight. I planned on finding another job after summer this year, which I did, but after doing an induction I decided it wasn't the right job for me...

Are there any HR people in this group? My job is currently in Manchester, just as my maternity started I moved back south to be closer to family and have now managed to find a job down here, as they wouldn’t let me work remote it was 2 days per week in the office which just wouldn’t work. I’m due back in January...

If you get 15 hours free (for being on certain benefits) does your child do term time only or do you spread the hours? If you spread the hours over the year do you have to pay? Also can they do less than 15hours if you want them to?

So just found out I am pregnant (4wks1day) and am going to NYC (live in UK) for work in a few weeks! It’s so early on and I know something could go wrong but I feel I need to at least mention to my manager (who’s coming on the trip too) given the potential for something to go wrong? I also don’t have any sickness ye...

If I'm contractually obligated to work 6 months after my maternity leave- does the 6 months time frame get affected by taking holiday? Thanks!

Single moms with no support system. I’m talking no family, just relying on daycare and school as childcare. How are we surviving and making money?

Do I have to return to my original job after maternity leave ? To avoid paying money back , or as long as I'm in a job still in the NHS would that be okay ?
