   i would always choose a family over a career! But why choose between them... if you're strong enough and willing enough then you can have both (i know so many who have!) Obciously baby will need you for the first year or so... but then what's stopping you from continuing with your career? If i can do it i know i will... but i'm not a mum yet so i may be in for a shock!

   Its very easy to say "Money is not your God" when you have money. We dont all have partners who are plumbers, Joiners, or Electricians doing homers left, right and centre bringing home a fortune and not paying the tax on the earnings. I think some of you need to get a grip. No-body but me and my partner will decide whether or not we will have kids, its a personal and natural choice and not debatable. Im sick of self righteous morons on these forums-full of S*it. All i read is "Cant afford this , Cant afford that". Stop drinking, stop smoking, stop taking drugs stop, eating crap and spend the money on the kids and dont dare tell me whats right for my kids.

   my baby is now 3 months old, I am knackered and rushed off my feet with 3 kids. got an appointment for the work focused interview when the baby was 2 weeks old. Phoned them and explained that I had recently had a caesarian which is a major op, was very sore and hadn't even been capable of leaving the house yet, and also am breastfeeding ( every hour and a half ) They got a bit snotty with me. Couldn't believe it! they then reluctantly agreed to defer the interview until september. My baby will still only be 5 months old and breastfed, my middle one just turned 2 and my eldest just turned 9.
   As far as I'm concerned, I have a full time job with my kids. My other half still is not working, and spends most of his time over the road at his mate's house cos he cant be doing with the kids.
   He went for a work focused interview yesterday, and says they didn't get snotty with him about not working, so why are they doing it to me?!!!
   only option is to kick him out then job centre would leave me alone for a couple of years!
