I'm going back to work....

I can't offer much advice but with your gym membership...I know at my gym you can transfer your membership over to a family member. If you explain your situation they might let a friend take over your membership if that's possible or find out how much it would cost to end the contract.

I hope you get it figured out.....and you won't have to wean. You could do ff while you were at work and then breastfeed when you are with him. Your body will adjust if it needs to.


You could always move to Newcy and get your sister to be your nanny! Then he wouldn't be with a stranger (long shot I know but we'd happily have you down here!)

Theres some reasonable priced places out at Palm Beach around the $200 mark...
Dont forget you also can use your yearly interest free loan from centrelink...
However I think renting for the first time can be tough to get someone to give you a break

What if you ring centrelink i know they have social workers that might be able to sort out accomodation for you. I know through the the department of housing you can get bond loans and rental grants to get yo u started.
Do you have furniture and stuff?

I would absolutely love to do that, but I just would have start totally fresh and I don't know if I am ready for that...

Oh I just feel like **** I can't stop crying he deserves so much more then what I can give him.

You are doing the BEST YOU CAN with what you have! He deserves to have a Mum who LOVES him and would do anyting for him...and you know what HE DOES. You are doing what you feel is right for you and your son.Do not beat yourself up, think of the upside. More money, better house to live..etc Yes there are down sides, but there is to everything.

Now that she is 21 months and has been in CC since she was 11 months, I find her very social, friendly, will eat many things and will at least try the things that she doesn't like. She sleeps very well with noise and SHE really enjoy seems to enjoy it.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for this post. I have never read such a positive review of child care

A friend of mine is a single mummy to 2 boys,.and lives in Robina,. she pays $275 for a 2bedroom townhouse with a garage in a gated community with a pool...both her kids go to daycare (at Varsity Lakes) - the eldest goes 4days a week and the little one goes 3days,.... she doesn't work! She gets by on her payments and the tiny amount of child support her ex gives her,.. it is tight,..but she manages,... you can do it!!!!!!!
