I think the big challenge I find is between his need for me and to be with me (he is two) and his needs for a roof over his head and food on the table.

I feel like I have neither enough time (because I need to work) nor enough money (because even working I have to pay for childcare and universal credit just isn't enough).

Nursery are great but he is there for ten hours a day and it makes him so tired.

And I'm forever juggling bills and things to be able to afford the basics for him, I don't get to meet his needs around activities and anything extra. I know lots of other toddlers do regular activities but I just can't afford it and then never mind anything like a holiday.
